i've put my coupe up for sale on e bay today
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...%3AMESELX%3AIT,
if its gona sell i'll stick with the 500e, and start workin on that car. but still i'm heart broken , which one wold u guys keep?

ohlord

a 300CE?
Should sell real quick as long as you don't hope to get even a fraction of what you put in.
Keep the 500 but don't put 15K into it that you will never get back out.

geosss

yep thats what i did, only the body work and paint got me to more than 4k, plus the rest as you can see. and i was about to even swap the engine, but theyre askin betwen 10k to 20k for labour only, and that is to much

Whats up w the coupe? Salvage title, lots of nice goodies. Care to share reserve?

Saijin_Naib

Keep both

geosss

when i'm driving the cupe i want to keep that, when i'm driving the 500 e i'm crazy about that car. i would totally keep bouth if it wasn't to live in arental with no garage

geosss

i got it salvage florida title,cause i knew i'm gona modify it and it was a pitty to get a mint car and cut it,
this one had 97k when i got it and it was rear ended and poorly fixedeverything alse though in great cond . i had it profesionally fixed and + did the wide body. and also i had to replace the head gascket and the engine wire harnes . i'm not really looking to sell it. i mean even if i put it up for sale , part of me still wants to keep it, cause i know it inside out, got everithing rite one it, so if i will get the right price for it il sell it other wise will keep it till i die, thats why the reserve is over10k

guys, i passed this car up on the highway one day with no idea who owned the car even after 7-8 months i haven't forgotten how epic and perfect this thing looks when its rolling...

geosss

geosss

bsmuwk

my bad hahaha

no man my cars still messed up...i have to do my exhaust too lol
just so busy with school

It's a keeper- hard to imagine that reserve working out although it is a beauty.

A few suggestions for that eBay ad...
"Proofread"
"spellcheck!!"

When I see an ad offering a nice item, but spelling errors are laced throughout, maybe it's just me, but I come to think that the individual's attention to detail is low...and worry the car may have suffered the same fate, hence they are looking to unload a car which needs loads of details addressed.

Also, if there is any way you can show pics that do not suggest this car is suffering (along with many of us) during the winter / snow season, that may help. seeing a car w a salvage title, an ad with loads of errors, and the car sitting out in the weather...I began to think $5k (or less).

Not to say it is not worth more, but presentation is huge. That car presented on a silver platter would turn heads and get more money, no doubt.

Actually, listening to you, lol, I think you set the sale to fail.

geosss

thanks for the advice, when i'll really have to sell it ill keep that in mind, as you see this is a one 30 min project. got some pics uploaded it and put it for sale, without a detail cleaning or stuff like that.but that is good stuff, thank you i'll keep that in mind.im not in a rush to sell it

geosss

here is the othere love of my life http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ELX%3AIT#v4-40, may be i am crazy but i just love these cars.
when i'm driving the coupe i want to keep that, when i'm driving the 500 i want to keep this one, so i don't know how to combine them.

canonball

what did you do for the dash lighting?

zach1328

If you love them that much then im sure there is a way to work it out to where you get to keep both cars.
You don't have a buddy that wouldnt mind keeping the car in their garage until you find something to do with it?

geosss

i got a plasma cluster lights , and installed it, you have to look for moman on the german ebay, it does all kinds of colors, the only disadvantage is that it is only in km not in miles, if u need helpe installing it i can helpe you out, or further info let me know.

canonball

never heard of them, where did you get them?

geosss

, i know what you mean i have where to put it for a month or two but that won't solve anything, i'm tryin to figure it out for the long run.

it is only on the german ebay, you will find a lot of things there the only disadvantage is theat the prices r in euro , so there expensiver, and you will have to pay for the shiping wich will cost also a little bit more

canonball

thanks!

geosss

no problem man, let me know if you need anything akse
