For Sale 2008 Black CLKBS $76,000

I had so much fun in this car but I have to let it go in order to get another toy. The car has only 17,200 miles and it is in a great shape. I never had a chance to take it to the track but I am impressed what this car can do on my weekend drive at PCH. Below is the list of modification.

-WOW Airbox with K&F filters $700
-15MM spacers in the rear and 10MM spacers in the front $200
-Satin Orange Wrap by DBX "best in the business" $3,500
-Black out rims and emblems $600
Total modification cost I spent is $5,000

I am selling it for $76,000. If you are interested, please text me at 562-237-4912. Thanks.

Should be second week of January, along with the SLS BS DOG, I was on a chat session on PL a few weeks ago and they said second week of January. I am ordering an SLS BS so I have been following the dates pretty closely.

Ah, awesome. Thanks for the info! I'll have to start following the dates closely, as well. Don't want a repeat of my C63BS shopping pain.

Sweet ride.

Not meant as criticism, only as helpful and one guy's opinion: I think you'll sell this much easier if you remove the wrap. The color is so unusual it's not going to appeal to very any people + I assume the paint underneath is pretty flawless.

That is a bummer you have let it go. Let's make a trip to Cars & Coffee this weekend for one last show! I am sure you can get some leads on it with you put a "for sale" sign on it. It is one beautiful ride.

If I remember right, there was some issues with the paint, which is why he went with the wrap.

I like Guppy, he's always been a straight shooter and this car looks awesome with the orange wrap but if there is paint damage and a damaged diffuser $76,000 is pretty high. I just saw a very clean 10k mile black BS sell at a local dealership for $72K about two months ago, the only flaw on the car was it needed rear rubber(don't they all? LOL) otherwise it was mint.

I parked my car in front of my business and left a for sale sign. Someone offered me $66,000. Is that reasonable?

You know what you have in it so if you think it is a fair price then sell it!

I'd say it's a good price for your mileage with the paint issues underneath the wrap. I'm seeing similar mileage cars in mint condition sell in the high 60's range.

edit - n/m, I thought your car had 12k miles, but that's from the old thread. At 17k miles, I'd sell right away at 66k.

The initial asking was way too high. There's several cars asking high 70's to high 80's and they've been sitting around forever.
