Default C4S For Sale - NOT MINE!

I was browsing through some used car dealer sites and found this: http://www.stareuropean.com/details.php?auto_id=510

Haven't done business with those guys so I don't know their reputation but judging by the photos the car seems to be in good shape and the price is more than fair. Looks like some suspension work has been done to it already.

My favorite part of their discription is:

Odometer Shows 81,294 Miles (Not Actual Miles)

Would that imply that this car actually only has 17,000 miles?

Great price for a c4s. I have never seen one so inexpensive.

It seems like a decent C4S but that is not the kind of price I like to see as mine is very similar except more optioned. Should sell quicker than most.

Saw that car at Riverside Manheim Highline auction couple weeks back. Looked pretty nice, but I knew nothing about it. Had "Road Sport" dealer paper plates on it. I noticed it and a very nice MB e320 cab parked not too far from it with the same Road Sport paper plates.

The Orange County dealer who bought and is selling the 993 also bought the blue e320.

I was there after the sales had closed (picking up a BMW with a buddy who has dealer license) so I don't know what it went for. I suppose I could look it up if someone was really that curious.

I was curious as to the fate of the Road Sport dealership, checked his website when I got home and he had no inventory. I guess he went BK.

I'm casually following the MB e320 because I really want a '95 e320 cab.

Seems like a decent price...but without a PPI no way to tell...that NAM would be a hard sell without the truthful story behind it....toss in a major service, clutch and the little things...you're into a $33K-$35K car.

Default c4s

Talked to the dealer he said he sold it to someone in the EU for 28K.
Has not received the funds yet. I'm thinking about selling mine so the low price shocked me a little bit, but as it said above if the car needs some work will probably end up costing 36-37 depending what needs to be done.

Don't feel too bad, that car had some funny history to it, uncertain miles and some prior repainted front end if I recall.

I inquired on this car as well. Had accident damage (front end supposedly), the mileage issue and had absolutely no service history. Other than that ... a very nice car.

The dealer web site states "sold site unseen to Budapest, Hungary"
