Now that’s a proper mafia tint.

Branded title? If this car is anywhere below 100kmi... yea..

Driven in Russia and no underside pictures? I lived in Moscow for a year and as much salt as they put on the road there and as massive as the potholes are, I would never consider a car that had been driven in that market. Maybe they find a brave soul to buy it….

Question: How does a reputable auction house put out a vehicle they haven’t fully vetted? A classified ad in the newspaper would at least have mileage in it, wouldn’t it?
Kinda puts a bidder off not only this car but any other they promote, IMO.
Good luck to whoever buys into this one without real details.

What am I seeing in pic #3 on the DS fender just behind the fender flare above the side marker. On my I-phone it looks like a paint bubble.

Terry, I’m also on my phone but I think that is a reflection of some sort maybe?

Not the proper lower cladding color code, too dark.

Interesting how Carfax reports importation in 2023 from Japan versus Autocheck, not that it makes much difference

They added a bunch of pictures.

Here's something interesting (or not, depending on how you view randomness):

• WDB12401361C000126's VIN is exactly 125,000 before this car's (WDB1240361C125126)
• Their engine numbers are exactly 1000 apart (8144 and 9144)
• They have the same exterior AND interior colors
• They have the same style of 5-spoke wheels

Is the chassis number/engine number spacing random?

Is the chassis number/engine number spacing random?

Yes, and the engine numbers are NOT always sequential like the chassis numbers.

BJ says sold for $64.9K all in.

One of the best looking E500's i have seen. Best color, sits perfectly, deep dish wheels and nicely done exhaust tips.
