1988 Mercedes-Benz

• Paint is white and clean and glossy on the uncovered photos, doors and flat panels line up straight — no paint or body budget from these photos.
• Black bumpers, grille, arch flares and trim are clean and un-scuffed, headlight lenses clear — no trim replacement money needed.
• Chunky all-terrain tires show deep tread on every corner and the dark wheels are clean and un-kerbed — no tire or wheel money needed.
• Black cloth seats front and rear look unworn and un-torn, and the cargo floor and mats are clean — no retrim budget from these photos.
• Dash and center console are modern, glossy black and unmarked, wheel and gauges clean in close-up — no dash repair money needed.
• Five of the sampled photos show the whole truck wrapped in a white transport cover, hiding the body completely — those shots prove nothing, so don't pay for condition you can't see in them.
• No engine bay or underside photos in the sample — none of that can be judged, so keep inspection money aside for both.

Money: At $250,000 the uncovered photos show a clean, unworn truck that fits the ask, but with no engine or underside views and a third of the sample under a cover, the price still needs an in-person inspection to be earned.
