Pagoda on uk eBay
« on: November 23, 2013, 16:03:54 »
eBay item no 131037285382

If the description is accurate and honest, this car may be a reasonable purchase. It seems like the seller is prepared to negotiate.

I'd agree, looks very usable for the money

EDIT … also a nice original Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagoda 1965-67 UK Market Sales Brochure …. a bit pricy at 90 Pounds … that what is not pricey on our cars :)

That seller of the floor panels is asking £100 more than they are available from SLS for!

I know Colin, one needs to be extra careful when ordering parts for our cars.

Case in point …. I lost my chrome ring around the ignission

Ordered one (not knowing the difference) paid $49- plus $10- for shipping. when I got it it was a used one all pitted.

Next when I ordered some parts from the Classic Centre I was talking to Tom H. and mentioned it he sold me one for $17.50 brand new.

Yes one has to make sure before placing an order.

Stick,

I also noted that often people are trying to sell things on eBay that not only are cheaper at SLS but also at MB, which is quite amazing.
Once more, internet is a great source for quickly comparing various suppliers, but you often buy emotionally. People love tenders and competition that offers this unique thrill of the last moment bidding and sentiment of winning the race... ;)
