'03 Mercedes RENNtech 'R3' S600 AMG Sport FS
Ok, I'm reluctantly doing this but my wife wants us to have a smaller car since she's not one to enjoy the 650bhp anyway.
The car starts out with an AMG aero package (front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, monoblock wheels) from the factory, sticker price $138k. It was not an easy find for me in this condition when I bought it.
V12 Twin Turbo, 99k miles (have owned it for 2 years, since 80,600 mi). Only had one little problem since I've owned it: had the gear selector start to get hard to get out of park so I replaced the worn plastic lever with an aftermarket aluminum one so it lasts the life of the car. The rest of the car is pretty much top-notch--and every button works! It is also super clean (and I always keep it clean). It was originally an Oklahoma and Texas car. Since it's been with me in Kansas it's had NO snow driving. Also, it took a tie for 1st place at the KC MB club's Oktoberfest concours (tied with an '11 S65--no fair).
I also have 2+ years left on aftermarket warranty (exp 03/2015), which has been fine to work with. With it I replaced the Power steering/ABS pump since we thought it was making a little noise and that's it. I also had a couple of idler pulleys and two expensive oil lines replaced. Car also has new dust-free Akibono brake pads as of 3mos ago.
Car has new factory NKG R Iridium plugs 10,000 miles ago so you should be good for another 80-90k miles (I had them pulled at 82k miles and they looked great). Will also have "Service A" performed shortly,as well as an SRS light reset and/or fixed, before sale (has not been a problem for us til now). I have always maintained it with Mobile1 0w-40 synthetic at 5000 mile intervals, and it does not consume oil or coolant.
Car has been upgraded to RENNtech R3 650hp/800 lb-ft package since 82k miles, including:
RENNtech ECU
RENNtech TCU
RENNtech carbon fiber airbox
RENNtech/OS Giken 20-disk 0-100% lock rear differential (awesome)
RENNtech intercooler upgrade (full kit with extra heat exchanger, etc)
can refer to the mods here: http://www.renntechmercedes.com/www/node/841
Car also has a nice set of 19in RENNtech Monolite forged wheels--a whopping 15lb lighter per corner than the AMGs! I also have an uninstalled RENNtech lowering module to have the car sit lower if you wish--I never got to installing it, however.
Total mods equal to just under $26,000 plus labor. Car is smooth, ultra-quick (0-60mph in 3.7 seconds on all-season tires) and quiet. I am willing to sell the car $24,875 as-is, w/ warranty, and will include the extra set of AMG mono block wheels that came with the car, along with the original grill (15min install).
I am willing to negotiate the price down but will keep the carbon intake air boxes (still at 630bhp), Lowering control module, and/or Renntech wheels and sell separately.
Please excuse my last pic in the garage--only reason I include is to show where the car has resided (always garaged since I've owned it). This is info I would appreciate if I were looking for a car.
VIN#WDBNG76J63A351731, clean title in hand.
For any more info please contact me at PM332@hotmail.com, or (913) 626-2038. thanks! Pablo

Pics 13-17
2nd-to-last pic--just to show car in stock form with AMG wheels and stock grill (both of which I still have and will include).
excuse last pic--just to show it's been garaged since I've had it with plenty of room. Just info I like to have when searching for a car myself. thanks again.

lol, and now you know why I didn't originally put in the rear photos. Wasn't sure how people would take it. It's a joke obviously. And I'm sure during the election people thought it meant "Romni van". Thanks guys!
BTW, GenericSN--looks like you've created an ultimate family hauler yourself!
