As NEW '82 240D:$22500?

Link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2441725531&category=6329

Looks nice and seems in very good,as new
condition.
Does the saying apply here:"if it sound to good
to be true,it usually is".


He says."I only drove it for a few hundred miles
but new E55 comming so need a parking slot".

He doesn't say he just bought the car but does say that
the previous owner had it only for about a year.
This is a repost so he should have it(E55) by now.

Sounds strange to me.

If you know that you're going to buy a new car
(You don't decide on buying an new car over night+
you need to order it{can take time to arrive}),
then why do you buy a $20.000+ car,
just to drive it a few months and then sell it!?

Maybe I'm looking for something that isn't there,
but it just doesn't make any sence to me.

Louis.

Lightbulb "Underused?"

It does seem strange, it could be true. There are those who believe that an "underused" car as a bad as an abused car. (I do wish I had 25K laying around )

As beautiful as that car looks, I have to admit that i fit into that category. I used to have a '65 CHevelle that only had 50K miles on it and was in excellent shape...however, I had neverending problems with it 'cause it had sat so much and ws driven so little (it was a granny car)...

Cars were meant to be driven, not to sit around. However, when being driven, they have to be treated properly...due to "disposable car syndrome", people have a tendency to not do that, though.
