..................Donnie at MBS has pulled the Kleemann s/c from my 03 G55. I will pick up my 05 G55 on monday. If anyone wants the s/c, they can have it for $7K. Donnie can have it installed for you at a price you and him agree. This will be at substantial savings compared to a new one. I have had the s/c for just a year and unlike my CLK, I have had no issues with it. My preference for the 05 G55 as opposed to the 03G55 with a Kleemann s/c is because I believe the 05 G55 is destined to be a classic. Donnie can be reached at 770 623 8485. If you are actually interested in this, you may wish to call him today as I do not think the s/c will be there much longer.

Ted

 

i would be all over this if you were located closer...

 

I don't quite understand... Is this for a CLK? or for a G? If it's for a CLK, I might be interested. Thanks!

 

Same motor, same blower. He had it in a G but you can put it in a CLK.

 

Chappy hop on this deal. If you get the blower you might have a chance of keeping up with me.

 

:v :v :v

 

It's probably too early in the morning to call Donnie but does anybody know about how much it costs to install one of these? I'm sorta interested, esp. since it's in Atlanta.

 

7K is a bit high for used S/C in my opinion... I will go get a new one with warranty for sure and that's it.

 

Thanks for your opininon. For someone like me, who doesn't have so much money, what do you think a used one should go for?

 

6K with install should be right. It's not like s/c is a car itself. it is just a part. retail is 11. should be around 6K installed with ECU setup. I don;t think this used one comes with kleemann warranty. So it should be even lower than that.

 

My brother made a deal with Ted (undisclosed amount) and agreed to meet at Donnie's shop today for the exchange. After withdrawing money from the bank and driving half way up (about 120mi), he gets a phone call from Ted telling him that he changed his mind. According to Ted, he decided to keep it for his 02 E55 project. I really hope that he was telling the truth and did not sell to a better offer.

This is not the way to do business.

 

Hey Rafi, if your willing to spend 7 g's on a used s/c, why not get a brand new one for the same price at HPS. From their site, the price their offering goes for all the mercedes and that's not including install which is $1500 (yikes!). I don't know jack sh** about that company on their quality or workmanship but that's some FYI for ya.

Oh yea Rafi, your not concerned about engine problems if you decide to put a s/c on your car? I know that our CLK 55's have a high compression ratio, and normally, a car with turbo or s/c would have low comp. ratio. For example, if you take a look CLK 55 (w209), it basically has the same engine as E55, CL55, SL55 but without the s/c. Yet they have a lower compression ratio then CLK 55.

............I feel obligated to defend myself since you have gon public on private matter. I was to meet your brother at 3pm in Atlanta. Last night he estimated his drive to be 3hrs. I called him at noon to inform him that I decided not to sell the s/c. He did not express any hostility or corncerns about this until I see this post. I understand that you and/or your may be dissappointed by not getting a s/c for half price. But the item is mine, I received no deposit or any funds from you or your brother. THE S/C IS NOT SOLD FOR A HIGHER PRICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I simply decided not to sell it, because I found an W208 E55 that I could use the s/c in. You can confirm with Donnie that this is true. Please be a bit more responsible before making accusations in an open forum.

Ted

 

Since you said yourself you don't know sh*t about HPS I'll fill you in. To make a long story short, go with Kleemann. You get what you pay for. HPS got chased off this forum awhile back because their prodcut caused many problems and their representatives were childish, unprofessional and unhelpful. Supposedly their Gen II system is better but buyer beware. I would strongly urge you to go with a different company.

 

I didn't accuse you of anything. I just stated the facts.

Usually when I tell somebody they have a deal then it's done, no matter what. You never requested a deposit. Both of you agreed on the price and terms.

I just find it hard to believe that you found another car and changed your mind all in one night. If you did, good for you and good luck with that project.

BTW, 208 is a CLK not E.

 

whatever it is, deal is a deal. It's not right to deviate from the deal because there is no written contract or the owner changed his mind. What a load of crap. BTW, I am not associated with anyone here. Don't feel upset, it was overpriced anyways. Just forget about it and send your car to kleemann USA after saving money. That way, you can guarantee the work and warranty from them.

 

Thanks.

 

OT J
How's the kleemann stuff? LSD? headers etc. How do you like the sound and performance? Got anymore video clips or pic of the headers?

I didn't deviate from the deal because there was no written copntract. I simply decided not to sell my anymore..........I have an item that I own and decided not to sell afterall. How does this make me a bad person? I can see if I took your money and didn't produce the item. This is the VIN number (WDBJF4J5YB048297) of the car I found this morning. The seller is a guy called David at Millenium Motor Works. His number is 407-647-2299. I truly do not see how I have wronged anyone in anyway, other than I should have called sooner..........but I was in a meeting and the earliest I could call was at noon. I actually adjorned the meeting early so I could call the buyer before he left Alabama. You guys are claiming not be accusing me of wrong doing, yet you are attacking my intergirity in an open forum. If you find it hard to believe that I found a car, call David at Millenium motor works and confirm. Please lets talk about other things. If the s/c was overpriced anyway, he should be celebrating that he did not waste his money on my worthless overpriced s/c. Besides I had a friendly conversation with him, I appologised for not being able to call him sooner than at noon and he thanked me for calling him as soon as I could. Am I missing something? Is this the first time you have encountered an item that was no longer for sale? I advertised this s/c I belive on 5/2/05. I got no response. So I decided to figure out a way to use the s/c myself. This morning I got a call informing me about the E55, so I called Miullenium Motor Works and took it and I called the guy who wanted to buy the s/c and informed about it. Please, lets end this.

..........By the way, the car is a W210 E55, not W208. Thanks for the correction.


Ted

 

As far as I know, even though the V8 Kleemann Kompressor itself is universal, the accessories used to connect the kompressor are DIFFERENT and will NOT be sold separately

Anyone, any idea, how a Kompressor from the G wagon can fit CLK or E? Thanks in advance.

 

..............The same technician that put the s/c in the G, pulled it from the G and is available to install it in any MB V8 from 2000 onwards. I imagine that you are correct that some connections might need to be purchased separately. I have personally been in a W202 C55(ie C43 with a transplanted W210 engine) that had a Kleeman s/c pulled from an M-class. So I don't think it is much of an issue.

Ted

 

Ted, there must be some misunderstandings here.

T: I didn't deviate from the deal because there was no written copntract. I simply decided not to sell my anymore...

J: Yes, this is deviating from the deal. You promised/advertised that you would sell the product and did not. You guys seem to set up a meet to exchange money and S/C as well..

T: I have an item that I own and decided not to sell afterall. How does this make me a bad person?

J: I never said you are a bad person, it is just not right to put out a product you own in the market or in the forum and make a deal and not sell it after all right just because you wanted to keep it at the last moment. After all, it's yours and you can do whatever you want with it. No one should have any complaints about it.

T: I can see if I took your money and didn't produce the item. This is the VIN number (WDBJF4J5YB048297) of the car I found this morning. The seller is a guy called David at Millenium Motor Works. His number is 407-647-2299.

J: It's not that people do not trust what's going on with this thing. It's just about the way the deal was closed.

T: I truly do not see how I have wronged anyone in anyway, other than I should have called sooner..........

J: Yes, That's the point. If someone was upset or unhappy about the whole deal because it was notified later, you should have backed a bit and apologize because, obviously, you hurt his feelings and hopes. Whether it is public or not, he was simply stating how he feels about the deal. Even though he said ok on the phone, he might not be ok after all.

T: You guys are claiming not be accusing me of wrong doing, yet you are attacking my intergirity in an open forum.

J: I did not say what you did is wrong. I mean that what happened was not a good way of dealing with the other members. You cross posted this message to sell it and even made a deal with a person and suddenly backed off with a short notice when the money was ready. How would you feel if you were the buyer? Mistake is a mistake.

T: If the s/c was overpriced anyway, he should be celebrating that he did not waste his money on my worthless overpriced s/c.

J: Kleemann S/C is one of the best solution to upgrading hp and tq for our cars. I don't doubt that. It is reliable and has proven itself over and over. The reason of overprice is that 7K S/C with 2K install runs about 9K used when some new one can cost reasonably with a bit more money. (I would not write the price here but I know there are good deals out there, because I was about to do it.) But for who wants the kit ASAP with cheaper price, your S/C could be the way to go. But as you know 2nd hand product will most likely be not covered by K's warranty. That should lower the price even more. Am I wrong here? Cars work the same way. No warranty cars depreciate hard. Why not on a S/C part? That should give an idea to some potential S/C buyers about what is right or wrong when they buy a used stuff.

No one is attacking your integrity in this forum. You are honest about why it happened and what is going on. But the price was a bit high IMO and it is just MO , no more no less. You did what you had to do. Just let's leave it at that.

 

Dude move on, and how long did it take you to type out your post anyway? So, the guy changed his mind. What's the big deal? No harm, no foul.

 

Wow, thanks for filling me in Rafi. First I thought, it seemed too good to be true for that price but now I know why. I guess I didn't do my homework well enough, and I honestly thought I did by searching and searching after months and after months. Now I don't have to decide on that company whether or not I should go with them, but as you probably know, I have a definte answer now.

 

I moved on after I wrote it. So Chill out!
