The "Interesting Cars Found on eBay" thread

C110s have almost no following in the US. Plus it's hopelessly stuck behind the C10 in terms of desireability. For example, just today, my AC maintenance guy came in to the shop and went straight past the Italian stuff and the c110 and stopped right in front of the C10 Hako. He said he had no idea what it was, just that he wanted one. Funny enough, his reaction is fairly typical of American visitors I've had of late.

 

I love this car. I wonder how much it will bring. I suppose it is not quite in the same league as a Arnolt Bristol though.

 

Here's an oddity.

Twenty 2008 Mercedes E-classes for $620k. It's actually a massive deal if you could re-sell them all.

Love the pictures, all the same shot with a different angle.. haha

 

not really, that would average $31k per car, retail is only $35k. Factor in risk, cost of capital, transaction and transport costs, you could make a bit of money (maybe keep a "free" E-class for yourself) but not a tremendous upside.

would make a great sedan service or high-end taxi fleet, or loaner car fleet for a luxury car dealer.

anyone know the story? did a dealer go out of business, bank repo a floorplan, etc?

 

Retail on a two-year-old E-class is only $35k?! My god!!!

 

If you bought this, I would guess the chances of another parking next to you would be nil.

Those are sweet, but I sware there is a black on in my neighborhood.

 

Cool truck. I imported a black one in 05 and should have never sold it and you are correct, I never had another parked next to me!

Does that thing have EPA/DOT? If so, it's impressive! How come there's only one Tuscan in the US then? Are they openely BSing about the Travolta ownership?

 

Because, the DOT seeks to keep ugly cars out of the country?

A310,I still have a soft spot for that car (had one in 1980):

Great write up by the owner! I never knew they officially imported the Vitesse.

 

"Cute" and "truck" don't normally go together...
