Just want to shout out fellow MBworlders for all your help. From the price negotiation, to vehicle history, to combing the net for cars, etc.

Y'all been fantastic. My search has ended.

1 weirdness: Wawanesa is having a hard time matching the VIN to a car.

Looks like a dealer has vntgrcr's car now. Still a great looking car, I wish they would have put the badges back on the tailgate though!

Finally, some photographs of the former-Atlanta-now-Dallas E55 wagon. The color is Obsidian Black. So far the car is all but perfect.

OK Tony, you're up next!

E63 Estate

My E63 Wagon is SOLD, near what the asking price was with the dealer. In the end it was easier to have my friends dealership handle the sale and trade (since most cannot buy without selling something else).

Car had no issues and was as represented, very nice.

(oh badges are in the glovebox if he wants to advertise what it is, i prefer no badges)

Anyone in the area that can confirm this ad

HI there just wondering if there is anyone that lives in the area in which this car is for sale that can confirm it. Just not sure as its listed as a private sale and worried it could be a scam. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

Most cameras put a date stamp on the picture and some embed them in the file info as well. Most fakers can't comply since they don't have the car.....

I agree with the others here I don't think its being faked. The Carfax shows FL and the posting is reflecting a FL phone number which also checks out as a person who seems to have sold cars in the past.

Good luck with your pursuit!
