Bought a 87 300D 200 miles away. Communicatied to the seller through E-bay for a record over what I expected and took a CHANCE with my time and expense. The car had some faults that happended after the listing, and the seller and I worked out a cash diffrence[ both happy ]
Make sure you have documentation from the seller what you expect/ best go look at it. If the seller is a car dealer or bussiness and they fraudly list it you have grounds to go after them[ hassel ]
