Bluetooth conversion

anyone here did conversion to bluetooth on 2007 C350? Basically I found one local in chicago, but does not have a bluetooth, is this an easy ad on? I have seen some ebay listings but they are super pricy. Worth the price? will it work?
does the car have to have navigation?

thank you for all input

Found this one in northwest Chicago, can anyone do some VIN checking

Hi

I found this one in northwest IL, pretty close to me. Can anyone do some VIN search on the options that are the car, sometimes seller advertises more then it was sold with. Looking for breakdown on options.

its here, https://cargur.us/sDJ7r

I do not want to advertise it, just need honest opinion, please do not cut me short and buy it under me. ( I had someone buy 2014 GL550, when I posted a question)

here is its VIN WDBRF87H17F885735

I paid for carfax, it had some small bumper scratch, no body work. Any input, what should I look for when checking this car?

Thank you

Go and google "Mercedes Benz VIN Decoder" and it will give you plenty of options to plug your VIN # in and see what the car is all equipped with. I have used this one in the past: https://www.datamb.com

Someone else grabbing the car from under you is the price you pay when posting here. At this point, it is all fair game, first come first serve, so do not procrastinate.

Looking at the the pics of the car, sounds like a decent deal, I would try to chew them down a bit.

According to the build sheet, the engine serial number is:
272970 30 505957 the cut off for the balance shaft problem was, I believe engines before ....468993 Please correct me if I am wrong.

It is equipped as my '07 280 with the addition of navigation.

So did you look at it and drive it yet? What is the hold up?

Research..read...and research agine! Builder name today means not much since 2000. Great cars since employ less than standard parts including (defective) French built GM transmissions..supplied to .BMW..LAND ROVER, CADILLAC....and many more! Just because it says GERMAN doesn't mean it was built by skilled German hands.....more very likely CHINA!....sucker!

So did you go look at it, drive it and buy it? What is the scoop?

Or did you indeed go for the Lexus?

Based on the speed of lightening you are operating on, you might as well go and get a KIA, as the MB is most likely sold.
