Probably happening today. Meeting at 2:30. Real Old Man. Real 1 Owner. OC Cali Car. Carfax confirmed this dude was oversold at the MB Dealer from cradle to grave. Not sure how wrong I can go for $6500. If my millenial kid doesn't take care of this/learn to respect equipment under my tutelage, I am selling it and buying a ticket on the Orient Express.

Check for transmission maintenance records, should have been done at 40k miles

I have a few red flags about it.
1. Appartement complex in background popular with overextended millennials and not old folk
2. Can’t spell the name of the “sound system”
3. Strange pricing that reads like a used car dealer
4. Front seat set for a small person if this was a grandpa maybe he is small but it is sus
5. Blurred plates as mentioned ... usually old folk not good enough to take decent pics let alone blur them out
6. The way that phone # was listed it is someone that uses CL in a prolific manner

She's a bit of an old soul. She was happy to hear that it was a smaller version of my ex bil's epic 98' S320 LWB, which was about as long as a crew cab pickup.Detroit wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 10:29 amInteresting.

3. I think he had help with the ad.
4. Will report on his linebacker status
5. Max, people are still going to be blurring out plates long after you have launched a voter initiative to outlaw
the practice. That's because it you reveal the plates, the Mossad WILL track you down and kill you.
6. Dunno about that.
Unlike the flaky lady with the bimmer, this guy's text stream was 10/10 deal maker, said "we might have to go to a bank" to do the deal, I told him I would have cash to complete the transaction.
Transmission service completed at Anaheim MB @ 37,398. Anaheim MB rang this guy up for every recommended service and some that weren't from date of purchase to the last inspection on 8/31/2018.
This deal is 99% happening unless it gets sold out from under me.

If transmission was done this should be a solid buy. As they go to anal pound town for this type of deal, and if they didn’t flinch there they didn’t flinch elsewhere.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 11:41 am1.

A little further south and we'd have a potentially easy up while you grab the car.
