Lucky enough to own a 06 cls500 with Lorinser package in Mystic White
Hi all,
My 1st Benz was 01 ML55 AMG. Since then, I have had SL550 ( Brabus kit), SL55 04. My current ones are 07 S550 4matic ( wife daily) 06 cls500 with AMG kit, my daily. Last week, I was lucky enough to purchase a one owner cls500 with factory Lorinser package ( bumpers, side, exhaust etc..) with 47k miles. This is mystic white with designo interior. I'm not sure how rare this beast is. I remember this owner paid over $100k early '06. I ran into him at a local gym almost daily then. I said to him that I'd buy it I'd he decided to sell this down the road. 7 yrs later, he knocked on my door. It's a fate I guess.
What's so special about this?

No sir,
I paid less than $25k for this.
It's a price of new 4 cylinder Toyota Camry sir.
That's why I've stated " lucky enough" !!!
The car has original sticker of $79k plus the cost of the full Lorinser kit + exhaust + labor = over $100k. It's a designo interior as well.
Thanks for sharing.

"Great looking car. Really needs some bigger wheels."
You're correct. AMG 8/4 candy red brake kit freshly painted with new pads&rotors+ Maya Rm1 20" ( new) staggered set up, Carlsson ELM, and new tires just in.
I'll post pictures when I'm finish.
Waiting for carbon fiber trim from OCarbon.com now.
Alpine 7" + others are in as well.

For those buying brand new ( most ) some really dont mind if you can get the AMG version for the same or close to same price..that "breed" just wants what they want and AMG doesnt really appeal to everyone...
It almost always gives 2nd-3rd owners an advantage to get a better car after just a few years..

A few items installed
Hi All,
Though I was busy as h"ll, I was able to remove all factory wood trim & replaced them with OCarbon pieces.
No issues with fitment. I'm running wires for aftermarket DVD now.
I'll keep everyone posted later.
Thanks
