White coating is probably dust.. I stored my 111 coupe in a friend's garage where they were doing construction that involved wrecking concrete. Despite it being under a cover the car was choked with dust everywhere. On Sat, Feb 20, 2016 at 2:43 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes <

I suspect no one is hiding anything, they’re just not well educated about it. Right along with the “bulletproof glass” statements you see about the W140 laminated glass. Dan > On Feb 20, 2016, at 2:25 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > I don't like the

I don't like the looks of this car. If they get the year wrong what else are they hiding? On Sat, Feb 20, 2016 at 1:14 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I would be all over it if I was closer or had a way to buy it and go get > it. Do they have online bidding

I would be all over it if I was closer or had a way to buy it and go get it. Do they have online bidding or anything like that? Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 20, 2016, at 11:43 AM, Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes > wrote: > > Its an 86 or 87. > > People are generally

Re: [MBZ] 300SDL in Atlanta

They all differ. Most common seems to be just make an offer and they take it. Its essentially a garage/yard sale. Some sales take bids on paper and sell to the highest at the end. I lost a 1996 Saab 2 stroke by about $50 with this process once: Very frustrating. I'd contact the sale people

Re: [MBZ] 300SDL in Atlanta

How does this sale work? do they have prices on stuff, is it an auction or what? --R On 2/20/16 11:43 AM, Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes wrote: Its an 86 or 87. People are generally terrified of cars that have sat. Especially if they have mold inside like this one. I think it can be easily

Re: [MBZ] 300SDL in Atlanta

This car appears to be covered in mold which is not good for the interior or the exterior underneath. Also, I thought the SDL was only made in 86 and 87 in the 300, then it went to the 350 later. Seems like there are unanswered questions about this car. If it's really badged correctly, then

Re: [MBZ] 300SDL in Atlanta

Its an 86 or 87. People are generally terrified of cars that have sat. Especially if they have mold inside like this one. I think it can be easily saved. Only 100k miles! Jaime On Sat, Feb 20, 2016 at 10:29 AM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: > On Sat, 20 Feb 2016
