NOOOOO, This can't be... you are not getting older... you are just gettong more mature...

Always a pleasure to look at your car...

JamE55

Danny you bastiid! Keep it mang! Just pick another one up. So you'll have 2 Benzos!

lowphat

MM - you have one of the top 3 CLK's in my book - good luck with the sale which hopefully will be "feelered" out of existence so as to keep you as a member of our little CLK "gruppe"

mmgrad

thanks guys... i love this car and i told myself i would drive it until it dies, but, my wife & i have a kid on the way and this car isn't the greatest for a baby... my wife doesn't want me to get rid of the car cause she knows i like it, but, i think its the right move...

as for getting a 2nd benzo, we are in the market to get a new house, so, can't lay down the cash for a 2nd ride... at least not right now

newguy2008

Those Carlsson rims kill me every time.

AWESOME!!!

BklynBenz

damn, sad to see her go - always one of my fav and nicely modded w208's.

(now watch out here comes a vulture, lol)
danny if you decide to part anything out can you pleas let me know more specifically the front bumper and wheels?

thanks matt

(shoot me an email at bklynbenz@gmail.com if anything, i cant get pms on here while on probation)

OT: lowphat, man i never forgot about you and the rear lorinser bumper, shoot me an email and ill forward more info to you about the one that is for sale

Danny, I'm interested in the Carlsson Wheels if you are planning to part out. I'm located in Nor.Cal.

Thanks

midget fidger

oooo nice car! congrats on the kid

mmgrad

lol... looks like there more interest if I piece out the car... I'll hold on to all the PMs and if thats the route I go, I'll contact everyone in that order...

mmgrad

bump... ttt

$26,000/$31,000 for MBWorld members... will also entertain serious offers

Cohiba

Wow! I am seriously considering this offer. What city do you live in? I'm in Downey.

mmgrad

i'm in the San Gabriel Valley - (626) area code...

let me know if you are seriously considering. I have a buyer with a preapproved loan from up north who is pratically ready to buy... but she wants it stock and i really dont want to go through all the trouble of putting it back to stock

Dan Wang

Whenever it come to return on investment (even though one shouldnt see their car as an investment), it is almost always best to part out the car and sell it as stock. Just some advice.

mmgrad

i absolutely agree with that statement... thats my advice i give to everyone who sells their car here... thanks for watching out..

mmgrad

~ ~ ATTENTION VULTURES ~ ~

As I'm getting more interest in my car as stock, please see my posting here: PARTING OUT W208 PARTS

Cohiba

just sent you a pm

mmgrad

response sent & appointment made... cya tomorrow...

CurYousGee

whats next danny? which 4 dooir baby hauler are you considering?

mmgrad

most likely an E500... don't want to wait for the E550

doramon

would it fit my 18's? offset r 35 8.5 front and 9.5 rear and my friend would like to get the brabus suspension but would it fit all w208? his is a clk 200 thanks

attached r my rims thanks...btw i want those BBK....thanks

SFBAYCLK55AMG

PM sent!!!

What's up Danny, let's do this!!!

mmgrad

sorry everyone... as mentioned before, I can't commit to parting ANYTHING out until I know for certain the car will be sold as stock.... those who responded first will get first dibs WHEN AND IF the car is sold stock... if the car is sold AS-IS, nothing will be parted out.

I will keep everyone posted.

mmgrad

Everyone who responded with interest in the car or the parting out of the car, or just with compliments about the car, thank you very much for the interest.... but, THE CAR HAS BEEN SOLD!!!... The new owner flew down from Oregon and took the keys & title... I was sad to let go, but, the deed is done.

If someone sees my car up in Beaverton with a hot young chick driving, she's the new owner... I hope she takes care of my baby... she mentioned that she drives her car hard (or carelessly, broke her 350Z bodykit 6 times in 6 months - yikes!)

Car was SOLD AS-IS... so, NOTHING is left to part out....

On to get another Benzo to fit my baby, most likely an E-Class... Its been great hanging with the W208 crowd and I definitely won't be a stranger here... but, I may be spending more time in the W211 forum soon...

newguy2008

Congrats, I think.

Kinda feel sad too for ya. I know what its like to sell a car that you have been attached to.
