I'm not going to go into detail with the whole transaction here but in short I met the POS in Dalton to show him the car and brought everything I had for it because he said he would most likely buy it. After driving it he immediately low-balled me ($1,600 and I was at $2,800). I went down to $2,500 and still too much for him. He claimed the car was for his son and he wanted to fix it up for him and give it to him because he was getting his license soon. I needed the money to buy a truck so I/we agreed on $2,150 which hurt me in the heart but knowing the car needed some things here and there I thought it was decent. I even threw in some new front brake pads/rotors I didn't have time to install.

In short please view my original listing here:

The Scammer's Craigslist Ad:

1987 MERCEDES BENZ 300 D TURBO DIESEL

My reply to his ad on Craigslist:

RE: 1987 MERCEDES BENZ 300 D TURBO DIESEL - $6400 (ROSWELL GA)

Please help me FLAG this POS Scammer who not only lied to me with his reasons of buying the car but is lying to all potential buyers who may be interested in this car. I should have NEVER sold it to him!
Flagged! Wow, what a lying sack of crap!!! I'm amazed and impressed that you caught him, and think your repost is great. It really goes to show that you're rolling the dice when dealing on Craigslist.

I'm selling my 84 300SD right now and have it listed on CL (as well as here). I REALLY hope someone from the forum buys it so I don't have to deal with people like this.

I hope karma catches up with this guy...
