Arrow Sick Brabus 2003 CL600 For sale in Dallas, TX!!!!!!!

Ok guys i know this is not the "For Sale" section but we all realize our CL600's are very special and maybe you know someone in the market. Im looking to purchase a Porsche Carerra and unfortunately cant have both.

Extremely well maintained 2003 CL600. It is a fully loaded V12 Biturbo Coupe. It produces 493hp and 590tq. Not enough? Availabe ECU tunes can add an additional 100hp/100tq! The car is basically sound proof. When driving down the road you cannot hear much of anything...not even the roar of the V12. It goes 60-130mph before you can blink. A truly amazing car that looks and runs great. Commands tons of road presence. The interior is like the that of a private jet, very clean and detailed, double stitched leather throughout complimented by an alcantara headliner that is soft and plush. Exterior is a 9 and interior is a 9.9. Leather conditioned every month. Claybar and detailed yearly. Currently at 83k miles. All scheduled maintenance has been performed. Features include lowering module and Brabus 20" custom wheels in staggered fitment along with Brabus exhaust and matching Brabus front and rear lower valance. These enhancements alone retail for over $12600. Considering the vehicle sold for $120K new its clear that this is a lot of car for the money. New items include performance tires, front/rear rotors and pads, power steering pump. All maintenance records available. Non-smoker with no pets or children. Smells new and fresh. Clean carfax.

$23900. Reasonable offers considered.

I think it is still for sale by 240m3srt, this is Austinite old car.

I don't get the sudden multiple posts buy mlc-cl600, you don't have to be much of a detective to find all of 240m3srt's posts. He simply put his car for sale, I would assume anyone interested would search the forum.

The 600 definitely has problems with the abc, but why get so mad about it?

.you don't find out that your car needs 11k in repairs then try to sell it as a problem free car in a month or two on the same forum....FOUL.

this is what he's saying.......................Extremely well maintained 2003 CL600.
LOL wow. This chump has 5 posts, joined our forums this month, and wants to come on here like this? He must be out of his mind

I had a bad gut-feeling about this guy from the get go. He wanted to buy my car and sent about fifty emails, asked 1000 questions all of which i politely answered. He tried to get me to drop my price thousands of dollars right off the bat. He talked a big game and when the time came he did not show up to 3 different appointments! He even made a cash offer to buy the car sight unseen claiming his buddy would be bringing me the cash and that he would later fly in to pick it up. Another big promise with nothing to back it. But wait it gets better. In the midst of all this he had two conversations going on with me from two different email addresses with different first and last names trying to work one against the other to get a better deal!!! It was obviously the same moron because he has poor grammer and types in the same manner from each email address, plus he started every email with all caps. He then told me that he bought a car for his wife but was still interested in mine if i would drop my price even further...but he did this from both email addresses. I was starting to realize this guy must smoke a lot of really hard stuff. If you are going to scam someone wouldnt you at least TRY and make it appear legit? All in all i think its a blessing he did not show up as im certain their would have been problems.

Now to set the record straight about the repair work on this car. It has a warranty thats ends with me. It is not transferable as i already checked. That is why the price is $20000 or best offer, Its no big mystery that the CL's are amazing cars and extremely powerful, but that repairs can be expensive. The ABC quote i originally received was obviously high so i took the car home to consider if i really wanted to tackle the coilover project. I decided to get a second opinion and took the car to another high end repair facility who said all the car needed was a brand new pump and a flush, which they did. The problem was fixed and hasnt come back since, period. The place that did the work is called Motorwerks in Houston, talk to Travis and he will vouch for the repairs on the car, as well as its condition when it left. I drive the car twice a week to keep miles low it and it is 100% solid. The tires were done Feb of last year and have 5k miles on them. I am a member on multiple online automotive forums and i will be happy to provide references. I would never sell a car that has a problem without disclosing them. The only reason i am selling this amazing car is to make room for a Porsche Carerra, as stated at the beginning of this add.

Make note of his name, MLC-CL600. Today he sent me 3 separate emails about how he bought a different car(as if i honstly care lol). He said its a 2004 CL55. His name is Mitchel and his primary email is mcraddock9@aol.com, his second alias is CAMZ11@sbcglobal.net. He lives in Houston. Mbworld forums is a place where we take care of our own. We share our problems and our knowledge with each other. We rely on each other. Do we want someone with this kind of character stirring up problems? He has 5 post and joined MBWorld not to be a contributing member but to intentionally try and sabatoge my "For Sale" add because i would not meet his lowball offer. I vote he gets banned immediately. Even then he could come back with another user name. Watch out for this guy he is one of the most crooked people i have have dealt with in the car scene. I think his above post says everything about him.

Just got another harassing email from a guy named Uncle Sam at sam@aol.com. This character must have a lot of time on his hands creating alter egos.

BTW his phone number is 713-298-9708(Houston area code).

Wow this guy has some serious anger issues. I have never seen someone get so upset over a car LOL.

If most people thought they were getting taken advantage of they would just move on. For some reason you feel the need to somehow get back at me for not accepting less than 18K, and we both know thats what this is about. You didnt have 20k, or 19k, or 18k. You kept lowering your offer with no commitment to purchase. You never showed up. You were all talk. You called late at night asking if the car had little scratches here or there. You bragged about some sort of 11 sec Corvette you have. You emailed from 2 different names and you know it, and thats as shiesty as it gets. You see, the overall demeanor of your post suggests that you are not actually looking out for the well being of others, but serving some personal vendetta. You are litterally tying together what you think are coincidences and comming up with a conclusion you have made up in your head. How can you sit here and say the struts are leaking when you have never even seen the car. Are you delusional? As stated the tires are in great condition, 5k mi(i went and looked this up just for you buddy). The car overall is in excellent running shape. I did pay less than my original asking price, but i have also spent $2k in title and repair to the ABC. Also i knew right off the bat someone like you was gonna try to lowball me and i needed room to work with. This is how every car sale begins. Im loosing money at $20k as it is, and the car is a very good deal at $20k. Will i entertain an offer in the high teens? Possibly. I still support the fact that if this ABC fails and requires more than just a pump i would do a coilover swap, i dont think thats breaking news. I will be happy to let any potential buyer have a PPI done at any shop they wish. I will show every single repair document to the new owner before purchase.

Lastly, if you are going to continue being a moron on my thread please compile all your outbursts into one clean and concise post as i have. When you post 8 times in a row it makes it hard to read and you appear even more hysterical.

90-100HP is the standard tune, I don't think you'll do any better getting someone to write custom sw for 'only' 50HP. In fact it will probably cost more!

If you only want 50HP, just don't press down as far on the throttle.
