Lol, i like how all the pictures were taken at the dealer. And the cardboard mod is pretty sweet! 0 feedback and doesn't completely fill in his adress... just puts IL, scam to the max.... nobody would ever pay more than 10k without even verifying if its fake... Well other than me and ClayJ since I am a few billion richer than him...

If they are going for that much with less than 1k, put me down for one. How much are the SL600's going for then?

That is a scam on ebay doing it with tall kinds of high end cars wants you to deposit the money in his own escrow company then he is gone, he is using past ebay real auctions to get the info.

BTW Saw that a 2006 SL65AMG sold at auction last week for $108,000 with 3400 miles on it. What a buy

90K at auction? What auction was that?

At Manheim for 2006 so far...

3 SL65's have been sold at auction

9047 Miles $124,750
6669 Miles $123,500
8758 Miles $123,500

Two of the three appear to be lease cars....

Where are all the 90K SL65's? Even if they are selling at Auction for 90 to 125K dealers are still trying to sell them for 140 to 165K.

Enjoy!

i don't think anyone that buys an sl65 really cars about resale value (i suppose that's what you meant) afterall, they really are paying $100,000 extra just for a damn engine when you think about it (with sales tax)

the backend isn't tht bad lookin.. but i dunno.. the old SLK was ok in this color, but the SL.. i dunno.. just too much...

The guy is full of ****. I offered $100k cash if we could arrange a meeting. This is the response I got:

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I waited until the add was about to expire.
Can we discuss this by email ? I would much rather communicate like
this instead of eBay.
The car is in perfect condition, no accidents, no problems, not even a
scratch, has a clear title and a clear CARFAX report. One owner,
non-smoker, perfect condition. The car in a wharehouse of the shipping
company I will use to have the car sent to the buyer. No extra cost for
shipping, I already paid their services. I'm in process of moving back to
Holland so I can't take care of the sale myself 100% and I can't arrange
a visit.
If you are interested in buying it at the instant buy price, please let
me know with your shipping info (name, address and eBay ID if you have
one) and I can initiate the transaction using eBay.
No montly payments, no other hidden taxes or anything. Just the price
on eBay.
The price is low because I got the car without having to pay any taxes
at all, working in diplomacy has it's avantages, and also I want to
sell it quickly, so I had to sell it for a lower price than normal.



Regards
Brad

Yes...the car has US specs but it's not much difference between US and European specs.Let me explain to you how this should work. The online escrow company will contact you, give you their account for you to wire the money for the car, money which they hold until you receive the car and inspect it. After you inspect the car, if you decide to buy it, the escrow company informs me to send you the car's papers, and once the deal is done they send me the payment.
If you decide for any reason not to buy the car, they refund you your money in 5 days tops, and inform you to send the car back, and the shipping back will be paid by me.
If you are interested in buying it at the instant buy price which is 50 000$ , please let me know with your shipping info and I can initiate the transaction using eBay

This was the last email he sent me just fun playing with this JOKER!

You don't understand....you will make the deposit to the escrow company, then, after they secure the money, you can come if you really want to come even if shipping is free for you, inspect the car and let eBay know if you buy it or not. If you do, take the car and they give me the money, if not you leave and ask your refund from them.Simple. But I need your name and shipping address to forward those to eBay.
