Every time I see this seller I get frustrated. Almost all his cars have Maaco Paint jobs and smoke and mirrors. Notice the poorly taped lines and how the paint runs over the trim in some shots, the stick on wood on the upper panel and shifter fascias, blue paint on the roof drip rails, paint on the cruise box etc. Refinished wheels, he has refinished the rockers with a coat of paint, but neglected to finish around the passenger front jack hole, guage needles too orange to have over 200K. the "300D" isnt even stuck onto the trunk correctly.

Quote:

It has all possible options by Mercedes-Benz including : power sunroof,power steering, high power am/fm/CD,4 speaker stereo sound system,wooden trim all around,yellow fog lights,air conditioning,CRUISE CONTROL,power locks and windows.Garage-kept quality vehicle.The vehicle is equipped with bumpers that can withstand an impact of 5 miles per hour with no damage to the vehicle's body or safety system although the bumper and related components may sustain damage,the bumper system on this vehicle conforms to the current fedral bumper standard of 5 miles per hour

When was everything up there an option except for the sunroof? Of course high power AM/FM/CD by Optimus (Radio Shack Brand) was optional in 1983 too....

He purposely keeps the ID's private so people cant email bidders and say "hey watch out for ____"

This is why I'm losing confidence in the ebay community.
