Aye - I think I am losing the plot though

(have a look at the MoT history, comes back from Japan in 2009 and does hardly anything between (often 12 months plus MoT tests. I'm guessing some oil guy working away comes back, does 300 miles, goes away again).

p.s. looks like they got the original listing a bit wrong: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165185831924?hash=item2675d7c3f4:i:165185831924

As soon as that E36 sees a road in Aberdeen it'll dissolve.

Nice interior. Shame about the self-digesting engine. 

Not helped by “new cam belt” on this timing-chain engine?

And no old horse hair sticking through the seat base. That must be pretty rare on a 200,000 mile W124

I've not bought a car for a year, mainly because I can't sell the old ones .

My goal for the year was not to buy any more cars. So far so good, just 45 days until 2022.

The Mercedes mats and lack of wear on drivers seat are a good sign. 

The spoiler, missing jacking-point caps, possible dent in rear door and non-standard wheels may point to trouble...or not.

But not expensive and they are superb cars to own and drive.

The motoring equivalent of owning a Lear Jet. Last a lifetime and take you anywhere hassle-free.

What’s wrong with the spoiler?

Nothing in itself. But as a non-standard fitment it may or may not indicate a car that has been messed about. 

Additional bad signs for me are aftermarket wooden steering wheels that look like they have been made at a fretwork evening class and those chrome arch covers...😂

Original MB mats are an initial good sign...along with an unworn drivers seat bolster...

Understood.  👍
