This is one of the most infuriating lines that seems to be in ads for every "nice" car. The easiest way to tell if a car has been taken care of (aside from just looking at it) is to drive it a bit, and always at least up to highway speeds. I once went out to look at an e30 318is and the guy wouldn't let me drive it, he would only offer to take me for a ride. It's not like I showed up and asked to drive it either, we talked about the car and I got a little bit of the history first.

Ok this might be a good deal. The body looks good and the interior looks decent. I do have a fancy test tool now (ok cheapy HF Automotive Fuse circuit tester). It looks like it could be an easy fix though, usually something stupid.

I know exactly how to fix a phantom battery drain. Fit a battery disconnect knob to it and turn it off after driving it. A month later, start to forget to turn off battery at night. Another month later, notice that your clock has not re-set it's self to 12 in awhile and will now keep time. MAGICAL.

You can just get them deactivated if they're not already. It wouldn't be easy, but probably the least of your problems with a rocket powered glider that sheds it's landing gear on takeoff holy gently caress!

You pilots strut in with your Tom Cruise shenanigans and want to drive the cars that we're trying to put on Craigslist for sale.

I forgot to put "NO TEST PILOTS" when I was selling a 1982 Tercel that had come into my possession as an artefact of a long-held grudge with the local high school principal. I got an email that seemed to come from an accomplished professional, although he punctuated every sentence with "to the max" or "feel the Gs." I thought this odd.

He arrived an hour late wearing aviator sunglasses, toothpick clutched in his teeth and walking with his helmet under the crook of his arm. I too thought this odd, but having recently gone to workplace sensitivity training I presumed it might be some sort of recent offshoot of Mormonism and handed him the keys.

I can't go back to Seattle. The DA defined the arrest warrant as "thick, yet full-bodied."

I recently purchased the car, Someone accidentally ruined the transmission changing a flat. I am asking 600$ because i have put so much work into the car i would hate to let it go for less but i am willing to negotiate, the money is going towards a new car. If you are interested please let me know as soon as possible. You may even purchase the car to fix and sell. I am mostly trying to scrap it. You may do what you please with it.
New Motor 43K miles on the motor.

Well I sure am glad that if I purchased that fine machine I would be allowed to do whatever I wanted with it. I'm sick of these previous owners hunting me down and telling me what to do with the car.

There's just no way this '78 280ce isn't riddled with rust. Otherwise it could be worth dumping money into because of its groovy Icon Gold paint color, 185hp six and uber-rare 5-speed. Even more so if it has crank windows and no sunroof.

More on groovy 70's paint colors; Let's say it's 1979-1980 and you're ordering a Benz. How many different shades of green paint can you get from the factory? 13 :allears:

$1500 OBO -- Mercedes 1978 280 CE, rare European model -- not an import -- brought to US by an acquaintance of mine about 12 years ago. Needs some work (maybe a coil?). This is a FUN car to drive!

Gas engine, 5-speed manual, unknown mileage (OD does not work, but on a car like this, miles aren't the issue). New tires, new battery, new alternator (those things total over $2000!). The car has a "factory-style" air-conditioner that was added by my friend who brought the car over, but it's basically useless (unless you can make it work better). Blaupunkt stereo, but needs new speakers.

Needs a little body work and paint. Note front spoiler. Interior is in fair condition (better than most cars of this age, for sure).
