I'm passing on this one. I'm targeting a 30K 05-06 CL or ML in late winter / early spring.
I love this part:

Please confirm the accuracy of the included equipment by calling the dealer.
I think they meant INACCURACY

The two numbers seem very close to Km and miles (28 to 46) convertion, so maybe one is listing as wrong u/m? Although, the picture does show 28K in miles, maybe Carfax in Km for some reason?

Either way, seems strange....

Too bad it's the wrong picture.
The picture is a 760Li, but what's up for sale is a 745Li right? If it's a 760, I'll take a reliability hit and go for it at $22K.

Ahh, these sellers, don't even know what they're advertising....

No, but I do play a used car salesman on TV... my alias is Joe Isuzu... trust me, it's only got 28K (waving my hand in a Jedi gesture).

You're a Toyadian? I'm a Toyotaian... maybe we're related. Do you know Yogurt? Why is your Schwartz longer than mine?

I think we've gone off on a very bad tangent here. What was this thread about?

Just to get back on thread... when I was searching for LS, I noticed that most people were listing "ULTRA" luxury as a term for the vehicle in general. Either they did not know there was trim called Ultra Luxury or it was attempt at fraud, but they would list it has ultra luxury and blah blah... but then when you look at the pictures, it didn't even have the NAV.

Even at the place that I eventually bought my LS, they had a few LS mis-labeled and even one it said LS430, but it was a picture of an ES350. That's like going to buy a Porsche and you leave with a porch...
