I don't recall ever seeing a 280C in silver, nor dash wood in such pristine
condition.  Mileage is suspect, but I expect bids will vault to $30 K
before all is said and done.

I agree with Dwight. If it’s something you think you really want, determine a 
price you’re willing to pay and bid up to that. Who knows, you might end up 
with a new (to you) car.

No recourse, sold as-is, where-is. It’s in the terms. They are just the service 
that brings the parties together, the deal is ultimately between seller and 
buyer. They have no exposure.

That being said, there have been some real sh*tshows where they’ve discreetly 
gotten involved, but exactly how, I don’t know.

The weird dude that bought my 300D on BAT had a buyer ghost him and BAT ended 
up giving him the contact information for the next highest two bidders. I don’t 
recall if he was able to sell to one of them or not, but he said it took them a 
week before they finally capitulated and agreed the buyer wasn’t going to 
follow through.

And why would they care? They get their money the second the hammer falls.

I did not suggest that BaT sold good cars or stood behind them in any 
way. Some are obviously better than others.
They are however a source of classic cars that may be difficult to find 
which makes them a pretty easy way to watch for something that you like 
or want.

Re: [MBZ] Serious MB lust

2022-05-18 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes

My advice, for what it is worth, is to forget the car.
Enjoy looking at one if you see it on the street or at a car show but 
don't buy it unless you have the financial resources such that you can 
toss that much money away. There is no guarantee it will appreciate and 
you won't be happy if you end up selling it at a loss.
You will need a place to keep it whether you drive it or not. It will 
deteriorate to some extent whether you drive it or not.
You have a nostalgic whim to acquire it but it truly does not make a lot 
of sense.

Well, they are rust magnets.  So look for that.  Also, carb troubles can be an 
issue,
but it's been Weber-ized.  The only thing I really didn't like was "Lowering 
springs".
Yeah, "Me and my JC Whitney catalog is LOTS smarter than DBAG."  Surprised
there's not a K filter on it...

It's odd that the battery is on the opposite side of our (roof-less) W114 coupe.
Dunno if that's a M110 thing (ours is M130) or what.

Normally, I would think, that’s crazy it’s too much money.  But, the seller did 
A LOT of work on it and it looks great.  I’m also going to be receiving an 
inheritance this summer.

Any danger signs anyone sees on this?  Maybe I need to be talked down from the 
ledge.

You need to be pushed towards the ledge. They're not making any of these
