I'd take some great photos for a discount on that 5.5...

In all seriousness I just about bid $4500, could always use that 4th car (but it would get me kicked out of the house)

If Detroit was not so far from me in Houston I would be VERY tempted including the 5.4L E55 motor option as per your ad.

Is the bottom of the car rusty?

No bottom of the car is very very clean. I can ship the car to huston for $700. Not that big of a deal....

You don't need a professional photographer.

Look at my old for sale thread.

https://mbworld.org/forums/mercedes-...41k-miles.html

I am far from a photographer, and was only using a 7 megapixel powershot.

Photos sell cars. Period.

Also, if you have not listed it on autotrader, do so. Much better avenue than cars.com. I have sold 4 cars via autotrader. Only use it when it doesn't sell via forums.

what was the reserve?

I'm convinced it will sell for more in 3-4 months.

The fact that southern buyers who might be interested can't come see it in person, and that no one up here wants it right now is killing it. The old pictures weren't helping either of course.

This. Even your new photos looked like ***. Are you using a camera or a cell phone?!?! The eBay pics were still blurry, not crisp and defined. The white balance is off and is not giving a good idea of the color. Also, your pics don't show all the different angles of the car.

Pop the hood, open doors and trunk, etc., etc. Take a look at fotos of cars that inspire you and copy those shots. Ask yourself, "would I buy a car that looks like this"?

Don't know what to tell you about your camera. I'd have a friend help me out with good pics.

Your car didn't sell to me because I couldn't get approval (having just bought a house and an immaculate w124 for the wife).

I'd have it in my drive-way today if it weren't for my debt ratio. Having just had a baby, I doubt I could raise enough to pay cash for it any time soon.

Heart breaking. I get a little light headed when I look at that car. I've dreamed of C43's since I was 16 and especially black ones. They're so rare and special.

Good luck with the sale, sir. She's a beaut, alright.

and I'm waiting for those other pictures, excited for both things.

I'm still wishing I lived somewhere warm and could have gotten the black one as a daily driver.
