Sorry dude but you would be lucky to get $1 at trade in right now for that truck. 3k in the private market and you should be cracking the champaigne because nobody is buying. Pure and simple, not trying to be an ***....

Why dont you google the model number of that radio (start with REVIEW than model #, this will get you the original review which will have the original price at the time). This way you will see it was never $500.00 and you could delete that price from you listings. Otherwise, potential buyers will think you are trying to pull a fast one on them as if they were dumb, know what I mean?

pretty good, i cant believe this guy is clammoring to purchase suv's. get the truck sold and get a c43, and do your best to get service records and have a thorough inspection done and you should be okay if all that stuff checks out.

yea

no problem man, im tryna help you get that truck out, service is important, i bought my C36 for 8500, with a stack of service records, car is awesome no problems for the past 10,000 miles, he fell in love with mine my friend bought same car, from a dealer, for 11,000 same mileage colors everything, they look identical but the rims u can tell them apart, his has had a few probs. i helped him give it a tune up. engine cleaned radiator flush, nnew plugs, and wires, cold air intake, exhaust, and all that good stuff, car runs great now! the guy who owned it before abused the car. A LOT, but now all is well. come to think of it, we were at the store the other day with his car, and tis guy came up and sed, dude u bought my car, i guess he was the prev. owner, he was amazed at how it looked, and sounded.

see, this is my hobby fixing up these older benzez cuz they still hold soooo much potential.

3 new wires if any. doesnt your i6 motor have coil on plug for 3 cyls and those same 3 coils send a wire to a 2nd cyl?

nope

actually it's different. there are three coils and 3 ignitors, those 3 ignites take care of all 6 sparks, i wished that we had 1 ignitor for each, like the 8's but o well, we dropped bosch iridium fusion, and let me tell you, you can FEEL he diff with those plugs man EXCELLENT QUALITY


oh and we changed his plugs at 122,000 guess wat? the plugs were stocks that came with the car.....SINCE NEW sad eh? wen i did mine the prev. owner had +4's in there at least. i feel bad for these 36's that don't get treated right man

strangely enough you'd probably make more power with copper single electrode plugs...

Are you saying the C36 uses a wasted spark ignition system? IE fires on a cylinder when the piston is at TDC, regardless as to whether it's on the exhaust or compression stroke.

magnecor claims "distributorless ignition". in any case, i recall only having 3 coils on cyls 1,3,5 on my c280's. each of which would have a wire coming off of it to supply cyls 2,4,6 with spark energy, respectively. but i could swear that on cyls 1,3,5 it was coil on plug mating so there wouldnt be any need for a wire there...

ah

i c what your talking about seeklasse adam your stuckin a pretty tight set up here, the market is bad not much people are buying. so yea. maybe if you drop the price? you should bring it down to a dealership that buys cars, but they'd pay less, but you'dget is sold quicker, sorry man but with the way the economy is right now, ur gonna have to maybe lose out somewhere, either in price or time. just don't go any lower that 6 G's for tat thing.

if he tries to stay above 6k he'll have it until inflation means that 6k is the equivalent of about 1200 now...

it's worth 4000 tops to a stupid buyer
