[MBZ] 350SDL on eBay

2013-09-26 Thread Chris James


Seen this 350SDL while browsing eBay. The color caught my eye, don't see
Teal Blue cars too often. But the vid they posted was a total turn off.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psxb9e-rCkQ

OK, we get it, it hauls! Everyone knows the benefits of an Italian
tuneup, but all the revving of the engine  racing it around the parking
lot in a for sale vid didn't impress me or befit the car, especially
with the clicking/clacking lifters and/or belt tensioner  it just
seemed overly loud in general. That 603 certainly wasn't purring. More
like $60K new  30mpg.keep dreaming!

Still it's a pretty car, just not for their original $8K asking price. I
wonder how much the dealer picked it up at auction for?

Wonder why all the windows are down; so he can hear all the loud clattering 
better or to hear a rod come through to daylight or to better hear the 
silence after the chain breaks/brakes?

I know! I know!  (Waving arms and jumping up and down.)

Because - the AC blows so cold that you have to open the windows or you 
will freeze to death.
