Another BS on the market!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Ben...m=252310606090
I have no affiliation but I think this one is a give away. Although a lot more miles than usual but still it is a bargain. Somebody gotta jump on it!

Step 1: Buy car at $80k.
Step 2: Rip off the wrap.
Step 3: Sell car.
Step 4: Profit
Edit: Ab, PM me what you think this BS is actually worth if you don't mind. I'm having a hard time coming up with a reliable number

I question the mental health of anyone who puts a wrap like that on their BS. That's got to be one of the worst looking cars I've ever seen.

I don't dislike the wrap as much as I dislike the words on the rear bumper. At least the wrap has a style to it.

Here's another BS with the track package that isn't nearly as tasteless and posslibly not nearly as abused:

And another one by the same dealer:

Looks like people are dumping them before the big repair bills start to come in...
P.S. The red one has definitely been tracked - you can tell by the pad material transfer to the front rotors. The white in this post on on the other hand looks like it has never left the street. Probably a beter buy overall in the long run despite the price premium, which btw includes MBH headers, X-pipe & midpipe according to the dealer ad.

That FL car has been for sale for a while!! And i don't think it has track package as far as I remember the window sticker.
It was first a private sale with 15k miles last year. By the end of the year that miami dealership bought it for around $90k (private seller asking price). Now it is trying to flip it!

Yeah the white one seems to be the better deal. But this dealer is lying about the track package. This one too has been on ebay for a while.....

Lying about track pack? They have it listed and I would assume they pulled all of that off the sticker. They know the MSRP of 126k but still trying to sell at 128k used w/ 10k miles. Lulz

I disagree. If you take a look at the market for Black Series cars, they've done quite well actually.
The pricing recently for CLK63BS' have completely begun to level off at the $60k minimum mark. From there, they've been steadily going up.
I wouldn't necessarily call a car that's aging and being driven while holding or having an increasing market value irrelevant.

Look at all the old 996 GT3's holding their value. Those cars suck compared to the 997.X GT3's and 991 GT3's but people are still willing to pay the hefty market value for them.
Same thing goes for the CLK63BS, SL65BS, and will continue for the C63BS. It will most definitely not become "irrelevant" and I'm sure the market will reflect that.

Again, yes it will outshine it, but that's not at all what affects market value of cars.

No one is paying a hefty price for a 996 GT3 vs a 997/991 GT3. Bad comparison
I own a 997 C4S Turbo

It has nothing to do with value. It has everything to do with consideration set. Apples to Apples parked side by side, the new coupe is the winner. Hence, i believe, the new C63s Coupe is more special than the BS - drivetrain / styling / interior.

Here is a 2005 GT3 (996), mind you, the cheapest in the country on cars.com. $77.5k https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...6926/overview/
A 997 C4S, a step up from the wildly lunatic 996, runs at about $45K https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...5380/overview/
Parked side by side, your 997 C4S, on paper, is "better" than a 996 GT3. Just like, on paper, the W205 Coupe may be better than a W204 BS.However, as you can see, the market could quite literally care less about that.
Also, there's no such thing as a 997 C4S Turbo. Unless you meant 911 Turbo, but usually in the p-car world, C4S equates to Carrera 4S.

Your comparing a non BS car to a BS and saying the non BS (and newer) car is a better performer and therefore will cost more down the road and make the older BS irrelevant? Okay. Wrong. Let me illustrate with your C4S.

The market will also react, and is already reacting to the BS once the W205 coupe is out (which is just landing).
And I do have a C4S with an aftermarket Turbo and it does exist and is parked in my garage.....

You are the one bringing up Porsches, which is completely irrelevant. And a 997 C4S is not "better" than a 996 GT3 (rear drive vs AWD). Get you shi+ straight and stop talking about P Cars based on price.

I said that older "special" cars like BS cars, GT3's etc will all hold their value over their newer, non limited production run cars even if they are better performers.
I gave you an example - 996 GT3 versus your newer 997 C4S. Like I indicated in my previous posts, those "older" cars have not become irrelevant and the market (price) reflects that.
I'm sorry man - your just wrong and the prices above are speaking to that.
Learn to walk away when you've lost an argument as opposed to getting mad and telling people to "get their sh*t straight".
Peace
EDIT: Sweet Porsche, by the way.
