PEACE OF MIND: Let me make this decision a little easier for you. There are several reputable Mercedes Benz Shops in town. At YOUR expense, BEFORE the auction ends, I'll put you in touch with one of them. You set-up an appointment, I drop-off and pick up the car, you get information direct from the shop, and you decide if you want to investment in this German-engineered classic.If you want to see the car in person, we can arrange to meet in a public place so we don't violate eBay rules by exchanging personal information prior to sale.SHIPPING: If you "buy now, "? shipping in an enclosed trailer within 500 miles of zip code 14606 (e.g., 349 miles to NY City) is free to you. Beyond 500 miles, if you are willing to split the cost, I know a reliable bonded/insured car carrier here in upstate that delivers cars & motorcycles door to door. A word to the wise...don't wait till the last minute; it will take a few days if you want me to make such arrangements. Foreign buyers are welcome but, I will not handle shipping to a destination outside the continental US. PAYMENT:$500 NON-REFUNDABLE PayPal deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end. Balance is payable via Bank-Certified Cashier's Check, on or before 10 business days after auction end-date. Delivery will only be scheduled after your Cashier's Check clears my bank. Please... do your research, ask questions, inspect the car yourselfor have itchecked-out before the auction ends. Needless to say, have your finances in order before you commit to buying. No warranties written, expressed or implied. No refunds. I take full responsibility for the accuracy of this description. Don't ask me to end the auction early for a"quick cash" sale. If I need tore-list,the price will go upslightly to cover my fees.Thank you for your consideration. P.S. Yes, all numbers match, the radio works and the clock keeps accurate time.
