Why not part out some of the mods? - you got mods on this car that most prospective C32 buyers wont even know about.

Hey thanks alot man...Yea I really enjoyed this car but Im always switching so its time to move on. If I dont get want I want for the car Ill probably part out a few things but Im trying to not do that because that would mean I have to buy the stock parts to replace them and then switch them out...a long drawn out process.

Pms replied btw

Thanks

() <--- This is hysterical by the way...

Thumbs up Fs: 2002 C32 AMG STG 2+ All TSB's Addressed Many Mods Super Clean!

This car is for sale on Ebay with no reserve heres the link C32 on Ebay. Feel free to bid on it or make an offer on here:
My Email: Djanark2000@aol.com

Hi all,

For sale is my ~435HP/420TQ Stage 2+ 2002 (W203) Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG, VIN #WDBRF65JX2F265758. I searched for a long time to find one in this condition. This is my summer ride (a winter daily-driver is a necessity in North East for people who really love their cars), and is always garaged, always meticulously maintained with Mobil 1 in the crankcase, Redline in the diff and OEM PH-correct MB coolant (the orange stuff) in the radiator. The car has never been in an accident or re-painted, tracked or auto-crossed - clear title, clean Carfax, of course. Weak points were preemptively addressed to prevent problems from any known shortcomings of the W203 chassis (most detailed in TSBs). Basically, the buyer of this car will be getting a used Benz without used Benz problems. All upgrades are extremely clean and tasteful, and all performed within the last few thousand miles. I've also been an active participant on MBWorld and other forums so Ive done quite a bit of research for this car. This is the kind of car that would be a CPO car if you paid the upcharge to purchase it from a dealer.


Car Specifications:
____________________________________

Year: 2002
Color: Brilliant Silver Metallic (a $1200 option!)
Interior: AMG perforated graphite nappa leather with dark blue inserts
Engine: 3.2 liter supercharged V6
Transmission: SpeedShift 5-speed auto-manual (left flick to downshift, right flick to upshift)
Miles: ~75k
Non-smoker
Always garaged
No winters while in my ownership - rarely even sees rain as I have a separate poor weather/daily driver car (ford explorer)

Standard: You guys know all this stuff.

Options:I think mine has all U.S. options, except phone ( it has hands-free integration w/ nav and emergency roadsid, just not the phone itself - you need a Motorola)
Here is a list of a few features off the top of my head:
a) Navigation (COMAND) with voice stereo integration - will include the couple of discs I have as well.
b) Xenon High Intensity Discharge headlights
c) Front and rear side airbags
d) Power rear sunshade
e) Dual-stage heated seats
f) 6 disc Compact Disc Changer (OEM Alpine unit in glove box) - With iPod integraton in the glove box
g) Headlight cleaners (high pressure water, hidden in front bumper)
h) Metallic paint
i) Blue glass w/rain sensing windshield wipers
j) Integrated gate & garage-door opener (HomeLink in MB-speak).
k) Rear ski bag / pass-through


Mechanical Modifications:
____________________________________

$7,100 = Evosport Stage II + Installation
- 7" Crankshaft overdrive pulley
- Aluminum water pump pulley
- Aluminum alternator pulley
- Aluminum power steering pulley
- Two (2) belt tensioners w/ belt
- Ceramic Coated Performance Headers (these are $1500 + installation alone!)
- Denso Iridium IK16 Plugs (set of 12)
- Magnecor 8mm plug wires
- SL55 intake splitter and hose
- Green filters (2)
- Powerchip/evosport custom-tuned evolution 2 software

Power Gains (CA 91 Octane)*:
- +3 lbs Boost (0.2 bar)
- Improved air flow
- 435 HP (75-85 RWHP)
- 420 FT-LB (70-80 RWTQ)


*Note: this is Evosport's results on a Dynojet 248 dynamometer in Huntington Beach CA. for the same model car, same mods, assuming ~18% drivetrain loss.

$3,200 = Quaife ATB Differnetial + Installation - the stock C32 does not come with an LSD, and it desperately needed one!
$700 = Renntech springs (Renntech Products PDF) + installation - a popular way to get a nice 1.5" to 2" drop and dial out some understeer, without making the C32 too hard for the streets. Better than the H&R springs too, because they match the OEM shock damping rates. These are considered the best aftermarket spring for the C32, only beat by full coilovers.
$180 = Evosport pre-fabbed stainless resonator replacement pipe + installation - Nice, throaty sound but no drone. CARB legal, not emissions related. Resonator included.
$100 = Ford Lightning Intercooler pump upgrade including new OEM connector to allow easy r&r of future units of same type if necessary.


Performance:
____________________________________

This vehicle has not been tracked. However, similarly equipped C32s run around 4.3-4.5 second 0-60mph, 12.6-12.7 second 1/4 miles @ around 113-116mph, top speed 185-190 (search YouTube for "C32 Autobahn" for videos of Germans who did top speed runs with theirs).


Cosmetic Modifications:
____________________________________

I love a classy a sleeper so the cosmetic mods are very minimal.
- OEM 2004+ C32 AMG aluminum foot pedal set.
- Clear front corner markers (original ambers included).


Recent Maintenance / Other New Parts:
____________________________________

- $1100 set of Yokohama ADVAN S.4. ultra high performance all-season tires (less than 400 miles), Y-rated to in excess of 186 MPH but can still handle rain/light snow - the ultimate touring tire for this car (NOTE: Mercedes-Benz has a TSB out specifically listing the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S as not suitable for this chassis due to road noise). Tires have at least 65% tread left!
- New OEM windshield
- Front sway bar end links, bushings, etc rebuilt with OEM parts (starting to squeak and wanted to tighten up the handling). This is common to the W203 chassis - watch those other eBay cars!
- OEM Valeo radiator replaced/upgraded to Behr + new fluids as a preventative measure since the stock unit is a known failure point on this chassis.

Misc:
____________________________________

- There are the usual paint knicks from highway travel on the front fascia/bumper that I elected not to have re-sprayed because I thought it more valuable to be able to demonstrate with a paint gauge that this car has never had any body work of any kind. The knicks are very minimal and barely show at all.
- Clear coat chipped approx. 2.5" on left front rim.

Ok, finaly to the pics!






















Asking Price?
____________________________________
Start with base car value as of now (just looked while writing this post):
----------------------
............. Trade-In .....Private Party.....Dealer Retail
Edmunds: $20,316 ......$22,360 ...........$24,446
KBB: ...... $19,300 ......$20,290 ...........$23,390
NADA: ... $20,475 .......N/A..................$23,950

NADA is a dealer-centric site that doesn't publish private-party values.
Averaging private-party for the other two yields: $22,213

Add mods:
----------------------
Mechanical + cosmetic - $11,480

Total to recreate a C32 in this condition and trim:
----------------------
$22,375 base private-party + $11,480 mods = $33,855

As far as mods go, generally you simply never get all the money back for mods, but on the forums and other online sales venues, tastefully modded cars do get some adjustment upwards from stock. I've heard people say "you're lucky to get half the money back you put into mods", so to be fair and facilitate a quick sale or trade, I think I should skip that altogether and give the mods away for free!

So, my asking price is: $22,000 Considering the used values for this car.

All reasonable offers will be considered; please don't bother if you intend to lowball because I'm in no hurry to sell and I know this is a great starting price for a great car. I would like to point out that what I'm looking to get after mods is still less than dealers are trying to get for used C32s that aren't any cleaner, with similar mileage, unknown histories and no mods. Please, no tire kickers or joyriders - this is a serious car!

Also there will be no parting out...
Thanks for looking

I spoke to him on the phone and he said that he had a buyer coming from DC to look at it, i guess we'll just have to wait to find out.
