Genuine ?

Anyone know Merc of Grimsby ?

Appears genuine, feedback pretty good, one neg and that's for buying.
Has sold quite a few cars previously and good feedback left so looks and sounds good, £4k AT THE MOMENT - no doubt this will increase, and usually in the last minute by alot!

Quite a few Mercedes dealerships seem to advertise on ebay so I'm pretty sure it's legit.

Here you go, there is an MB Grimsby, and the telephone number tallies. Might make a nice buy for someone...

OK... VIN (WDB2102742A885864) also checks out... but what are :

809 Change of year of model, last figure shows new model year

954 equipment package for avantgarde vehicles (с 01.06.1993)
rotating emergeny flasher, front (red light)

984 elimination of ownership certificate but with coc papers (с 01.06.1993)

Does it mean it was police owned ????

Just got to talk girly into it.....

what's a reasonable price, given age, condition and milage ?

The Russian site gives some odd descriptions for the codes sometimes.
Cross check them on this website if in doubt mbclub.co.uk/codes
Code 954 is just Avantgarde spec
I think code 984 is the certificate of conformity required for cars sold in Europe.
Not sure what the change of model year is all about.

It looks nice but I think you need to actually see it before you bid so you can check it for rust, gearbox faults etc.

Yep. I've actually got mine, it has all the specs and figures on it.

The car was built after August so is the next model year spec.

and I missed it.......

Missed the auction?

I personally wouldnt purchase a vehicle off eBay without seeing it, even if it is from Mercedes-Benz and especially since its a complex, high power E55 beast.
