Has he told you where to pick it up from yet?
You are a brave make, but fortune favours the bold!

Why don't you just go to the seller have a look at the car and then use his PC to do the paypal payment.

Ooer, i dont like the sound of this pay before you've seen it ,suggest you take a couple of big strong mates with you just in case this seller needs a talking to. I hope i'm wrong, but bearing in mind its cost the seller more for you to pay paypal,i'm very suspicious.

Good Luck Mate.
What a wonderful car !
Even if it needs a few things doing, it's a good price for a car like that.
In the worst case, you can split it for spares and probably get your cash back.
I recently sold a very scruffy 380SE to a specialist MB dealer as a scrapper.

Within days, he had the engine out and it was on its way to Africa.

Good Luck with the wife !!

Cheers.

It looks like it could be a lot of car for the money.......if not send it down to the car lot and me & Terry will knock it out for a song!!

Seriously though...........good luck with it and welcome to W126 ownership.

Update!! Spoke with the Lady who's selling the car today. She's a very posh company director who's just moved to Surrey which is why the car is at her old neighbour's house. She sounded lovely and is hoping I'll really enjoy the car. She just has no use for it anymore as she's bought a newer car.

I'm really pleased - not counting my chickens or anything but it's a good sign, can't wait till Saturday morning now...:bannana::bannana:

For what it's worth - the guy who didn't buy my Fintail on Monday sounded really nice as well .........

 

[Ted]

[219]

He's probably out driving around with a HUGE GRIN on his face !

Still waiting, and we all want photos.

 

[tromppost]

The very nice posh lady he spoke to on the phone has mugged him stole his watch and locked him in the boot, and has now relisted the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bluevenetian]

......sound of fingertips drumming desk top impatiently.......

 

[PXW]

[welland99]

This waiting is intolerable
