I am not the seller. Noticed this car for sale for a few months now.

That ad is full of fail!

"Only 500 Produced worldwide" <---------------------- 3500 produced world wide
"350 Horsepower V8 Hand Crafted AMG Engine" <-------302 HP V8
"Sport Transmission" <---------------------------------???
"Custom 1 piece HID Headlights both for Lo beam and HI beam" <--- Ebay
"Custom LED Tail Lights" <---------------------------------------- Ebay again
"Custom Painted black roof" <------------------------------------AKA painted black

I love how "custom" is put in front of everything, more like aftermarket as everything can be bought on Ebay. Custom would refer to the fact that it was made specifically for YOUR vehicle not the entire line.

Last but not least $15k asking price for a C43 with 145,000 miles is absurd, you could buy an E55 (really nice W210 or a bottom W211).

Yes. I've been laughing at this for a while now. Just had to share with the good folks here.
