FS: Sprint Booster

Greetings all,

I'm selling my Sprint Booster, model BDD 451A, for all automatic transmission Mercedes-Benz cars (and Chrysler Crossfire). It's new in the original box with instructions. I loved it but had to take it out because my wife also has to drive the C32, and it made the throttle too touchy for her taste. $280 firm, shipped Priority Mail. Sorry, no PayPal. Money order or cashier's check. A personal check is fine if you are willing to wait a week for it to clear.

These pics were taken today:

Fits C230?

How come is so pricey?Is it because specially designed for C32?I thought it was 240 USD shipped brand new,read it somewhere.

SORRY, if I offended you with the price question,not really sure about the market.

No offense taken! I haven't seen it anywhere for that price, nor have I seen anyone who can deliver it right away since they come from Europe. In fact, I've seen people post here recently looking for them and saying they couldn't get responses from sellers who claim to be able to get them. If someone can point me to where they are cheaper and readily available, I'll drop my price. I don't want to gouge anyone here, but I paid that much and it's new in the box, priority mail shipping paid.

Oh - and it's not specific to the C32 or special otherwise. It's for all AT MB cars (and Chrysler Crossfires).

Yes. Bought it, put it in. Liked it, wife didn't. Took it out. I still call it new, because it was not used for any length of time and it is not a wear item. Perhaps I should amend my description: call it "like new in box" to use toy collector terminology

I just looked, and eBay is $280 plus shipping, for a total of $300. SLKfans is notoriously unresponsive/slow - search the forums and you'll see. It takes forever (at least two weeks after payment) to get one. I think it takes that long to get from any of these sources, because they are shipped from Hong Kong. The E55 forum guys got theirs for $250 in a group buy that is now over (STF to see that thread too), then they posted after it went back up to $300 shipped.

Regardless, I didn't know that you could even get one for less than $280, so to be fair I accept current market value. The first $270 takes it, and I can ship right away. I'm in the Midwest, so it can arrive on your doorstep anywhere in the US within 2-3 days from when I get payment.

If you email the guy from Ebay he will sell it to you for $275.00 shipped. So $270.00 for something used??? Good luck selling it for $270.00. I'll give ya $201.00 for it.

Hi all,

I've had a handful of good offers from people who want it immediately, so they want to use PayPal. A friend of mine has graciously allowed me to use his PayPal account to accept payment, so that avenue is open. I'll wait a day to see where this thread goes and then it's gone to the highest bidder.
