hey, the html of your auction is a little messed up. instead of shrinking the pictures with photoshop, they're shrinked by the browser so it ends up looking weird. see my two attachments, the first one is the original picture, the second is what you have on ebay, and the third is the original reduced with photoshop. imo, it might help in selling the car

What I don't get is, who's going to warrenty this car? Even if it is starmarked, with all the mods I doubt that mercedes will even consider covering most everything

Mercedes has been covering the car for the past 33,000 supercharged miles and legally will continue to do so unless something I have added to the car causes a problem.

Thanks. I already have a good idea of what the winning bid will be. Unfortunately, CLK's just don't have that high of a resale value anymore.

Yeah the 86 will definately keep its value. My 86 is great, totally worth the money, she's the reason why I ditched the CLK. . Driving is definately more fun than showing.
