You guys don't get out much. This is at least the third time this horrible abortion has been auctioned on Ebay over the last 5-6 months. Each time, some shill bidder comes in at 50-60k, and a few weeks later, there it is again.

This car is a fine example of automotive excellence. No sir, it doesn't get any better than this.

not to be rude or anything, but you could pretty reasonably afford a 1997 e420 on a Mcdonalds/burger king salary.

Maybe, if it was in the right condition. But needing constant repairs these cars are likely cost prohibitive on that kind of wages...

1997 Mercedes-Benz E420
i didnt just buy my car again people's assumptions

i bought my car approximately 3 years ago (summer of 06). wasnt so easy to come by at those prices three years ago, when i first bought my car there was only 1 e420 in my area, but like 5 E320's and a couple of E55's, since then there are alot more of these cars in my area but thats because the values on these cars are going down, i saw one (e420) on cars.com a few weeks ago and they wanted 3K for 130K on the odo(private owner), if that car was in the same shape my car was in (and i wouldnt dare go by the photos posted) and I would have known i would have waited to buy one but then again i got mine with 90K on the odo, and ive had so many fun times with my car

Gotta say Vertigo, I like your cardboard mods better that the original posted car. More cost efficient as well.
Hah, That white Benz(if ya wanna call it that) is the epitome of Gawd. I used to be involved with the street rod scene, and that wold have been laughed at by any judge at a show. Never seen so many holes and vents punched into a car body in my life, and I'll bet the car would come apart in a hi speed wind tunnel.
Lotta wasted effort.
I will (reluctantly) give it a good comment on the white interior work, but even that is over the edge. How many TV's do you really ned anyways?

But he's thinking outside of the box.
