I think that's it for now, I can't remember what else I have on the car. haha. post or PM me if you're interested. Once again, this is just a feeler to see if I can get any potential buyers. If a deal goes through with a car I want to get then the car will definitely go for sale or I might keep it. Who knows...

If you were closer, I would consider it....looking at 4-door W124 and W210s to be the kidmobile. Which AMG are you looking at?

CDP

Can't say which car I'm hoping to get soon.

Wow, man... after just putting on all of those mods?!

Would you only sell it if people are willing to pay a premium for the mods? Cuz you might have a really hard time finding somebody to buy it if the price is way above blue book.

At least finish the body work before you sell it (j/k). Seriously though, what has prompted this? I don't see why you would want to sell it since you have spent so much time/ money preparing it for SoCal Euro this summer.

BTW, you know I would buy it if I could sell mine, I am moving up to an E420 or 500E next anyways, and your car is the perfect fit for what I want. If you sell this you better buy the Mafia car before some futz buys it. That car is a steal at $18k.

ummm...wtf? Come with me to buy our cars then

Federic0W124

**** the only car i would give up my W124s for would be
a 211 AMG E55.
Good luck to you chris. Your car would make
someone very happy.

C36 C42? or something more powerful?

CDP

I was going to get something more powerful.

then again - changed my mind/deal didn't go through so I'm keeping the car and gonna finish it. Can't leave my W124 brothas just yet.

myfirstbenz

why not just get an S/C for the M119 Honestly, having driven a C32 and a clk 55, nothing feels like the w124 and if you add more power you will have a winner.

Payson

I would reconsiderate, think that you wont find any car with the quality of the W124, and in ur 420 u have got 280 hp, much more than what you need, compared to an e55 whats the difference 70 hp? (W210 e55)

Bye

I found sources for a aftermarket tuner in Germany and they make performance cams for the M119 engine. I'm going to look into it more and ask my buddy if it's worth it and if the company is reliable (which they seem to be). We'll see how things go.
