At most sales like this, auctions, and the charity auction things they are usually frequented by people who know nothing about mb and they bid up the thing they are with all these 10s of thousands of dollars and they are not, so they think they get a good deal. I saw a 82 300sd with a bad

This is definitely mold and not dust. Notice the mold on the "sides" of the seats, dust would not hang there. Also, why say less than 110K when the speedo shows 112K + miles? It's probably been stored under a tarp or cover that caused it to collect moisture and thus the mold. It is humid here

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

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

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
