Yes it has ventilated seats and keyless go. Also has the European Command head that in addition to Navigation, plays Video. As mentioned it also has Ipod integration and a radar detector built into the rear view mirror.

If there was a bell or whistle, it's in there!

Thanks for the compliment but parting it would be tantamount to taking apart a super model piece by piece!
Just couldn't do that to my baby.

BTW I take delivery of a new SL63 on Friday so I'm especially motivated now!

So, never did see a post of the correct runs? What kind of RWHP and tourque are we talking?

The seamless CF trunk is one of it's best attributes.
I hated the stick on spoiler piece that preceded it.

If you don't mind, what did the trunk cost you? Is the hood vented? I couldn't tell from the pictures.

The hood is not vented...if I remember correctly the trunk cost about $2.5k to purchase. Paint, installation were all extra.

100k into the car is easily believable considering brabus did all the work. A buddy contemplated building his CL65 for the texas mile at Brabus just recently the invoice was very close to 80k and that was only engine prep/install not a full turnkey...

Very cool unique car must be tough to part with. Ppl seem to under estimate how much quality work went into this. GLWS

I recently added it all up and can't believe how much I put into this car. At the end of the day our cars can never be looked at as investments but just total labors of love. Only a fellow enthusiast could understand this...

Oh BTW, it sold over the weekend!

You are lucky to have found someone who appreciated the work, and not only low ballers...
