SEC AMG WIDEBODY

There is currently listed on EBAY a 1990 SEC AMG Widebody.
Seller has communicated with me and I believe his forum name is Coolbenzo.

He gave references as forum members Bruce and Marco...

Any comments on the seller and quality of his vehicles would be much appreciated....

Public post or PM...

Thanks

Ed A.

P.S.

I'm usually active on the W124 forum, this is my first excursion to the W126 area

Remember, when you read any ad for a vehicle for sale, the words 'pefect', 'immaculate', 'pristine', etc. are subjective and likely the sellers view will be different than the buyer. No matter what, the seller is trying to SELL that vehicle... my beef was that the ad contained inconsistentcies and the seller got upset rather quickly when I questioned him, including if he sold vehicles for a living and that the vehicle had plates from California and yet the ad claimed that vehicle was 'never registered in the U.S.'... a lot of vehicles have been sold on eBay and it truely is amazing to me that so many vehicles are purchased sight-unseen.

Guess I still remember the days where you kicked the tires, so to speak, drove it around the block and then made your best deal... it's different, now days, buying a vehicle online, never sitting in it or driving it, spending thousands of dollars from someone with a eBay screen name, feedback ratings and no eye contact...

Good luck and happy bidding!
