anyone ever asked to rent your g?

received the following message on me phone yesterday...

"Hello, the old owner of the Mercedes-Benz 230 GE give me your mobile phone number... I'm Andra from Daimlerchrysler Switzerland, Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicles after sales manager. My wife and me are coming for holiday in Thailand from 12.20.2006 to 01.01.2007. We would like to rent your 230 GE at this period, and pay a very good price... Is that possible? I call you tomorrow, but can answer m"

that was it -- the end of the message was cut off. the guy must have found an old listing on a website and then contacted the p.o.

believe it or not? and no, not even considering taking him up on the offer.

RE: anyone ever asked to rent your g?

No one has asked to rent any of my G's, but numerous people have asked to borrow them, be taken for a ride, ect. The G's are always an attention magnet.

RE: anyone ever asked to rent your g?

Remember, in Life there are three things that you never lend or rent out:

1. Your WIFE

2. Your TOOTHBRUSH

3. Your "G"


..............they will never come back!

The above 1. & 2. are negotiable, 3. is not.

I have asked on the other forum if I could rent a G when I visit the USA next year, I had 3 positive replies.

RE: anyone ever asked to rent your g?

difference being you know exactly where to look & they already kind of know you, neither of which applies to this guy. if he is who he said he is, then you'd think these forums would be one of the first places he would look. kind of amazing the lengths he is willing to go to -- sending sms to strangers. i better go hide me toothbrush...

Re: anyone ever asked to rent your g?

I had a high school teen who asked me after church last Spring if he could rent my G for the prom. My obvious answer was an absolutely resounding "No!"
