As you can see I put my money where my mouth is and actually bid on the auction to a reasonable number. You guys need to take a look at the Carfax report for this vehicle. It clearly states there is a mileage issue and it clearly states that even the previous owner reported a mileage issue. My comments on this auction were completely reasonable.June 18th, 2026 at 3:37pm ESTEMG1 (0) Seller 0Thank you so much to everyone! Bidders and watchers alike.

Always worth asking. June 18th, 2026 at 3:12pm ESTEMG1 (0) Seller 0We are on the home stretch! Good luck to all bidders. June 18th, 2026 at 3:10pm ESTEMG1 (0) Seller 1@AlexZapra8 all questions are good! The headlights and corner lights were swapped to Euro spec and we do not have the originalsJune 18th, 2026 at 2:50pm ESTAlexZapra8 (2) 0@EMG1 this might be a dumb question but do you have the orange from corner lights?June 18th, 2026 at 2:49pm EST$15,500 bid placed by @AlexZapra8June 18th, 2026 at 2:45pm EST$15,000 bid placed by @Jtwoods4June 18th, 2026 at 2:37pm ESTJtwoods4 (16) 2@VIGIL how is trying to verify mileage off putting? All of the methods you mentioned for verifying mileage are completely incorrect. Your uneducated response towards me is not appreciated. I am simply an educated buyer asking excellent questions. That is completely reasonable.June 18th, 2026 at 2:33pm ESTJtwoods4 (16) 2@OMdriver how about you stop insinuating that you know what's going on? It's clear the odometer has been swapped out as the part number on the odometer is from a different year model. We don't know why the steering wheel was covered that's why I was asking to see the condition of the steering wheel to help determine the mileage. I'm not insinuating anything I'm just an educated buyer. I'm not interested in your emotional responses I'm interested in facts.June 18th, 2026 at 2:24pm ESTEMG1 (0) Seller 0@Honeybun thank you for the question. All vacuum actuated functions work as they should. All lines and rubber connections are in great condition. Another indication as to how this car was preserved. June 18th, 2026 at 1:42pm ESTHoneybun (1) 0Is the vacuum system in good working order? Thank you.June 18th, 2026 at 1:40pm EST$10,250 bid placed by @VIGILJune 18th, 2026 at 1:40pm ESTVIGIL (17) 3The wheel is bolted in by a 10mm Allan and is easily swappable. Wonder why he’s hung up on JUST the steering wheel? It’s not like it’s fixed to the car like a chassis frame rail… There’s other things you can look at on the car to verify mileage such as the engine bay, hardware plating, undercarriage, Palomino dye wear on the Tex, pedal wear, so on and so forth. Car looks nice. I know John is a pretty respected member but his comments are kinda off putting. June 18th, 2026 at 1:39pm ESTOMdriver (7) 4@Jtwoods4 I don't have any connection to the car or seller but I'd suggest you keep from insinuating that the car has an issue. It's just as possible that the wrap was because a previous owner wanted to touch something more pleasant than the taxi-spec material on the original wheel. Moreover, it looks like those expressing concern over unwrapping the wheel care about preserving the current condition...You and I don't each other but we have crossed paths before and I know you to be a fair person. Best to refrain from calling users pretentious. I enjoy MB Market because the majority of us are respectful, understanding Mercedes-nerds who are all here for the same reasons. The seller noted that the records contain mileage notes substantiating the car's mileage...you saying it's "most likely" masking a worn out wheel is not a fair assumption. Again, I don't have a dog in the fight but I do have a vested interest in seeing these cars continue to be enjoyed by future generations. I'll stay out of the way now ;)June 18th, 2026 at 12:15pm ESTJtwoods4 (16) 0@Robertlnm instead of being pretentious maybe try listening to someone that knows what they're talking about. Removing the steering wheel wrap will allow you to see the condition of the underlying grain pattern on the steering wheel. It is clear that the gauge cluster odometer has been swapped out on this c
