If you
want to make a deal,
pick up
the phone and talk your serious offer.

I don't respond nicely to lame emails that ask:
"What's
your reserve?"
"What's
your bottom line?"
"What's the least you'll take?"
"What's your bottom dollar?"
"Do you have a Buy-it-Now?"
"What's it take to buy it?"
"What's you asking price?"
Emailing you a figure will not happen but we can
converse about it.
It's a flippin' Auction!
That means...your
number counts...not
mine.
Oh, and by the way, if
you've sent me an email with one of the lame questions above, I'll instantly
presume you haven't taken the time to even read the content of the listing and
that you have no intention of buying at any relevant market value figure. 26
Years in the business has taught me that serious buyers read every line, look at
every picture and research well enough on their own to feel confident to make
offers.
Our presentations are
unmatched and we cater to the serious buyers.
THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN WORK YOUR DEAL IS TO CALL
ME!
My vehicles are so unique and rare that knowing what it should sell for is
nearly impossible.
That's why eBay's auctions...with serious buyers making offers...works it's
magic.

Recent high-dollar service includes new
brakes at every corner, new valve cover gasket, transmission
fluid change and spectacular detail. Engine
is dry and beautiful and the undercarriage is squeaky clean
with no leaks
. . .she even qualifies for an extended warranty if you
choose to get one.
Panel seams are tight and after you hit
the gas the first time, you'll open the hood looking for a
V6. The supercharged DOHC 2.3 liter performs
like a much larger engine . . .
Beautiful paint, solid body, showroom
fresh interior and sparkling performance comes to your
driveway with legendary reliability, having been
inspected and fully serviced at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz facility. The car starts, runs and
goes down the road with typical German precision; no
shakes, no vibrations, no bad manners . . .
Traction control, auto-dimming mirrors,
side airbags and power sun roof are just a few of the happy
amenities, reminding that you are driving an exceptionally
engineered, high quality automobile. The exceptional
quality and careful maintenance of this particular Mercedes
make it a particularly rare find . . .the only damage that
shows up on the car is just under the rear tailight where it
looks like it got bumped but not even hard enough to break
the tailight...you will be able to see a close up both in
and outside the car in that area. Not bad for the age of
this cream puff.
We sell a lot of Mercedes-Benz vehicles
and over the past decade have developed a well practiced
knack for discovering the absolute sharpest, straightest,
shiniest needle in the haystack. The ocean of
mediocrity on eBay proves how few sellers possess this skill
and our expertise is your promise of a rare condition car
that is all we claim and more. We are confident
this 1999 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor will not only meet
your high expectations, but will surprise you during the
weeks and months of new ownership with unexpected quality
and the satisfaction knowing you bought well.
Both front bucket seats are covered in
creamy Parchment leather and both are 10-way power
adjustable. Walnut trim, cold air conditioner and
interior quality you can brag to your friends about . . .
Front and side airbags, seatbelt
pre-tensioners, traction control and 4-wheel disc brakes
with ABS . . .
Just see if you can find one with this low
of miles and this good of condition.

A note from the owner.
I am a “used car dealer” but before that,
I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high
quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve
been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding
selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize
in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that
were cherished by their previous owners. I have an
experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my
preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I
have therefore, built my business and reputation around
finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.
Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict
requirements but a car must do something for me on a
personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the
bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional
vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably
won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of
business.
With just four employees and no sales
people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may
at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort
to create such an organization and often, an unusually high
investment in a particular car we are about to list. To
sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my
corner and Chris, owner of
A-Best Auto Repair
in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix
anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute
most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no
small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point
inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes
their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that
everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back
to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy
customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it
allows my writer to describe the car with ease and
confidence, something that simply is not possible unless
he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the
cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too
expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply
absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it
at auction.
After the vehicle is fully sorted it
arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious
eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see
on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else
tells him about the car as he combs over every inch,
researches its history and documents originality and
authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special
features, possible modifications and much more are used to
accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.
Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150
high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey
equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the
very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a
logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with
close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed
views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a
lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty
of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep.
Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so
meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take
several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially
prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each
car lovingly receives.
Usually, I’ll also include a high
definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If
it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4
you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will
hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system
and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser
thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many
“dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We
do.
No “dealer,” on-line or in the real
world, takes it to this level. No other seller or
organization provides you, the buyer, with so much
information. I do this because it is the only way I can
convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or
feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I
say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay
in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every
buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on
eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that
are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought
it.
If you have any questions at all, please
call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is
sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most
accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If
you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my
bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the
conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the
trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest
nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a
number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste
your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”
Serious buyers know the maximum they can
offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that
number.
If you hit the reserve, the decision is no
longer mine. I must sell at that number.
