That car definitely looks like one of Kyle's here in the US of A. The cars in the background have that distinct American look...

What? You don't think the the Plymouth Voyager is a top-seller in Germany?

At 61k Euro's, it better be darn near perfect. Its a beauty nonetheless!

Pic sure was taken in Kyle's neighborhood.

Another one of Kyle's with a tan interior that I was considering buying in early 2008.
Same location, same red whatever kind of car in the driveway in front of a tan garage door and brick house... ;)

Being a 1990, I hope Kyle has the registration and importation worked out on this WB. $80k price. Looks like a sweet widebody. Still like RJ's better, though, for many reasons (Gen I, provenance, color, etc..); but I wouldn't turn away from this beauty!

Like the RJ widebody there seem to be a proliferation of spoof ads. I wonder if Kyle even knows of that ad??

Curious how these scams work?

Buyer: "I'm ready to see the car and buy!"

Seller: "I'm in Nigeria on a trip. I need a Western Union deposit."

Great points! We should all be very leery of For Sale ads until the car is in front of one of us and ownership papers are verified.

If I recall wasn't Kyle's black/red Gemballa sold to Canada first, then to Talbir in the U.K. ?

I looked at several of Kyle's cars but could never get an answer if they could pass emissions and be registered legally.
He always held Virginia titles but never any emissions certificates.

Wasn't that the problem with the silver C126 widebody that was trying to be sold a few years ago on the West Coast...
A Kyle car with a title that couldn't be registered in most states ?

Correct me if I'm wrong as I have much too many "senior' moments !!

This Kyle's car and his ad. The car is said to have been sold and he's keeping the ad up until the deal is finalized.

Can you verify for what the car sold for? If the 61k Euro price tag is true, then the price has gone up considerably.

Was this the widebody that was "supposedly" to come up here for sale anytime soon? Guess that's not happening... :(

$80K for a 6L widebody.....not surprising given the prices paid for BMW tii's, VW 21-window kombi's, Porsche 911's, et al...I'm just glad the AMG is keeping its ground above, at least this example is.
