Another E-Bay Fake?

If this IS what this dealer is claiming it to be, it must be a ONE-of-ONE: 2002 CL600 AMG with FACTORY Turbo (I am skeptical). I wrote him, and he is supposed to send me pictures of the factory turbo.

Yeah, those emblems under the bumper YIKES!!! You are good, I didn't even notice the one picture without the AMG Plaque, but I DID see the one with, and wondered what wrecked AMG he got it from? Still no pictures of that FACTORY turbo as promised yesterday. LOL

It's not an AMG plaque.. it's a fake metal plaque that they sell on eBay... it doesn't even make sense... it has a crooked signature on it and on the bottom it says "Special Edition"...

Nice fake twin turbo.

It is not suprising at all that the starting price of $200 was as high as the bidding went. Yes, thats right not even a single bid on this obvious fraud of a mismatched car. His description states " I will beat any price on the same car". That should be easy considering he has the only 2002 cl 600 bi-turbo in the country. Good luck with your sale sir.
