I guess if you get some new wheels it would look good. Obviously English is not his first language as his ad write up is horrible. I would deff have to see that car in person and check it out. Lines look straight but pics hide alot. Thats a nightmare car if you get the wrong one.

why wouldn't you post the link to the auction instead of just listing the number? Did you just discover how to use the Internet?

With all the bs concerning infractions on this forum, I decided not to link the auction. Thanks for your input just the same.

The wheels and grammar haven't scared me off. If the car checks out tomorrow, I will take the plunge.

I just had service done at mercedes benzs and came threw with flying colors next service in 10,000 miles

Just a small example of the lines of BS I see in his description, I'm sorry, this just scares the crap out of me when looking at something like this. If it were a first gen Talon or something fine, but on this level of car, and the guy appears to be a dealer of some kind, I would run. My .02

Regards

Robo-troll?!? Robo-spammer?!

Seriously, the spammers are getting more sophisticated....parsing other users thread comments to seem more "relevant".

The standing offer to drink bleach still applies.

...and your lame imbedded ads don't even work.

BK, Car looks good. Before you take the plunge a few things to keep in the back of your mind.

1. ask him If you could pay for an inspection by MB, it will set you back by a few bucks but worth every penny. They will inspect the car and tell you if any open recalls or any faults in suspension etc.

2. If you'd like we could run the VIN thru my SA and he will pull the MB history on it assuming it was serviced by them.

3. If you could get a warranty on it, you will have a blanket of security.

Change those wheels, lower it a little and add a TCU/ECU from speedriven and you got yourself a rocket ship. Let me know if you decide to buy, would love to see it.
