brand new paint on the SoCal scale

"The car has original paint and looks brand new...But, there is a small scratch on the front bumper (visible)...and one on the driver door which is barely visible."

Scratch? What would a ding look like on her scale?

Oh........definitely..........that vehicle looks brand new.........it came with the "door damage option" which makes the vehicle appear to have already been broken into.

.........quite valuable for those living in Brooklyn........

Classy. With the dash all lit up, for $40 I think I'd take em up on the offer to smog it in CA.

Exclamation This "budget breath" 20 year old college girl is selling her W140.

Owner: Female College Student . The car ... smoother and more comfortable than my 1998 E55 Mercedes. All the electronics stuff work except the Power Door Locks. My friends said that could be one of the fuse in the back of the car which can be replaced for about $10. In addition, the SRS light stays on...but it has been on since I brought the vehicle from a friend about 2 years ago.

MAACO Auto Paint & Auto Body (www.maaco.com ) offers $180 for the spot paints of those areas...but I don't think it worths the money.

Toyota starting price is about $20K while the S-class Benz costs $80K-$200K [/COLOR] (depends on what kind of S-class: S320, S420, S500, S600, S65 AMG, etc.) It is up to the buyer...if he/she wants to make the car all perfect...like installing 20" Chrome rims, custom-made Euro. headlight, body kit, etc. Recent works done on the car: oil change, new headlight was replaced, newly installed mp3 player, which cost me a total of $600. For California residents...don't worry it will pass the CA smog-check...If you prefer...I could do the smog check and then charge you $40 extra... The price is $2000-$3000 below Kelly blue book...because...the date to pay for my tuition is coming soon... I just need to sell the car ASAP to pay for my damm university......so here is your chance to own the S-class Benz for a cheap price.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope this young lady lady will find it "worths the money" to include "English As A Second Language" as a course she needs to take at her "damm University"
!!!!

These third and fourth tier owners who can't or won't maintain the complex marvels that the W140 cars are - even a $10 fuse or an SRS light, and want to quibble about the $40 smog check (which in California, is a procrustean bed on which the seller is forced to lie, and is obliged to provide the smog certificate,) are most surely handing off a mountain of problems to the buyer of this car.

Perfect recipe for a nightmare.

Run away!!!

IMO she definitely should have left the fact that she's a female college student out of the ad.
