I mean you can come and test drive the car and if you think I am asking more, then tell me there and then. This car has absolutely no problems with the engine, drives smoothly and gives the response you want from it. So, just let me know if you guys wanna come and test drive the car before you even think about buying it.

So by that logic, when I sell my car, I can factor in how much I spent in oil changes over the life of the car into the selling price? If you were smart, you'd take the $6,000 and run.
Oh and wtf is "new gears and engine accelerator?"

What the F$%^ is wrng with you guys? I graduated from NC state this semester and my education in United States is finished and done with. And by the way who and why will anyone force me to leave this country except racist people like you, who just judge people by they being American or not.
Please buzz off and MYOB!!!! Thank You OSI 5/14/2008 2:12:43 PM |

Ok.... so here is the detail of the service:
I serviced my Mercedes because when I bought it for $14000/- from an ex-NC state student who was shifting in another state, the mileage on it was already 109000 miles. And I was getting this car which is fully pimped and equipped for that less amount. So, after driving two semesters the engine check light came on for the service of the car when it reaches 100000 miles. So, I gave my car this January to the Mercedes service center on capital and the total expenditure came out to be $5890/-. Spent so much money on the car because otherwise nobody would buy it with such a intense service due. All the parts which required service were old and needed to be replaced like in any other car. So, The whole manual gear shift box was replaced with a new one, New brake pads and new discs, New crank shaft (engine accelerator), Absolutely new tires (Continental procontact 285), all the filters in the six cylinders were changed and oil was changed, the weight plate on which the shockers of the car rest on were changed cause they were old. So, in otherwords the whole is like new. I drove it after this service for the current semester and took it for a final check up day before yesterday to ensure that there aren't any defects in the car where the performance is related. And what you know there were none!!!!! Thats what I am saying, please come and take a look at the car before you make any comments. It is like new with no problems at all and after all this if you (dmidkiff & hershculez) think that I am going to sell my car for a lousy $6000 bucks. I can negotiate until i don't loose any extra money on the car. So, please make an offer that atleast I can think off!!!!

lol, that made me laugh. Seriously, that whole "description" is nothing but jibberish. Not to be an ass, but it doesn't make any technical sense at all.
Still, good price for the car.5/14/2008 3:49:18 PM |

By engine accelerator, I mean the crank shaft and the crank sensor that is inbuilt in the engine helps tell the fuel injector what amount of fuel to pump in when you push the accelerator. that all!!!!! 5/14/2008 3:57:45 PM |

He was just asking why you were going back to India, chill the fuck out. Nobody's making any racist comments here. Also, nobody's going to buy your car if you present yourself as a neurotic jerk with a temper.
That being said, it looks like a nice car. I hope you advertised it on some other websites besides TWW because you won't get $10k off here. Craigslist will probably get you more offers, but a lot of those will be lowball offers as well. Still, having it priced below the trade-in value will definitely get more people willing to pay cash on a moment's notice.
If worse comes to worse you could give your car to carmax for less than you're asking (but more than nothing), I guess.5/14/2008 4:05:05 PM |

He can read, you're just not clear.
For Example,
You bought the car at 109,000 miles and then the 100,000 mile check up light came on 2-semesters later, despite already being well over 100,000 miles. 5/14/2008 4:37:03 PM |

This is most true, and believe me, Wolfwebbers try their goddamm-dest to tilt you to no end so you do look like some mook fuck. Best advice is to ignore it, never respond to ANYTHING but a serious legitimate post. Even if someone cracks a joke and you reply with "LOL" you are taking a risk of getting flamed over it. It sucks.
That being said, I showed your ad to a friend of mine who's in the car business. He says this car is worth 8k, and if you get a serious offer for that, you should take it.
Unfortunately I cannot buy it. Sorry. Good Luck5/14/2008 5:01:35 PM |
