Anyone know this SL65
VIN #WDBSK79F65F092186
It's a black 04 with the panoramic roof. Bought in september04 in Tennesee. Then it was for sale in Dallas in 1/05. I am researching it. I would appreciate any help guys.

I already have a clean carfax but the guy trying to sell it is telling me he has the car in Italy and cannot register it so he wants to sell it back in the states. He knows particulars about it but they could have easily come off of carfax. I am telling him to ship it to Mercedes in Dallas and have it checked and I will buy it after that. I just want ot see if it's a scam. I already told him I will send no money ahead of time. I just wanted to see if if this is anyone's car on the site or if they knew if it had been stolen or anything. Anyone know how to trace an email address to see where it's coming from? Thanks guys.

I hope you realize its a scam. Please don't put any more time into this. There is on way someone would buy a $180,000 , brand new then sell it for $100,000 because he can't register it in italy. He could ship it back to the states and sell it to a dealer for $150,000 all day long. Anyway I have seen this many times, the same story I bought the car, cant register it blah blah blah. If you want to have fun with the guy by all means go for it, but dont expect there to be a new sl65 at the end of the journey. As far as finding the ip address I don't know but I can ask my cousin. If you ever to go a website 419eater or something like that, there is a guy who documents all his dealings with these *****es and has them do funny ****. He even was able to scam $20 off a scammer!

I bet I still have some e-mails, saved, from this very same guy! I ran across him when looking for a car a few months ago…
Play with him…his stories are entertaining! I am glad to see you know it is a scam!
It would be nice to notify the REAL owner that his car is up for sale and currently in Italy.

I am sure somebody on this site knows how to find this guys ip address and figure out who he is. I read on this site or another, somebody tracked down one of these *****es(who needless to say was wanted for fraud) and had him arrested.

The problem is these guys have hundreds of email addresses, so one email address wont make much difference. The key is to use common sense, if you see something thats too get to be true it is. If someone is selling a 180,000 car for 100,000 and wont let you see the car, its probably a scam. I think what needs to happen is somebody make an example of one of these guys. Look at carbuyer, there are tons of scams on there, guys selling s600's for 18000 and ferrari 360s for 30,000.
