What do you all think of this one?

What do you guys think of this one?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1872867472

It looks like he put the wheels on that he just bought off e-bay...I hope he didn't put one of those instrument clusters that he just bought on the car as well. (check his feedback purchases)

I've asked for pics of instrument cluster with car idling as well as engine compartment, and also to let me know what service records he has.

No way hes getting buy it now price----I'd go 3k unless I sense some funny business. I'll try and post pics if he sends me more.

Any thoughts?...Aloha

I also noticed this guy bought a couple of benz's in which the sellers ended bidding early to sell to him....Why would they do that?

I'd Be Leary

Greetings,

The 123 looks nice enough on the auction, but like you said previous purchases of Benz clusters etc. would make me believe he's up to something. He did get taken on the SD grill for a $101 though as they can be bought new complete for $85

Those chromed wire wheels really look funny/strange on a Mercedes.

I don't think they are wire wheels, but I don't like the chrome either.

They are chrome bundt cake wheels. I don't like chrome is just about every instance when it comes to wheels. Alloy looks classy on these cars, chrome makes it look cheesy. Chrome wheels are something an idiot kid would put on his civic...

Yes, I think you're right. I think they are bundt cake. They still look funny/strange.
