Bargains still available on eBay

[Michel]

I just managed to snap up two items (I believe) on the cheap from US eBay.

Nicely done Michel

You certainly got them nice and cheap, did you have to sniper?

 

[Michel]

Not at all....

I actually put seriously high bids and never was challenged..

 

[Des]

Good deals there,

You wouldn't have got the manual that cheap from MB new

R U kidding?

I've had one on back order for more than a year....

And the price would be closer to $100

 

[Des]

Haven't they got any?
Do they have to print them?


The 6.9 badge was quite cheap also, I think mine was like $60 new

And where are your superior bargaining powers when I need them? Here I am caught between an S3 and a Cloud III and I need some bargain muscle. And you, Michel, are swanning around the Asian subcontinent leaving me to my own devices. Tuesday is the day for decisions or just walking away.
Ah well, my grandfather was a horse-trader and my great grandfather owned a pub in the outback so maybe I can wing it.

BenzBoy - and no Miss Olga to help. Well, there is no First Class on Qantas Domestic so I can hardly expect her to slum it with me in Zoo class all the way to Melbourne, now can I?

Good buy's Michel, I've seen what the official prices are for these parts.
BenzBoy, have you done the +'s and -'s list? Personally I'd go the S3 if thats any help...

 

[Michel]

Benz Boy......

You know you want the S3, but The Cloud III has it all over...

They're both great....

However, money talks...

Good luck in whatever you decide and there will still be room at Ecurie Malik

Michel, not only are you a Bargain Hunter of the First Order, you are also a Gentleman of Taste.
Lets us see which way Miss Olga's lucky paw points?

Re: Owners manual

The only problem with getting a USA owners manual is that it will have the Climate Control instead of our basic A/C controls.
Also, it will probably have only 2 settings mentioned on the suspension knob as the US cars had a stop on the cable so that you could only lock the suspension, not raise it as well.
They did this because of their regulations about bumper height.

I bought one of these manuals cheap from the US and when I received it I noticed these differences, so I "binned it".

BINNED IT

 

[Bandolero]

Binned It??????

Well, it didn't apply to my model 6.9 so I got rid of it........

I do still have the original for my car, it's just that it's a bit "ragged".

 

[Michel]

Meaning the Bargain Bin...
not the Rubish Bin (I hope)
