Selling our white CLK BS
So we have decided to sell our white BS. As soon as can gather everything together I will list the car, not sure where though. I love the car, but have decided to go a different direction and we have only driven the car about 150 miles this year. Currently at 42,715 miles.
No accidents, a few mods like; extra carbon fiber in interior, rear seat, tuning, throttle blip/rev-match, secondary cats removed/X-pipe, adjustable camber bushings, rear control arm bushings, serviced, etc. Still have rear seat delete parts and stock wheels, 2 keys, manuals, etc.
Once I make a listing (Ebay, Dupont, Autotrader?) I will have all the stats/pics. Car will probably be listed at $62,500.
The front grill is actually gloss black now.

nice ride!! love white! not a big deal but was just wondering if the front grill was revert-able (is this even a word 
) back to chrome or was it painted permanently? Also if you had any other pics of the car...
also sent you a pm.
thanks-
matt

I had a body shop paint it gloss black last October. The grill is actually gloss black anyway, but has the chrome lips on the front. I did all gloss black to tie into the wheels. I will take more pics today, washed it last night.

It looks like I have a few PMs already on this forum, so I will try to sell here first. Obviously if you are here you already know what you are looking for and that this is a rare car in white.
We are the 3rd owner, the 2nd owners name and his California address is still in the Navi. However the Carfax probably shows 6 owners since it went from dealer to dealer. If a dealer has the car longer than a month they have to put it in their name, correct me if I am wrong.
We bought the car locally from a dealer here in the Chicago area in April of 2014. I have maybe put 150 miles on it this year. The plates expired in April and at that point we kind of knew that we wanted to sell, so it has just been sitting here.
Over the winter 2 pieces of carbon fiber cracked (lucky me), the ashtray and the shifter surround. I removed the front bumper in February to get it repainted (rock chips & several previous touch ups) so I had the front louvers, ashtray & surround redone by a carbon fiber guy. All 4 pieces look like new.
Specs;
-42,715 miles.
-Continental A/S tires (7-8/32)
-Extra carbon fiber trim in interior (last year)
-Rear seat & seat belts from standard CLK (last year)
-Weistec oil separator (last year)
-MHP ECU tuning (tuned for LTH, does not have LTH currently)
-MHP Low-temp thermostat (last year)
-K&N air filters (last year)
-Throttle blip/rev-match from Ralf with Stage II upgrade (last year)
-Secondary cats removed/X-pipe (no smell, no light, not that loud)
-Adjustable camber/toe bushings (last year)
-Rear control arm bushings (last year to fix wander)
-Girodisc front rotors (maybe 300 miles)
-Yellowstuff F&R brake pads (maybe 300 miles)
-New spark plugs (last year)
-Window tint (came with)
-Exterior lights tinted (just wrapped last year)
-Optima Yellow battery (last year)
-Just serviced
Still have all rear seat delete parts, 2 keys, manuals, coilover tools, etc
No warning lights, no leaks, no dings, no scratches. Does have a slight dent in drivers door edge, looks like someone tapped a wall when they opened it. We actually did not notice for a couple weeks after buying it. The car does have some light rock chips (front bumper perfect), try to find a car with 40K miles and no rock chips!
The battery was moved to the trunk due to the rear seat conversion, everything for the seat & seatbelts is bolt-in, no modification at all besides moving battery. If you want the rear seat delete put back in I can do that before you get car, or all of it will come with. However, if I do put the seat delete back in, you will not get the seat parts (way too many things to box up).

The only thing that is not present on the rear seat install is the wiring for the rear seat-belt pre-tensioners. That means the seat belts will not tighten further once triggered. However the seat belts will work perfectly like any other seat belt.

Pretty easy. Contrary to what some people say, it is just a CLK underneath. It has all the mounting points for everything. However, to make it better you should replace the front seats with ones that recline/move forward fast. That way someone can get out of the rear seat fast if they have to. I only has the kids in the back seat a few times, was planning on installing some recline-able racing seats but did not get around to it. These racing seats would save weight too!

When a seat belt has a "Pretensioner" built in, that is tied into the air bag system. When the airbag system goes off it send a signal to the pretensioner and sets them off. The pretensioner actually has an explosive charge inside and that is set off. When that happens it takes the already tight/locked seat belt and tightens the belt even further.
I hope you understand?

Also, some people did not want the stock wheels, now they have a price for the car with only the stock wheels (which is lower).
