Saw this pop up and can't tell if it's a scam or not..

I can't find another year with the same interior center controls or seat layout. Is this some franken conversion or complete BS?

Thanks for the offer. I texted the person and never heard back, so my assumption is that it's a scam of some sort.

Laughably enough, I am considering a W166 bluetec as a tow vehicle, but have considered the W463 because it has the same tow rating. ~7500 lbs is good enough for what I need. I won't touch a X166 because of the air suspension.

I have a '07 G500 and those door card design looks a lot older than '07. Not talking about the (faux) leather but more about the door handle and arm rest thingy itself. That looks more like a earlier model. Grill, tail lights and the like, yeah I've replaced them with aftermarket as well. So that doesn't mean anything.
If legit, 53Kmi for $30K is a good price, IF you can deal with the interior. still.. those 'older' doors... no telling what else is borrowed form an 'older cousin'.

Looks like a 4 speed shifter, the back door has a handle to open from the inside which I thought went away after 2005, the door panels are all wrong for a 2007, and they never show a picture with the third brake light. I'd call it a scam.
