WTH? $40K?

Re: FS: 1994 E500, Silver/Black, 370kmi, $40k (Torrance, CA)

Looks like the seller added up his receipts and wants to get that amount back.

Never. Add. Up. The. Receipts.

Never.

Newly painted, with the wrong color lowers. I kinda feel sorry for the seller. He's going to need to provide a lot more photos and documentation to get even half the asking price, IMO.

Maybe it is a fat finger on the keyboard and he meant $4K?

If it was a Glen-level restoration, with fantastic documentation, I could almost - maybe - understand the asking price.

I think Melville nailed, it btw. So who lives in South LA that could go kick the tires on this beast?

I noticed they sprayed the mirror boots as well. Seats look wrong. I get the feeling there is more.

He added up all receipts including gas and oil changes. May be carwash receipts as well. LOL

Something wrong with the blinkers as well

for this price he should provide a $28 000 gift card to MB dealer

Good catch on the mirror boots, Drew. Dunno how I missed that. Maybe it was done on purpose, but IMO it's just wrong and will cost ~$300 for new booties to fix it.

I never would have noticed the seat, but I agree, something looks different. Really need more photos.

Re: FS: 1994 E500, Silver/Black, 370kmi, $40k (Torrance, CA)

On another look the seat issue may just be a shadow.

If I had time, i'd love to drive up there with the high miler. With almost 60% more miles, it would make an interesting comparison.

"Newly painted" yet there's a scrape on the left front bumper.

"Newly painted" yet there's a scrape on the left front bumper.

I can’t really fault the seller on that — it is one of the immutable laws of the universe that a freshly painted bumper will get scraped right away.

@Glen, It would be great to see you up here sometime soon or maybe Ernesto who is also close by.

I’m in Torrance every day but my time is very limited to kick tires. I have yet to meet Ernesto/HiPower for lunch that
I agreed to after the GTG Extravaganza three years ago.

IMO, For $40K it’s a real waste of my time and the “Sellers” but if anybody here gets serious let me know. I think the first step is for the “Seller” to get back on this planet.

This “Seller” appears to be really uninformed about his car. Crappy cellphone pics also. Wonder what the right side of the car looks like? Also the painted mirror booties if changed out would probably mess up the mirror and door paint.

Looks like the seller added up his receipts and wants to get that amount back.

Never. Add. Up. The. Receipts.

Never.

Indeed. At less than 1/4 of the miles this car has, I wouldn’t pay for my car what my receipts add up to.

I’m just guessing, because I...have...not...added...up...the...receipts.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I’m probably also lying, because I would pay that amount for mine. It has a more attractive, pristine odometer.

;-D

maw

P.S. Did I miss the black interior in the photos? It looks a lot like my silver / gray car, which probably has more black in the interior than does this one.

Thread title should be edited to reflect the (now) known colors and the correct miles of 372kmi

Help the guy out Terry ! Educate him; shown him this site, show him your car, slap him up side his face too while you are there.

The .036 Gods will look kindly on you for helping this seller !!

Re: FS: 1994 E500, Silver/Grey, 372kmi, $40k (Torrance, CA)

He just reduced the price to $38,000- so seems he doesn't have an extra zero in the price. I asked him if he's looked at some of the asking/selling prices of cars with less miles

Re: FS: 1994 E500, Silver/Grey, 372kmi, $40k (Torrance, CA)

Is he related to audemars?

Sometimes you can't deal with people. They are set in their ways and won't listen to anyone. $37,000 for that. Yeesh.

 

[gsxr]

It's down to ten cents per [odometer] mile!

Holy cow that's some galactic mileage! Maybe he wants it in ZAR...

His wife must have told him to sell it.

All of you, you didn´t get it....$37K are only for side sunshades....

PS Car looks to me being dismantled and badly put together...Everywhere hanging ashtreys, sinked buttons, hood sitting wrong, front chrome is bent, back window is gone etc...

I just don't understand how this car remains unsold.

Price reduced to $33000

 

[alabbasi]

You know, I don't usually like to put a price on other peoples stuff but $40k for a car that's done 400k miles?
Clearly he loves driving it so i'm assuming that his wife wants him to sell it and he really doesn't.

 

[gsxr]

Now now... it's only $33k and 372kmi. Wouldn't this be an ideal flop for you?

If anyone wants to hit that magic 1Mkm mark, this is the car for you! Not gonna find many closer...

No, a true flopper buys them cheap and sticks a huge amount of money into them knowing that they're going to be worthless one done.
These are more up my street
