2003 E500 - Original Owner Clean title, car was paid for in cash.
Sport Package

* Lowering Links: $200
* Renntech V2 ELM: $1400 (my car has both the ELM + links installed). If car sit's too low, new owner can raise via 1) ELM settings 2) remove ELM and leave links 3) remove links and leave ELM and sell whichever is removed

* Front setup: Still original - no settling at all

Total spent on mods: $24,730

Kelly Blue Book Value (Very Good): $9427. Not excellent as car as a few door dings and normal wear & tear as expected.

***Asking Price: $15,000 firm***
Please PM if interested

Price obviously accounts for mods. I'm not interested in having conversation about how much a stock W211 sells for. Pricing is being targeted for someone looking to buy a W211 w/ the intention of modding similary. To those who are, they will see the value. To those not looking to mod as such, price will seem high.















[/QUOTE]












Pics of what new owner may want redone:

1) Respray front grill


2) Buff out curb marks from front lip (currently covered with Sharpie )


3) Re-align front bumper
I swiped the rear bumper of a truck pulling into a parking spot a couple years back, and never had this re-aligned. You can see the larger gap by the passenger side headlight

Not parting out. If the car doesn't sell, I'm keeping it and so still want it modded.

I can appreciate your persistence, but the answer is still no And will remain no to you and to all. Car is being sold or kept as is.

Not following you, but if you want to give me $15k for the wheels, I'll ship them to you at my cost.
