I have a very hard time buying that price, given the money sunk in the car. Not to mention it's got super low miles. Something isn't right.

Well the car is 9 years old. The car is twin turbo, but it has to compete with AMG models such as the C36 and C43. The C36 and C43 are in abundance and can be had for quite low prices now. The twin turbos will also put more wear and tear on that engine. If the engine was not rebuilt to withstand the extra power, then that price is all the car is worth. It has low miles, but I bet it has seen the track and had its handful of street races.

$34K invested??? Now for all we know the guy could have a hook-up, got this all at cost, installed at his or a friends garage and had him write up a fake order receipt to show it was a $34K job. I have never really looked into a SC for my C43 but I think a kleeman was going for about $11K and ~$2k for install.

That's a great price!!! Even if it was non turbo charged it would be a pretty good deal for the condition it's in and everything. I wish I had that car.

Read it again people.... read it carefully... It says "it has had a twin turbo with intercooler" This means he has removed the turbos and intercoolers.. So the motor is stock now.... This is obviously not a good deal, and the guys selling this car was trying to trick people into buying it.

I would never buy a car off ebay..

Why would the moron show pictures of it with only the turbo and innercooler? Someone would be pretty pissed.

I bought my C43 from ebay march 2003, love it to death. It was from MB/Porsche dealer and Starmark Certified, if it was a private party I'd have to see it first.

Just got off the phone with the guy at DC named Cliff. The car STILL has the twin turbos in there. They are selling at that low price, low miles and he said car runs/looks great. Was checked out at a MBZ dealership and they have the paper work from the mechanics stating things are in good working conditions.
