It pains me to do this, but I'm thinking about selling my car. My wife wants it sold, and with a new truck and house to remodel, it's hard to justify keeping a car that I barely ever drive. Shame too because I have it just the way I want it and she's gorgeous.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics but I haven't had time for better yet, but will post. I am in Newbury Park, CA, near Los Angeles.

Details:

I am the 2nd owner. Have owned it since May 2007. I bought it at a Benz dealership CPO. Was in a small fender bender a couple years ago at which time the front fenders, hood, and front bumper (and I believe radiator?) were replaced. No airbags went off.

35,300 miles

Iridium silver ext - black interior

Brabus rocket front bumper

20" Klass forged three-piece wheels 11" in the back and 9.5" in the front (I think?)

Kleeman K1

VRP shorty headers

Meisterschaft mufflers

renntech airbox

renntech lowering module

couple very small nicks in the paint but otherwise very clean interior and exterior

ALWAYS garaged

Asking $37K obo?

mchapparone

good looking car. Love the front bumper. I'll ask around down here and see if I can gauge any interest for you!

djrabbi

You should ask more for that mileage...Can I buy your front grille? Thanks!

CharlyE500

Any interior pix and warranty left ?

BlackKompressor

Thanks folks. Djrabbi, sorry, but I don't want to part the car out. Everything flows as she sits. To be honest, I don't even really want to sell the car. It is timeless IMO...a classic, and I don't think I'll find another '06 with this low mileage. But there's a part of me that just says sell it and walk away...and the little devil on my other shoulder saying you put over $90K into this car and you're gonna take a ~$50K loss?!?. I'm LOOKING for a reason not to sell it!

And then there's the wife who never approved of the car since day 1!

Ah well, as they say, "happy wife, happy life".

djrabbi

Not to be a dick or anything.....$100k invested? Do you mean the mods plus the cars worth? Unless your hiding something crazy under that hood!

BlackKompressor

No warranty left. I had the CPO warranty for a year after I bought it, and then I bought a 3 year aftermarket warranty which just ran out a few months ago, but I never used them. I believe one can still buy an aftermarket warranty if you look around, especially considering the mileage is so low? It did just have a service a couple months ago and I've prolly put less than 500 miles on it since then as I barely ever drive her.

Yes, will get some better pics posted this weekend when I have time to take the car out of the garage. Interior is the "black nappa" I believe with the wood grain dash and accents and the alcantara headliner. heated dynamic and massage seats. parktronic and distronic. Will have to look for the window sticker for all the options it has but it's pretty much loaded other than the performance package.

BlackKompressor

Haha! You read it before I had a chance to edit it.
But yes, I would say easily close to $100K. Over $90 with no problem.

Bought it in May of 2007 for ~$85K. (remember the car was only a year old at the time and this is a $105K car new).

Rocket bumper + install = $2k
Kleeman K1 + install = $2K
Wheels + tires = $3K
Front Grille = $1K
Renntech ELM + install = $1k
VRP shorty headers + intall = $1.5K
Renntech airbox = $1k

all low estimates just off the top of my head.

and other things I prolly can't think of right now...you can do the math...

Close to $100K if not over.

djrabbi

You should just part it out and sell me all the parts and still get what your asking...more $$$$ in your pocket

BlackKompressor

I hear you, and believe me, I know how bad the used car market is right now and I'm not expecting to recoup much, if any, of the cost of the aftermarket parts. I just want to sell the car as is and not hassle with the swapping of parts and shipping stuff, etc. I'd rather just sell it as is to someone who has an appreciation for the car as a whole.
Appreciate the offer though and if anything changes I'll let you know.
