Jimmy Fallon clip? I just saw Neil Young singing “OLD MAN”

Hand’s off, that’s nacho cheese!

And that, my friends, is how you should present a car in an online ad.

During the dot-com boom, around ‘96 to 2000, a bunch of silicon valley execs, start-up owners, and venture capital fund managers leased those. There are a disproportionate number on the used market in the Bay Area. You can find them on Craigslist pretty frequently. There are two W140 S600s on right now, but I don’t…

A good friend of mine has a W140--successor to your W126--and it too seems to be an unkillable monster. It’s a ‘98 S600 Presidential Edition (bulletproof 1/2 inch thick glass, armored body panels, gas attack mode). He calls it The Beast. Body is perfect (minus long gone clear-coat), but the interior has suffered from…

Best ad I ever saw for one of these was in the Albuquerque Journal classifieds (remember classifieds?) some years ago (maybe 35 of ‘em):

CANNOT SEE COMMENT THREAD BEHIND ADS!

I’ve had two of these:

Dear fnarglebipping god it’s gotten worse! I can no longer read the comments on my phone because they are covered by ads. I have to open NPoNP on my desktop to even SEE the comments, much less respond. Gaaaaahhhh!!!!!

1. Click Nice Price.

I think the seller’s in a bit of a no-man’s-land here. The car in this condition and finish is worth about $5K less than he’s asking, but he’s got way too much time, effort, money, and actually somewhat decent parts into it to warrant selling it for that little. So it is actually worth much more than it’s worth.

These weren’t terrible trucks, but they weren’t great trucks either. Pretty much pegs the meh-meter squarely in the middle (though if there were a peg in the middle, it wouldn’t work very well as a meter...).

Good catch. Both TX and FL lemon buy-back records and a current Loan/Lien record.

10-foot pole ND at this point.

I have a very good friend who is a Mercedes mechanic and collector. He came across a 2003 S600 with all the bells and whistles—adaptive cruise control, split front-rear entertainment system, etc, etc, etc. Beautiful car, but he wouldn’t sell it to me. It had trouble with the fuel rails that completely defied his…

“All you need to do then is find some children, and how hard could that be? Hell, if you live in Florida you probably have a representative in Congress who could give you some tips on how to attract them”

You beat me to it. I’ll have to add this action shot:

Patients are a virtue - medical motto

Id take the battleship grey one!

Somebody put a helluva lot of very careful work into this. But I cannot understand why!

Why not both?
