    Hi, there is a mistake in your bidding system. I have overbid myself from 25-37.000euro which is not correct. Please delete my bids from 25.000euro and up!

      Hallo, gibt es noch aussagefähige Bilder der Radläufe von innen, so dass man den Korrosionsschutz sehen kann?

      • 12.01.2025 12:27

        Der Einsatz von 30.000 € für eine neue Bremse. Die Überholung des Zylinderkopf ist inklusive Steuerkette es wie eine Service mit Auspuffwechsel ist deutlich überholt. Gibt es hierfür Rechnungsbelege die entsprechendes auch faktisch nachweisen können auch wenn die Arbeiten in diesem Preis Umfang deutlich überzogen sind?

        • 13.01.2025 10:22

          Warum wird explizit nicht auf Unfallfreiheit hingewiesen, sondern nur auf den Besitz Zeitraum?

          • 14.01.2025 15:31

            Hallo auto-dietz.de, vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage. Im jetzigen Besitz ist der Wagen unfallfrei, vorherige Unfälle können jedoch nicht ausgeschlossen werden. Beste Grüße aus Hamburg, Ihr Kickdown Team
