F/S: 2003 Brabus E55 K8 - Blacked Out (Queens, NY)
I have for sale my Obsedian Black 2003 E55 with Brabus K8 package.
This vehicle has been garage kept since I bought it brand new from Rallye Motors in 2003.
Around February of 2006 I sent the car out to California to have Brabus perform a complete overhaul of the vehicle, from engine to styling, both inside and out this car was completely changed. I have put well over $100k into this car and it has been a dream to own. It was/is meticulously kept and detailed on a regular basis by a professional detailer on long island.
I have decided to sell the car because I am looking to get myself into another a black series SL.
Below is a vast amount of information, including pictures, describing the car in its current state.
PRICE: $45,000 OBO
There are a lot of modifications so I will try to keep it down to the important ones:

Mileage is 68K but you could never guess by looking at it. It is PERFECT inside and out. Immaculately maintained and always MB serviced.
Drove the car on many great road trips and it is to date the most fun and dependable car I've ever owned.
Thanks for all the nice comments guys!

Beautiful car and nicely done as others have stated. Please clarify your 100K in mods statement. I can tell you spent a bunch on it but can't fathom getting up to 100k.
Thanks,
Warren

Suffice it to say Brabus is not cheap...the carbon fiber hood and trunk were $10k by themselves.

Good Gosh Man! I thought you were adding the original purchase price plus mods
I read that you have quite a bit in electronics too so it obviously adds up fast.
I hope you are able to sell it near your asking price considering the total amount you have spent. I really don't have an interest but do appreciate all you have done to the car.
Best of luck,
Warren

You probably already know, but in this market nobody is going to pay 45k for a 2003 with that mileage. I say 30k maybe, but still a stretch. Most people are very weary with cars that have been altered that much. GLWS.

If your interested in parting it I would love to buy the cf hood, trunk, lower lip and the interior. I'd be able to source another E55 interior for the car if you were willing. I'm local. Beautiful car and great taste you have
