Kurt, where'd you score the carbon fiber trim? You had it specially made?

To bad I just bought a nice almost stock C43 with 74k for $12500 or I would jump all over this car! And as I modify it I will spend a lot of money on her. Your already modified C43 is a real deal and super low miles!

This car is a steal!

I would take better quality pics of outside, inside and engine. At least 30 pics and post them on photobucket. Pictures sell cars and houses.

Good Luck

Congratulations on the new purchase!
but be ready to spend about another 30-35k to make it like mine. You will probably save more by just buying my car than modding yours.

Wow...no offense, but that's a lot of money even if it has relatively low miles. Based on what most guys have paid on this forum, I'd say $9K would have been a more appropriate price....but eh, to each his own.

Here's my listing for the car

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...27937857&Log=0

and the bbs lms are for sale!
You can take them for $2,500 shipped. I paid $2,500+300 for shipping for these a month ago. They will come with tires but rears are bold and fronts are usable but not recommend because of the fitment. So, the tires are mainly for wheel protection during shipping.

I would say keep it in the $17.5k range and be patient. It will take time to find the right buyer who wants a car with that level of modification. But your price is not absurd.

If you're impatient, I would plan on parting it out and putting it back to stock, or fire sale it for $12k-$13k.

And put it on Ebay just for the exposure. Set the reserve at $17k and let it get some views. The problem is that 80-90% of the people who are looking at this thread already have a C43 or C36. Unless you're looking to trade for a less modified vehicle, we're not really your market.

An amazing car, don't go below 17k.
Maybe add a few pics of the engine/supercharger to your add.
I agree e-bay and craigslist just for more exposure also any other MB forum.

Thanks guys! I think 17k is fare for both the buyer and me as well. Not exactly fare for me but I never expected to sell this and dumped so much money into the car.

First, beautiful ride. Someone will definitely get a great car for that price.

My question is, where does one get CF interior trim parts like your? Where they custom and by whom?

Thanks

I think you are meaning to say fair and not fare. Indeed 17k is a fair and very reasonable amount of cash considering the beauty of the car. Sorry to hear it has to go.

99CLK320,
If you are going to regret it.....don't sell the car man. How long are you going to be in S.Korea? Certainly not forever. You are taking a seriou$ hit.

As always, good luck with the sale, and free bump for a nice ride.

(But if you ever decide to sell those 18" monoblocks separately, feel free to pm me My current set is leaking air like mad!)

Merry Christmas!

I sat on the car way too long and it has to go... sad.
