Today's The Day
Today is the day that I sell my beloved CLK430. You may have seen my posts: 2002 w/7,800 miles on it. I will end up selling it to CarMax for $28K.
Hate to do it but I (obviously) am not driving it much. Had to deal with a potential scammer from the web. He sent me a check for more than the purchase price and expected me to send the difference to the shipping company. Then, I would be out the difference...in this case $5,500. I called the bank the check was drawn on. Turns out, it was a bad check. Luckily, I didn't bite.
So long and good luck.

As a matter of fact, you wouln't have had the car, your money, AND you would have been on your way to jail!
Also, watch out for the scam (w/you as a buyer) where the seller is telling you that the car is currently being 'stored in the eBay warehouse' so you can't see it just yet.
