The single picture in that ad is amazingly bad. That's all I can say.
I bid on one ebay car, but I drove it first. I would suggest the same for anyone. That car sold for far more than it was worth. |

Must have been owned by a German pimp or perhaps one of ours bought it after it hit the states. It will never cease to amaze me how/why people trash these cars?
Just the other day a poster here was wondering about alternate parts sources for his "grey" mkt. MB. He wasn't thrilled about having to wait a week or so for a fuel pump relay(I think that's what it was). Do you want an auto whose replacements parts are in some/many cases going to take awhile to get? If that's not an issue and you dig gawdy looking MBs, go for it.

This one is a REAL gamble, the seller knows nothing about Mercedes, but could be good only for a very brave DIYer who got it for next to nothing.
Most sensible buyers would want to pass it by.

Looks like a pimped ride and a gullible seller who knows nothing.

Thanks for the advice but I'm not considering purchasing it, just curious what an Evolution is.

Is it my imagination?
Is it my imagination or is that car sitting up higher than normal? Maybe it's the funky chrome trim above the wheels making it look that way.
