More Rims!?!?!? Grrrr, even less $'s, and I was even in Roch today too... Only thing is that I will probably be spending those $'s fixing a toyota drive shaft instead.

It is almost as if he just wants to keep it.

Its funny, I usually wonder how many Merc rims are 'hot' and figure there is almost no way to tell. The high dollar ones would indicate the guy wants to be sure nobody thinks they are hot...

Well... I emailed him to make sure it wasn't a typo and he seems set that they command $1,000.

Someone on FB just scored a set in great shape for $200. So there you go. I paid more than $200 for mine though.

Last picture is all the justification you need, a steal (suckers).

This one obviously needs Fridge panel metal, which is a game ender for most here, but otherwise it has a few interesting bits... Heater, engine from a newer model, etc. Someone should take cash, maybe half of asking and see what this guy says.

^^That 9th picture is gory. Beware to those with timid stomachs.

Gory indeed! But I guess those desperate enough will do what it takes. Price point is all that really matters, oh, and mice.

Maybe another one to take a look at... $2500 and a bit less kitchen rust... but probably needs lots of work

http://eauclaire.craigslist.org/cto/5855582120.html

Oh, so here are a pair of Tube bumpers... maybe someone thinks these are worth $400, not me, but maybe someone.

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/pts/5853882881.html

And Grrrrr! These '99 CLKs are still on the car.. $2500

the second picture is not very encouraging either. looks like it is being loaded/unloaded off a rollback wrecker.

Well, there you have it. Its a good picture to point to and say to the guy "hey, this is really going to be a LOT of work, right?. How about $500" and wave cash in his face... Amazing how much that guy probably had to pay thus far, maybe an opportunity for the right buyer. Isn't that how it works, really?

Always look to the obvious stuff as being to your advantage. It makes life so much different.

Here's a link to a Sinka Syncro for sale in Germany:

http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=...geNumber=1

Don't you hate it when lazy sellers just dump all their pictures off their phone and into an ad without doing any editing? In this case, they got 5 pictures of the front end and 5 pictures of the right rear. This is the second time this year that this Sinka has been posted for sale and no editing. Sometimes sellers post half a dozen sideways pictures. Don't they bother checking their ad and making adjustments?

rant over
