I'm selling my "3rd car", a Astral Silver 1987 Mercedes 190E Cosworth because of a pending move out of state. In addition to this Mercedes I'm selling my other "3rd car" as well as my daily driver, a 1991 BMW 850i 6-Speed and 2006 Volvo V70R 6-Speed. I welcome calls and texts to (626) 219-0269. We live in Marietta, GA, a suburb just north of Atlanta. The Cosworth currently has 183,000 miles on it (showing 294,000 KM) and is in very good running and driving condition. The title is clean, clear, and in my name. I purchased it off of eBay from a repair shop and do not have a complete set of repair receipts or records. I do not know for sure how many owners it has had. I have one keys that fits all locks and ignition, all owner's manuals, and some accessories. There is an aftermarket HD radio with bluetooth reciever present that works well; I also have the stock radio with extra wiring harness. The tires are in good condition and there are some areas of expected wear, outlined in the condition notes, below. There are no warning lights or alerts and it has a passing emissions certificate that I'll include to the new owner. I do not have to top off fluids and it does not leak fluid on the ground. The AC is R12 and does not blow cold though the compressor engages; there is very little pressure from refrigerant. The heat is hot and the HVAC system vent positions and blower are responsive. Features Heated seats 5-speed manual 'dogleg' transmission Instrument cluster is metric; odometer shows in KM; temperature gauge shows in Celsius.

I'm flexible regarding these terms if contacted before the auction ends, and welcome calls or texts to my Google Voice number, (626) 219-0269 If you show up to pick up the vehicle and for any reason you don't want to carry through then you don't have to buy it. I'll refund your deposit on the spot, minus the amount of eBay fees. I am NOT a dealer. There are NO FEES. The price you bid is the price you pay. I have the title in my name and in my hands, ready to hand to you when you pay. The PayPal deposit is $200 and must be paid within 24 hours of the end of the auction. The deposit amount is credited towards the total purchase price. If you fail to send a $200 deposit via PayPal within 24 hours I'll relist the vehicle and you'll lose your chance to win it. I won't accept PayPal payment other than the $200 deposit. The balance of the purchase price (minus the $200 deposit) is due within 14 days UNLESS you we work out an alternative timeline BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS. I'm flexible; the more communication the better. I give two weeks because if you're traveling to come pick up the vehicle that gives you a chance to get a cheap flight and schedule your trip time. If you pay a deposit but do not pay the balance within 14 days I'll relist the vehicle and you'll lose your chance to win it. I'm flexible; the more communication the better. Please, no dealers or curbstoners. I will not fill out a title with a purchase price of less than you paid. I will be putting the buyer's name and purchase date on the title. It is OK if you're using a bank loan to purchase the vehicle; however, have funding and preapproval in place BEFORE bidding or making an offer. Not being able to get a loan AFTER the auction ends is not a good excuse. If you're showing up in person we will be doing the sale transaction at my bank so that cash, check, or loan funds can be verified. You will need to be around during bank business hours so please plan your trip accordingly. I'm happy to help with meeting the shipper(s) if you plan to have it shipped. However, you are responsible for setting up and paying for shipping. The balance must be paid in full before I release the vehicle to a shipper. I will not negotiate after the auction. I'm not interested in trades. This is a purchase-only auction. I do not provide financing. I'll provide a standardized, non-notarized bill of sale from the state of Georgia. If your state requires additional documentation, such as a notarized bill of sale, please let me know and I'll provide it to you at no cost to you. The vehicle will come with a recent (within the last two weeks) passing emissions certificate. If you're local and within the Georgia clean air zones you can use this for registration. I welcome local inspections before the auction ends. I live within convenient driving distance of dealers and independent mechanics. I can recommend one or you can find your own. When searching use the cross streets of Lower Roswell Rd and Johnson Ferry Rd in Marietta, GA 30068. You are responsible for any inspection costs to the local mechanic; however, there are no fees from me to drop the car off to have it checked out. Do not ASSUME any details about the vehicle. If something is not listed or you have a question, don't be shy. I welcome calls and texts! All vehicles are subject to local sale. Until a deposit is received from the winning bidder it is subject to local sale, thus voiding the auction. If a vehicle sells locally and eBay allows me to end the auction early, I'll do it. Note that within the final 24 hours eBay does not allow an auction to end early; however, until a deposit is received it is still subject to local sale and the auction is void if it sells locally before a deposit is received. Once a deposit is received it will no longer be for sale locally. If picking up the vehicle in person I'm happy to pick you up from the rental vehicle drop-off location, Atlanta airport, AmTrak station, or bus station. There is no fee from me to do this. I'll also make sure the vehicle has a full tank of gas, tires are properly inflated, and it's ready for a driving trip back. In other words, I'll treat you like a person and how I'd expect to be treated if I were buying a vehicle on eBay. I'm not a dealer. I can't provide a temporary license tag. My state of GA tag will stay with me in GA and is not included with the vehicle. Please do your research to stay legal when driving back home, especially if through or across state lines as each state may have different rules. I will provide you with the title and a bill of sale. Bids may be cancelled by me at any time for any reason. This is to discourage zero-feedback bidders or similar fraudulent bidders from inflating bids. I might end the auction early if the reserve is not met, and if you're the highest bidder you may win the vehicle. Keep this is mind when bidding, and please bid seriously, expecting to win.
