Possibly selling my car.....

I am pondering the possibility of selling my car. Please keep in mind that I am in no rush and will hold out for what I think to be a proper offer, so I ask please no unrealistic low-ball requests. This is a rare opportunity to own what I consider a very rare car. For those of you who dont know the car here is a quick rundown:
-2005 Mercedes CL600 33k miles
-AMG Tuned ECU & TCU (only one in existence)
-Fully loaded except for Distronic and Trunk Closer
-Full custom exhaust from turbos back, cats removed
-Custom 5 gallon trunk mounted reservoir with dual intercooler pumps
-CL65 Heat Exchanger
-Volk LE37 1 piece forged rims 19x8.5 (19lbs) 19x9.5 (21lbs) with fresh Toyo T1r tires, less than 500 miles on tires
The car has never been hit and is in pristine condition mechanically and cosmetically. I used to own a detailing company so the paint is in immaculate condition with zero dings. Meticulously maintained by a friend who is Benz tech. One year left on Mercedes factory warranty.
This is the first and only 600 in the 10's without nitrous, and currently the 4th fastest non-NOS Benz in the country. I have dynos verifying 555rwhp and currently should make close to 570rwhp+
Please feel free to email or PM me offers.

Hey Jason. We have not spoken in a while. Hope all is well with you. I too wanted to get rid of my car a few times and it still crosses my mind on occasion. I can't imagine how fast your car would be with the VRP set up. I thought for sure you were going to jump on it. Any particular reason you want to change cars? I love the power / torque of the 65 engine but I sometimes want more toys that come in the newer cars such as a better stereo, bluetooth, nicer navigation, etc... all integrated to a more technological command unit. I am actually interested in the new XF-R Jaguar when it comes out. I doubt I will get it but it looks great, has a lot of technology, and by no means is it slow. It's just not a torque monster like our current cars. Anyway, I get the itch now and then to also get rid of my car but since Jody got the VRP upgrade then I have no choice but to follow in his footsteps. Good luck with the sale and I'll get the word out to help with your sale.

Larry

you are not going to like the price your car will fetch wholesale.. or retail for that matter.

just set your expectations correctly or.. hold on to it.

the problem is that you already have the itch to change it so time is running against you and.. see my opening statement..

But.. but.. but.. but you said you'd rather get buried in it than let it go for the current market prices?

How much do you really expect someone to pay for your car?

LMAO I have a brother in law that thinks if he owns something it is worth more. Everything I get is always worth more before I buy it then when I want to sell it.

Have you established an "asking price"? I thought that was required in any for sale listing, but then again, I see you're in charge, so you can probably do what you want.

I'm in Jersey, so I know not to ask a Boss too many questions...
