Hotel purchase w/ friends may mean the v12 twin turbo is for sale

wow, she MIGHT BE FOR SALE -- because I may be going in partners and buying a hotel down the jersey shore!

if anyone is interested let me know... the car is under FULL warranty till 101k miles or 4/2015!!!! In addition to pics, it has SL63 trunk spoiler, and full 6000K lighting (led parking lights, license plate lights, and low beams) plus new rear tires (fronts only have 600 miles)..

anyways, i am so not 100% on doing this.. I just have a really sweet opportunity to buy a hotel with a few buddies and keep a few rooms for ourselves, and can use this money to do that and make my payment a lot sweeter...


if interested PM me an offer... With warranty + tires + more mods.. I still can do the car for under $50k..

The car without warranty and stock at manheim is going for $35-37k with these miles.. (plus fees, transport, and fixing the car up).. this car is a creampuff AZ car and no problems on carfax/autocheck..

I can sell with or without warranty..

I don't know if I will even do this.. because its a once in a lifetime car.. its basically an SL65.. if you put ecu/tcu tune for $1699 the car is as good as an 07 SL65, and looks like 1... for a fraction of the cost.

Just making money and getting a couple free rooms in a nice place (and I love the beach) - makes me even ponder this so let me know via pm or respond here that you msged me.


As far as mods go:

MODS:

20x9 Maya MRS Powder Coated Matte Black Centers/Gloss Black Lips
20x11 Maya MRS Powder Coated Matte Black Centers/Gloss Black Lips
Vredestein 255/30/20 (front) 295/25/20(rear) but these are like 305s on other brand tires
Renntech ELM
Floored Fab Custom exhaust (Jet Hot coated black)
BMC Air Filters
All the fins and door handle pieces paint matched to the car
07 SL65 Bumpers
07 SL65 3 fin grill
07 SL65 LED Tails
07 SL65 Front
07 SL65 3rd break light
Painted headlights similar to how it is on an SLR
Matte black custom paint scheme


1 thing to note ***The exhaust on the car sounds insane!!! Chris did an amazing job***

Up next is an ECU / TCU tune :-) Marcin from SpeeDriven is running a special if you get both through him

speedriven tuned cl65 goes 10.70 @ 134: SpeeDriven CL65 10.70@134.30 - MBWorld.org Forums
















Couple interior shots.. and to notice that there isn't the usual wear on the driver bolster.. mint sides, mint interior.. nothing to note.


I am also going to try and get a vid of the exhaust.. (basically sounds a notch sweeter than the SL65 stock). No drone whatsoever, its actually quiet.. hard to make a turbo car real loud without straight pipes. You can't hear it inside with the radio remotely on. Sounds intoxicating outside the car!


I am going to ebay it if I don't find someone (it will sell for at least that, a non sport package sl600 same miles with NO WARRANTY sold for $42,888 last week).. just sending a personal message to everyone who inquired about the car and giving someone a great deal.


Mercedes-Benz : SL-Class: eBay Motors (item 150438714583 end time May-08-10 07:37:04 PDT)

That is the car... how hideous without the sport package? Let alone $20k in mods like mine has

Warranty till 4/2015 or 101k so it has another $5k in goodies (new wheels, sl63 spoiler, all the lighting, etc)










Right now can do the car for $45,800 without warranty or $48,900 with warranty till 4/2015 or 101K

YeahI did. They are still on the car till the new wheels come - Should have the new wheels, by mid/end of this week. They are the IWC wheels.. the avant garde m328 wheels. I got them powdercoated in a Satin black finish.

The new 19" avant garde m328 wheels are on! Traction is MUCH improved.. car also feels lighter and more nimble than with the 20" wheels.

TTT for memorial day. Buy it and make me jealous and have it all summer. If I didn't need it gone to get the mortgage, I'd wait till October and sell it!

I didn't take it for a few reasons

1) It was the 1st time even listing the car


2) I was trying to limit my losses

3) For the amount of loss I am taking, I would figure I would drive the car till summers end if need be (my monthly payment is only $348 on the car with 3.9% interest, so it really doesn't matter if it sells by end of August).


4) I had 2 sale pendings at $46,500 and $47,000 respectively.

I would like the car to go, and at $45500 that number can work.. To take less I start to say, why take these 4 digit losses... your monthly payment is $348 - and 3.9% interest.. enjoy the car while you have it..


-Mike

I have a couple that is trying to come over the weekend to see the car from DC, and also had a gentleman in Long Island very interested

Your car will sell but these super high end cars do have a very small market of potential buyers. Funny thing is I was talking to my boss the other day who has an e350 about the e55 and he is like why would anyone pay a 40K premium for a car that is basically the same car with a bigger motor. So there are lots of people that think these are just overpriced.

its a lot more than a bigger engine.. its a completely different automobile. not to be a dick or anything but i have a pretty nice c class but my car is absolutely nothing compared to a c63.. even a c55 has dramatic differences all around. i do agree that the market of potential buyers is quite small, but let me tell u, ide trade my abuelita for this car
