hi there i have a mercedes clk430 which was completly changed to a 5.8 brabus inside out its on 2001 and wondering how do i find the value for the car its only covered 37k miles

Sounds like it'd be a W208..

That being said, how many miles on the 5.8? How many miles on the chassis? What all was swapped? Interior seats, cluster, exterior, brakes, wheels, motor, transmission, ECU? Has it been tuned? Who did the swap? Was everything pulled from a wrecked authentic Brabus car? Clean title? Condition? Maintenance records? Highly detailed photos? There are a TON of factors that determine value. The sales market for W202s & W208s at this point is pretty much at the bottom; however it's becoming more & more difficult to find clean examples of each. Good luck!

well its fully built by brabus and the whole chassis has covered only 37k miles so not sure who when and what was done, we have owned the vehicle for the past maybe 7 to 10 years now getting it cleaned up serviced by brabus and then find some value on it, interior i think is normal and will have to go back to the garage and check it but the transmission ecu engine brakes wheels are all brabus. in terms of paperwork theres tons of it havent gone thru it yet just in the process of getting it cosmetically perfect before it goes in for major service then i will be putting it up for sale but not sure how much

i think an original w208 brabus is exceptionally rare. hold out and you will get your price if your papers and the vehicle are in order.

what are the issues with your car?
only standard service issues or is it costly issues like defects?

what's the reason your car has been collecting dust for 7 years?

do you have Brabus chrome gear knob and door pins interior parts?
these are real nice interior parts, I have them in my car.
also have Monoblock V 18" split rims

the reason was my brother who is pretty well off brought it originally and then when the insurance ran out move on to a new shape x5 then from there kept on buying other cars to keep him going and this poor thing was stood in the back garden under a cover untill i took it off him and started cleaning it up on my days off work thats the reason why its been collecting dust, to him its just another car and his sons couldnt afford to run it clean it or insure it so no one gave a dam about it till i took it off him and then they got interested in the car but now its mine and i want to get it up to scratch

<br /><br />did this car sit outside under a tarp for 7 years?<br />do you have rust on undercarriage and other places?<br />CLK do rust a lot!<br /><br />after you bought it from your brother and decided to fix her up, your brother and his kids now seem to have the munchies for your Brabus.<br />do you have a family feud about this car, they want it back?

Where are you located? Location will play a big factor in the value of the vehicle. We can also look back at past sales to get an idea on value once we know the location. They aren't common, by any stretch of the imagination, but Brabus B58's do change hands every once and awhile.
