What do you guys think con the pricing of this BS?

Is it just me or this car is priced waaaay high? I mean, all I have to do is compare to the other ones right next to it on my screen.

knock off 5%~10% off from their asking then is think it's a pretty good deal for the mileage.

See, there's another one on eBay with only 9.5k miles and the asking price is $7k less; that's just the asking price. Could that mean that the actual sales price would be even less?

I think this one sets the bar. All a matter of one's perspective. In fairness to this dealership, it is a white model which I understand are the rarest and fastest of all the BS's, next to red ones of course.

$129K for that car is absurd. What their hoping for is someone who wipes their butt with $100 bills making an impulse buy...few and far between, but they're out there. At that price, 12 months from now, it will still be sitting on their lot.

This dealership, Kings auto or something like that, is hella wack... almost a year ago they had another white one listed, in the $8Xk's, I was in the market so I emailed them after sleeping on it for about a week or two, but then their rep said car's been sold for more than a month, I said okay fine let me know when another one comes across, after that, I get about a dozen spam mails from them every week, told them to remove me from the email list, they said they would but every time I sent a notice, there's more spams in return, on top of that I get emails regarding to that white one they sold... c'mon, really? While this happened for a good month or two, that white car was still listed on autotrader, till this $120K one replaced it in their listing, I bet you this car isn't there in their lot currently if someone asks them (God forbid don't use your email to reach them)... 0.o

That's sneaky of them, knowing there people are in the market searching for that color with those low miles... Don't have your dollar, but coffee on me if you're ever in town! :P

I went back and re-read their ad (the part before it turns into incomprehensible gibberish). Apparently it's the rarest of the rare - a low mileage one-owner white CLK Black Series convertible (retractable hardtop from the pic). Probably is worth the premium. There's gotta be a buyer out there. Some Tony Montana type, like, immediately after taking a humongous hit of blow but before being shot to death. It's a creampuff!

LoL!! Not sure about the retractable hard top, but I can't argue with the Tony Montana theory. Is that a body in the trunk on Pg 11 photo?

Hope not. Probably isn't in compliance with the rear axle weight restrictions. In any case, the black is more of an "evade the police" than a "dispose of the bodies" sorta vehicle.

We off topic yet?

Fastest? Is this fact or just an opinion?
