I know I have the wrong group here, but I will entertain you anyway.
These cars have been selling for $500,000-$650,000 in the secondary
market. Obviously only one of you understood what "never been titled"
meant.
I sell cars for a living, I work for a dealership that has the car in
it's inventory. It is an oppurtunity for someone of means to buy this
car at the price it was intended to be sold for by the manufacturer,
instead of overpaying.
Probably, someone who could afford this car wouldn't waste his time in
a group that talks about the fact that the sunroof in their 1986 300D
doesn't work right. lol

The sales reps at MB dealerships are generally a cut above the
stereotyped slickster in a loud jacket and white shoes... But then,
how would you know that...?

Hey, come on now, be more understanding, the guy didn't hit-and-run, he did post a relevant item to a relevant newsgroup.

That's fine but when there were no takers he showed the typical car
salesman attitude by slapping us in the face after there was a no
sale!!! Personally I despise automobile salesmen and thought maybe he
could use a slice of humble pie.

ha! good one!! Though the sunroof works quite fine in my 1981 300D :-)
What kind of trade in value can I get on the SLR for my 1981 300D? Is my car worth at least a SLR door handle? ROFL!!!

Now I am puzzled...... if you work at a dealership that has the SLR and it has never been titled, I
can only assume that you work as a salesman at a Merceds-Benz dealership. Correct so far?
If yes, then when was the last and ONLY time you ever saw a USA 1986 300D?
In the USA, the 300D was brought in as a 123 body in 1985. This was the last year of the 123 body in
the USA. In 1985, US sales were 17,754 cars.
The 123 was replaced in 1986 by the 124 body. BUT a diesel was NEVER offered in the USA. It was not
until 1987 that the 300D was offered and it was only for one year, 1987. 9,293 cars were sold.
Now if you deal in grey market cars, I don't have a clue as to what you are selling. But right now
you sound like a fertilizer salesman with a mouthful of your own product.

Sheesh, I can't imagine why someone hasn't snapped up this super duper
deal then.

Overpaying? Your joking right?

I guess they would probably also be too dumb to figure out how to post
here or read this.

No need to be sarcastice. No one solicited the car from you. You should
have indicated in your first post that you work for a dealership. That
would have avoided the many questions which were asked.
It is logical and reasonable for people to be curious about someone with
such and expensive, and is offering it online, and further indicating
that it was never titled.

especially since the SLR is supposed
to be sold out well in advance. Is it
possible that the person who ordered it
decided to stick the dealer with it?
That was the question to ask.
Still, I would happily help him out if he could
work out the financing...., although now
I want the 2006......
