I’m happy. I don’t think the seller is very happy, though. This was his post after the hammer fell: "SINCE IM ON THIS SITE, I NEVER SEEN A DEAL LIKE THAT. I GUESS THE BUYER IS LUCKY :) THANK YOU FOR THE BIDDING EVERYONE.” I guess that confirms that I did, in fact, get a deal. -D > On Dec 31,

Good score although the buyer premium seems quite excessive on lower priced items --FT On 12/31/23 1:09 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: So you are saying you got the wheels for $325 with fee? Sent from my iPhone On Dec 31, 2023, at 11:55 AM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote:

No. I paid $750 for the wheels and $225 buyer’s premium for a total of $975. Sorry for any confusion. These are typically going for $1500-$2000/set or more, with worn tires. -D On Dec 31, 2023, at 1:09 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: So you are saying you got the wheels for $325 with

The S whatever it was AMG was back again this week. It would make a cheap AMG for someone who likes to go fast. a GL450, a GL550. Both looked good. I drove the 550 a few yards. An ML 350 an SLK and some others I didn't get close enough to see what they were. Looked like a GLK on a semi that

You send $, I will find a dealer to buy it for you. Probably between $100 and $500 for the dealer to mess with it. You or I can't buy it. A 240D automatic can go fast enough to attract johnny law. My 300Ds and SDLs go fast enough that will just throw you in jail and take your license.

Re: [MBZ] Auction fun

The W220 will cost you over $2000 just to sort out the air suspension if all four corners are toast. At minimum you’re looking at over $1000 for an axle, and that’s if you’re DIY’ing it. Double that if you’re paying someone to do the work for you. Only two sources for air shocks, MB and the

The computers just make a mess of it. The W220 spits out errors on the dash every so often. Writes them in its little list of screw ups, then forgets about them when you start it again. I have errors mostly for lighting that is not failing. The computers just think they are failed.

So how hard would it be to fix the AMG air bits? Either some sort of stealer bits or bodge up something home brewed? Is it mechanical or electronical or an unholy combo? Those E55s are hot rods, for a few $100 to buy one it seems like it would be worth some rat engineering to try to get it

Re: [MBZ] Auction fun

On the AMG, I would guess the the RTW cars get springs for the E class. But the question is if you can fool or disable the computer, or will it tell the other computers the car is screwed so it won't run at all or in limp mode only. On the S, Maybe all of them are on air. Airlift makes good
