The article centers on a reader prompt about what out-of-production car people would buy new now, assuming price is not a factor and excluding schemes to resell rare vehicles at auction. The writer expresses interest in a brand-new Mercedes W123, citing its “bulletproof” build and long-standing image. However, the piece then reproduces a long message associated with a scam solicitation. It claims the sender, described as Hajiya Maryam Abacha and managing director of “Modern Nigeria Mercedes-Benz of Nigeria, Ltd.,” says the W123 is supposedly re-entering production, referencing planned production starting in 2004 and a budget of US$35,000,000. The message also cites alleged coordination involving Mercedes-Benz Stuttgart, Toyota/Hindustan, and Russian entities linked to the Ajaokuta Steel Plant project.
