I want to buy a Black Series. Who's got one?

Guys,

Time to add a Black Series to the stable. I've been wanting one (and lusting for one) for about a year now and I think I'm going to pull the trigger sometime in 2011, maybe early 2012.

I'd prefer white, but I'm open to silver or red. I'd say I'm open to black but as clean as I keep my cars I just can't do a black car.

email is the best way to reach me: mark.chapparone@gmail.com


Thanks

I'll be either selling or trading mine on a SLS come March/April 2012, but its Black. Looks great when clean, but hard to keep it that way.

Driven one on the interstate and around Road Atlanta. It's different in the ways I'm looking for. I love the Black but I don't get to track it more than once a year due to my schedule (surgeon), so it feels like I bought a race horse to run errands and take trips. Looking for more of a GT but I don't want a convertible or something without the M156/157 engine. So I'm putting the Black up for sale between now and then, and if it doesn't sell, no big deal since I will be trading anyway.

BS is a fun car to drive and I really enjoy the car. I am planning to get a SLS Amg or a LP700. My friend just bought a white LP700 and I felt in love with it. I need to sell one of my cars in order to persuade my wife to get a bigger toy.

You still have the original rims? When I was looking for mine I wanted as close to stock as possible. First impression would be around $85000 give or take a grand or two, given the market and the going rate of cars that are selling.

I was referring to Grahams but now that he made it public it's no longer a secret. Just buy Grahams, it was owned by another member (ChuckZ) and the car was always spotless and very well taken care of. Graham has invested in headers, wheels, carbon interior and the Weistec Supercharger. You could not build one for what Graham is asking for his and you would be hard pressed to find a cleaner example.

Perfect is an understatement, you could eat out of the wheelwells, the under carriage was clear than most cars body's. Chuck was a little ****, but thts a good thing for the people that get his handme downs.

"I'd be willing to sell it for $88,000"...I bet you would LOL. $88k with over 18K miles on it? Good luck with the sale on that one, I think you are $10k-$12k off the mark, the highest listing I have seen in months for a BS was $81,000 with 1200 miles and I think it actually sold for $78k. Highest listed BS I can find today is $79,900 and it has 4000 miles on it. Unless you have some significant mods and/or wheels on your car you won't fetch close to that. Grahams car has a fraction of the miles of yours and $35k plus in mods and an extra 130 rwhp and could probably be snatched up for $100k.

clk63theb, if you are willing to work on your price then let's talk.

Guys, thank you all very much for your insight and input up to this point. It really means a lot to me and it goes to show what this forum (and more specifically this sub-forum) is all about.

Not true. Of the eight cars for sale on eBay four are over $81K.
