Great progress man!! Keep it up. Lots of money you're digging into that Benz. It's worth it though.

The Amsoil you purchased is perhaps the best motor oil decision you could ever make. I didn't really know how good this stuff was until my latest oil analysis revealed that even after 6,000 miles there is virtually no wear on the engine. Amsoil is just incredible!

Anyway, the transmission in my Euro 500SEL just crapped out and I'll be parting the sucka out. Send me a e-mail with all that you need and let's do some business. Do you still need that blower motor? Well, just send me an e-mail. In case you already lost it, my address is braverichard @ hotmail . com

Congratulations on getting setup as a seller on eBay. Since you're a beginner, I'll offer you this useful advice: always proof read your auction listing and avoid spelling/grammar errors. You have a bunch of such errors on your listing right now and people like me don't take a seller who can't even bother to avoid such errors seriously.

Good luck,

Richard

Sorry man, as I stated in our last e-mail, for some strange reason my Euro 500SEL didn't even come with a radio fader switch!!
