Amen Ronald, that is what I think. If I had just not purchased a 1979 240D
with 76K I would have considered it or sure. The old lady would have really
flipped if I brought this home!!! She only flipped a little when I brought
the others home.

If you've pounded the pavement looking for a clean used Mercedes you can
really appreciate the virtues of ebay, particular when the seemingly
PERFECT
car comes along and you can relax and gaze longingly at those beautiful
photos. WIth ebay's far-flung reach, bids from a potentially global array
of potential buyers serve as a better ratification of market value than
can
be realized by conventional car selling methodologies (newspaper and
supermarket ads).
