Yes, I went to Frankfurt to see that car, because it's the clone of mine!trabitom99 wrote:Yup, that's it! Aymat went to have a look at it before the bidding ended and wasn't impressed ...

But mine has no sunroof... I was also impressed by the pictures, but the reality was....... different. I expected big problems under the bodykit, and I was right.
I've made a list of the good d bad point about that car before the end of the auction, it helped me a lot to take the right decision: that car wasn't worth buying, far too rusted!
Here is a copy of that list. The + points:
Working electric mirrors (the seller forgot that on Ebay) but strange older switches
Working electric windows
Heated seats (not tested but the wires under the seat are definitely there)
Bodykit in good condition, not broken
Haas tuning kit (lowered suspension, mentioned on the Fahrzeugbrief)
Sunroof not rotten but doesn't close properly. Lot of condensation inside the plate, can become fatal if not fixed quickly!
Headlights wipers
The - points:
Lot of rust behind the bodykit, the car is not "Rostfrei" at all as the seller says... Answer of the seller: "I have no bridge to see that"
)) I like that kind of answer from "professionnal" sellers... The 2 sills are completely rotten/holes, black paint used to hide it
Front valance seriously rusted, black paint used to hide it
Front left wing behind kit rotten, rusted part gone!
Rust on right corner windscreen
Rust arround the rear aerial socket (rear wing left)
Rusted plate under the car, near the exhaust
The 2 doors on the right have been badly resprayed (reason unknown), faded red on these doors
Both bumpers badly adjusted, broken lateral fixing, very strange position for the front one (accident?)
Broken foglight
)
with the 195/50 tyres and the Momo sports steering wheel are on it.
but I guess there's another happy 300 owner with that around here somewhere (or someone else doesn't know what he bought) ...
That's the second German 300 owner I've forwarded it on to ...
