He is still looking for one, I know that.

Ahh, someone better tell him about this. I know he doesn't like to buy sight unseen, but he really wants a red CE in Signal Rot, not Almandine. Price matters, and he is in no hurry, but he is definately looking, and a perfect red coupe would suit.

This one is Almandine, and it DOES supposedly have records, it might be close-enough-as-makes-no-difference.

late edit: he has been notified.

Good morning you guys.

I think I know why it has gone unsold.....

Must be the cool (or hot) red interiors!

Hattie, thanks for finding it. JimB thanks for the alert.

I told JimB in an e-mail that I think I've found a suitable replacement. It is a 1990 300CE. It is not signal red but it is in very good conditions, has low miles and a thick and complete set of service records since it was bought new at Beverly Hills Motor.

Enrique blessed the potential future purchase.

Let's see what happens!

The interior would just kill it for me also. Just seems to cheapen it a abit.

Excellent turn of events, but we need more details.

What color is it?

How did you find it? At a dealer's lot, or in a classified ad?

Any pics?

But it is all red, thus it would fit with your previous red conspiracy comment.

I actually don't mind that color so much. The "BIN" price for that car is NUTS!

Only thing about that interior color (other than simple personal preference) is that I bet replacement or used parts and trim pieces would be very hard to find. Can't imagine that too many were ordered in that color.

Wonder what that would look like w/ contrasting creme-colored sheepskins? Probably not too d#mn good but at least worth thinking about.
