I bought this car in 2012 when it was 2 months old through a (former) friend of mine of 22 years that got into the business of buying flood cars soon after hurricane sandy came along. And since on this particular car he didn't know what he was doing contrary to his adamant statements that he did, or he knew what he was doing and he was purposely screwing me by making a deal with the guy for which he was the middle man. Either way I got stuck with a car that from the very start was not restorable by me. And now you all know why he is a (former) friend. Did I mention I paid 25k? On his recomendations I was to dry the car and try to get it running. This is when I found out the true level the water reached not (just up to the bottom of the doors as I was told) and also realized the extent of the electronic damage. Upon finding these facts I told this guy It'll take at least ten thousand dollars or more to replace the electronic parts alone. Someone who's not involved in something devious would have immediately said let's bring this back to the seller, he lied to us. But instead he kept telling me I'd get my money back, lets see if we can get it running. I think he said that about 10 times over the next year of stalling tactics. Long story short. Over the years of our friendship I was indoctrinated by this fellow to take his word when it came to cars and not question it. so naturally when I came into inheritance and it came time to invest in a more lucrative restoration, as before, I asked for his help and took him (AT HIS WORD). It took me that first years time to learn that a wet Mercedes is like parking kryptonite next to superman. Dead and not fixable by me from the very start. Between then and now I was in mourning for my bottom line and my loss of a friend and didn't want to deal with it. Now that you know why I have this car. I'll explain some more items. Nothing but the dash works, that is, only the dash as seen through the steering wheel. As you know the car does not roll so will have to be flatbedded. The car is located at Bud Lake NJ. I am the second owner. Buyer must pick up the car themselves. I accept paypal. On May-15-16 at 08:03:37 PDT, seller added the following information:
