I find the E500 badge in the back out of place considering it still has pre face lift head lights lol.

AutoCheck shows the identical 109,770 odometer reading both in 2014 and again in 2022.

I'm calling the odometer broken and TMU... could be 200kmi for all we know.

$65k is a big ask given the question mark on the actual miles, plus the nondisclosed accident. EDIT - and, I missed that the interior "needs new upholstery". Yikes.

The duck tail spoiler makes it worth every penny

I was wondering about that also. If the parts were purchased years ago when available, that would be great. Invoices / photos would help a lot. But, it's Facebook...

a lot of people now believe that if Seinfelds car sold at auction for 300k plus now everyone thinks they’re car is worth that much

Agreed. And, the recent sale on BaT of the silver car that went for $90k has people thinking their car with similar miles but a bad interior must certainly be worth at least $65k. Nevermind the really nice Pearl Black car that sold the week earlier for a mere ~$35k... showing just how fickle the market is.

i asked for some interior pictures, this car looks like the one from sacramento that it was for sale like 6 months ago

Ouch. Besides the severe bolster wear (further cementing the 109kmi as fantasy)... the color doesn't match on the seat leather vs the rest of the interior. Almost like the seats were swapped out. Really weird. Can't quite tell if the seats look like Parchment (1993 should be Cream-Beige).

 

[nocfn]

No I will not go and look at this car for anyone. Well, for 30k I will

 

[T0Pnotch55]

maybe he mistyped 65k instead of 6500$

Dave do you have a screenshot of the Autochek where it shows accident?

Some people are just super hard on their interiors. I bought an A124 from a body builder. His shoulders were twice as wide as my waist so the seats were worn much higher up.

I think that the interior condition has a lot to do with what the owner wears. If they drive around shirtless or in tank top, it won't take long to destroy the interior.

OMG...

I'll take half that for mine. It has straight body and nice interior. The only problem is that what's under the hood is a bit old , worn out and grumpy.
