"This car has all kinds of upgrades and mods, totally custom and i would be here all night naming them and putting prices up here, and money that im going to lose in this sale haha. But hey its my loss your game"
"THIS BENZ HAS THE $3,000 KLEEMANN SUPER CHARGER PULLY KIT , ALONG WITH THE $2100 HEADERS, THESE PARTS PUT OVER 100HP TO THE CAR "
100 hp from a header and pulley.
Wouldn't be much point asking for a dyno, or would there....
he might 'be up all night' like trying to draw it with tracing paper.
Another idiot from NJ.

i didnt think its possible but this guy has just ruined what started out as a perfectly fine automobile. he needs to look up the word "hoopty" in the urban dictionary bc his car is officially one. spending more than the car is worth in mods doesnt make the car any sweeter, it just makes you look stupid.
heavily modding cars with such low starting values is pointless, just spend that money on a better car or use it to move out of your parents basement (in this guys case).

HaHaHa Will he gets an A in effort in my books because he put alot of work into proposing the car. It obvious he screwed it up with crappy amps, stickers, ridiculous rims,"civic exhaust", and I am annoyed of him playing the same song in all the video clips.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!
I don't know about you guys but I have never seen a listing with all those pictures and video links before. Especially not the video links. But that car looks ridiculous. No offense but black people (i am black) so I can say this just can't modify cars. Well actually thats ignorant. I guess in a way they have their own tuner view haha. Because if you notice there is a whole group of "Ricey" cars there is a whole group of people mainly in "rural" areas who put big a$$ rims on cars and my biggest pet peve now!! DON'T LOWER THE CAR!!!!
But hey I guess that is just what their view on what looks good amongst themselves? Im pretty sure there are certain things we do that they don't like either...
Disclaimer: I am not defending this car! It looks terrible!

That...along with non-leather seats, makes it all worth it
Just think of all the positives...if it gets into an accident, you don't have to worry about whether it becomes a salvage vehicle or not...It already is.
Then in those hot summer and cold winter months, you don't have to worry about the seats being too hot or too cold...the cloth upholstery takes care of this for you
Too bad...it was a decent car....BEFORE he and his company got their hands on it.

"NO expense spared, 17K invested!!!" I have to wonder, where did the 17K go?
The header, now 650 here in the forum. The pulley kit was never more than
1500, not 3 grand. Then he's got a coffee can ebay muffler, and a massive audio system to listen to bubbagump music....thats really the only thing...and some NON amg wheels.
otherwise it's basically a stock C230 with pano and thats it.
Nothing to the suspension, no bix....
But it is low mileage.

Shocking misrepresentation, fraught with errors, chintzy crap - poor little car 
Interior back to standard, audio crap out, stickers off, real AMG wheels, standard exhaust, upgrade tail lights, halve the price - sorta a deal

LLMAO - When I was new on the forum - my good friend, Cintoman, wanted to know why anybody would waste their time buying a C240 - got a few irate responses Ah! we all open our mouths to change feet on occasion.

C240 - Unstressed, tough as nails, huge mileage potential & smooooth! A real Benz. M112 would be wasted driving a water pump on a farm - leave that to M111
What the UK Motoring Press had to say about the M111 "Coarse. Noisy. Crude. Hardly words you'd expect to hear applied to a car bearing the famous Mercedes badge. Yet, when describing the company's four-cylinder petrol engine in the 230 Kompressor – all are entirely accurate."
