looks like Yahoo Auctions also still has a going, going, gone option available for the seller to select at the time they set up their auction,... but note that they haven't had anywhere near the success that eBay has. as for eBay, there's nothing about it that keeps people from bidding the maximum they're willing to pay! unfortunately, some people seem to not realize and/or be able to commit to how much they'll pay until they see someone else willing to pay more, or they get so caught up in the 'need to win' that they'll keep pushing the price up as they see how much others value the item. until that changes (and being about some humans nature, it probably never will!), i'll figure out what my personal maximum bid is, and make it as a last-minute snipe. cheers! e Mitch Haley wrote: Allan Streib wrote: I think ebay ought to not have fixed expiration times.

Donald, Make sure the car is EXACTLY as you stated in the listing. Even better condition than listed. For some reason the sellers I have dealt with on eBay are less than honest about their product and get bad feedback. Give it a quick wash and vac before delivery. Make sure fluids are up, wheels aired, and everything you said is working. Payment is best if it is cash or you and the buyer take his cashiers cheque to the bank together. Let him know that is the plan. It has a better chance of being real if he knows the bank will process it in front of him.

Buy stuff to get a few feedbacks that are positive.Pay quickly and make no waves at first. Once you have 100% score and more than ten feedback, nobody really checks. Take good photos in good light. Describe the article fully. Know exactly what you are selling and all the background.

Re: [MBZ] E63
Arroz = rice in Espanol. The espanol speakers around here drive around in old piece-of-sh** (POS) ricers (mostly Civics and Accords), hence arrozers, that they tart up with all manner of useless both cheap and expensive crap in an effort to make them faster or more attractive to their street-cred (credibility) buddies (loosely, vatos) or their chicas (women, and I espand the bounds and use the term in the most age-inclusive way). The cheapest performance enhancer you can buy is a $1.98 R sticker, which I guess refers to some designation of those sportier Acuras or something, or maybe means racing. You can get some orange reflective tape from the job site, putting some of that on the bumpers and doors in some kind of design appears to be performance-enhancing as well. The next thing up the expense list is a loud farty coffee can muffler that hangs down under the rear bumper. That will either hit something or bounce loose from the coat hanger you use to hold it in place, or both. Then you gotta go for black window tint, some blue LED lights here and there, an A-pillar 3-gauge holder, a huge tachometer with gaudy yellow lights, and up there in cost are tires/wheels, lowering kit, body cladding (painted yellow), bright metallic paint, and then maybe engine mods if it hasn't blown up yet. In there somewhere is a really loud ear-busting stereo that sounds like it is playing from the bottom of an old garbage can (which, I guess it is), and put mariachi or some other kind of Mex music on. Make sure you play it while cruising through the apartment parking lot at 3AM, and particularly when you drive back to your village in Mexico for the holidays (selection of the proper tune with which to make your entrance takes considerable time, discussion, and effort). But now the sportier cars seem to have the S designation, so you gotta get one of those stickers first. This is life in Houston, Norte Mexico. --R Chuck Landenberger wrote: Rich, I'm too old to learn a new language.. Can you interpret, please!

Re: [MBZ] Ebay selling advice
There was a 1996 Porsche 911 Cabriolet for sale recently - asking $20k when it was easily worth $30k-$45k depending on several things - the odd thing was the seller said the car was in Italy but would be shipped as part of the deal once the deposit of $1000 was made. He said he'd airfreight to a port close to me and at that point I could complete the deal or decline. He had a explanation of taking a transfer to Italy and shipping his 911 then discovering a high tax/registration fee which suppossedly forced him to sell. Hard to believe he wouldn't get a feel for these things before shipping it. However, he obviously had no plans to even go through with the sale - it became obvious that he was trying to get deposits and then disappear. When I said I had a friend who could come to Italy to look at the car and finalize the deal for me the seller stopped responding to my emails. ;-) They have a million scams - Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs Porsche Road Test http://members.rennlist.com/roadtest/ . - Original Message - From: John M McIntosh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 6:49 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Ebay selling advice On Apr 25, 2007, at 3:26 PM, LarryT wrote: The scam is offering a cashiers check or money order for over the price is often done in the mail - you get the check, depoist it and are asked to mail the extra to their shipping agent.

Re: [MBZ] Winterized fuel in WA state?
Yes, I was going to ask whether B99 capability in colder weather is model-dependent. Perhaps my 123 would fall somewhere between you two in B99 handling? That's another question though. I'm disappointed to learn that for about half the year I'll have to endure the decreased fuel efficiency of winterized fuel. And Clay, are the rubber bits just your fuel lines, or are they from the IP itself? I have no problem switching to Zyton lines (do I remember the name right?), but if Bio is going to hurt the IP, I'll probably think about it a lot longer.

Re: [MBZ] Winterized fuel in WA state?
I have not had issue with the IP internal seals in Gump. The E D had the issue and was a pig to deal with since it is all hidden under other things and needs special tools. Gump is wide open and you can see what is leaking and fix it right off. I change out the return lines when a leak occurs or weeping. The fuel lines from the tank got replaced once, but were original to the car, so Viton lines and O-rings were installed in the E D, so no more issues foreseen there. The rubber at the filler though is being dissolved. I have not had that issue with Gump. Maybe I am just better at filling the tank than SWMBA. Something you pick up at the urinal?

We didn't have any problems running the same combo in the 617 either. A 615 and 617 aren't that much different. Never gelled, at all.

Re: [MBZ] Winterized fuel in WA state?
Oh, it was not all at the same time. There were a number of trips in to deal with a multitude of leaks. We thought we had traced and killed the trouble each time, but gremlins were at work and like a dutch dike, once you plug one hole, another sprouted. Finally got them all tracked and slain. Trouble was that each time you engaged the same process to tear it down and shop time rung up.

[MBZ] French Diesel
Hi, Curt et al. My aunt had a 504 SW (gas) that she adored, and I thought that it was ok with its long-legged suspension and strange shift pattern. I subsequently looked at a new 505 SW diesel and was not too impressed. Old push-rod style engine about 100 hp and not too fast, though economical, 30mpg plus, as I remember. Best thing about it was the Bosch injection. The 604,5,6 were aimed at the upper segment of the market, so they were fancier than most other Peugeot cars. If it is rust free and the engine trans are good, they can be economical fun to drive, a la 2.2 190D. Some of the gas engines from that era had soft cams and seized the oil pump relief valves and other expensive bits. YMMV Fred Moir Lynn MA - Ahhh...imagining that irresistible new car smell?

Re: [MBZ] Frenchie diesel?
The 604 is one of the least attractive, most pedestrian Pugs ever produced. It has the added distinction of being part of the reason for Citroen's departure from our shores: apparently Peugeot (which bought Citroen in 1975) felt that the stunning new Citroen CX would threaten the pending 604's success in North America. The 604 does not have the durability of the 504, nor the timeless lines of the 505. It's just a big ugly (usually rusty) box, IMHO. The big thing with those diesels (which CAN go forever if properly cared-for) is to watch for head gasket problems, especially on the turbos in the 505s. There's also a tendency for oil leaks from the injection pump, depending on which pump it has. Pug parts aren't very hard to get. Visit http://www.peugeotholm.com/ for more info. D.

Re: [MBZ] Frenchie diesel?
I've seen a few 504's go up for sale on craigslist from time to time, and I've thought about purchasing one. Some say that the 504 is ugly, but I prefer to call it slightly different. While growing up, there was a neighbor a few houses down who had 4 504's, 3 being Diesels. He and his wife had a '78 and a 79, both Diesel auto sedans, and two 76's, a Diesel wagon and a gasser sedan which had manny trannies. Their daughter drove a 505 Diesel manny tranny that was purchased later. The interiors don't hold up as well as MB's though. Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1983 300SD 267K miles, Ursula

Re: [MBZ] Frenchie diesel?
Traditionally, there was always a BIG quality step from Renault up to any other French car. Worse still were the US-built Renaults, which were equipped with baroque AMC interiors and poorly tested equipment specific to the US-market. Even in France, the state-owned Renault's products were long known for their crummy quality -- until recently. They are the GM of France. Having owned and driven Peugeots, Citroens, and Renaults of varying vintage, the Renaults were always pedestrian and poorly built in comparison. Engines were usually pretty good (except when the product of joint development, e.g. the Alliance engines, which were done with Volvo) but everything around them was crap. Peugeot was the boring man's Citroen. Very bourgeois, very understated, but usually very durable and with that timeless Pininfarina styling (205, 306, 405, 406, 504, 505, 605 etc). Citroens were top-of-the-line, but often either bizarre at the high end (DS) or ridiculously simple (2CV), both extremes bearing unconventional engineering solutions from a company that encouraged innovation. The Renaults of the last 5-7 years are MUCH better (and this isn't easy for a Citroen man to admit), with great interiors and excellent fit finish throughout. And if you're wondering about recent improvements at Nissan, look no further than Renault's influence for the explanation. The French car industry went through its lowest ebb in the 1980s and 1990s. Their current products, no matter which company, are generally very good. In fact, in diesel technology they've often lead the world. D.

[MBZ] M103 oil filter location?
Hi Everyone, Going to do the oil on the new to me 300E this weekend. Has a M103 engine. I'm going to do the first change from the bottom as I haven't had any luck locating a vacuum pump yet to allow me to do it from the top. I also want to take off the sound shield and give it a good clean. So, two questions, Where is the oil filter located, and, What should I torque the bolt in the pan too? Oh, if you know the size (mm), that's great too. I'm going with the 20W/50 for this change Larry. Let you know how it goes. Thanks everyone, Ed 300E
