Looks nice....BUT!

[MangoMan]

I can't help the feeling its a bit 'Dodgey'?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=290125449915&rd=1&rd=1

Thoughts please???

I'm actually interested, well was till I realized I couldn't view it! Read the questions.....

Thanks in advance, Bill.

The only dodgy thing i can see is thats its a facelift model but has pre facelift rear light clusters (perhaps signs of a previous accident ?)

 

[gina2201]

Hmm, shame as the rest of the Q&A's look legit and his feedback is good, UNLESS he has nicked someone's username (it has happened!)

 

[Dieselman]

No shots of the drivers seat and how convenient for the seller to have to leave the country just as people want to view..

 

[MangoMan]

I know, I was quite b loody keen till I read the q&a's whilst I was about to send my own requesting a viewing....... DAMN! And the bidding don't look kosher!

Just notice the Windscreen Wiper arm looks damaged/broken near the base!

 

[gina2201]

He's also selling a Rover, so could be genuine? He does sound it, unless they are getting more clever these days, usually they read terribly.

I would keep watching it and if he relists as he says he will if it doesn't sell go and view it then....

I'll run an HPI tomorrow, we'll see......

 

[High-Lo]

Hi, there is a few months Tax which may be bought at cost

Does that mean he wants extra money for the tax thats left after the auction ends

Or it might be prefacelift with a change of bumpers(front and rear) and front headlamps and clusters

 

[MangoMan]

Yeah, saw that. Also he states that he will sell it only if he gets a reasonable price, yet there is NO RESERVE!

Sorry, the more I look, the more I don't want to look......

 

[maggot]

Phoned the bloke to arrange a viewing and to get the VIN no. .......its Steve and not Bob as in the builder by the way. Sadly he did'nt get back to me with the VIN and whilst not evasive, I found it disappointing that he'd listed the car as a Sportline without any knowledge of what actually constitutes a Sportline spec Mercedes.

That said he did seem in a mighty flap and any cheap late model coupe with climate and "reasonable" ? miles is worth a look.

Watch this space I guess.

 

[BlackC55]

Its near to me. Only up the road. if you want me to check over the car for you for a small fee I can.

PM me.

Did a HPI today.

It's a Class 'C' Write-Off. from a prang. Extensively Damaged! So you will need a VIC done (£36.00) before you get it changed into your name. 3 Number Plate Changes. 6 Previous Owners. Vin as stated above.... Colour on HPI says 'BLACK' ???

Walking............. Bye.

You never know do you better safe than sorry, lucky escape there...

Listing is no longer available

 

[aka$h]

If your traveling a fair way, its always worth doing a hpi check before you go to see it.

 

[glojo]

I think the listing has been removed.

Definitely agree about the HPI checks. They can quite literally be a life saver. (cut-n-shut)

I have no idea who you're referring to here but it sure isn't me. Thanks for the kind offer.
