Umm.....yeah.....

My original question still stands: What kind of suspension set-up are you running on your S430? Springs, shocks, etc... and how many miles on that set-up?

DUDE, what is wrong with all yo upeople...I agree hes askign too much..just let him know without saying...OMG< DUDE THATS WAAAY TOO MUCH< ARE YOU ****ING NUTS?'
take it down about 10 notches and be polite. to be honest it hink you can get 35k for it, but not 45. and like 30-33k for a quick sale.
i see where you are coming from, wanting 45k. but no matter what you're going to do, you will lose money ona car..thats what they do, they make you lose money in the end. either you cut your losses with em now..or hold on to them, enjoy them more and sell it later for less money.
personally, i will never seel any of my MBs because in my mind i still see my 2001 clk55 as a $70k car, not $35k. same with my 1999 s500..i see it as a $90k still, not $16k. lol
at one point you will think to yourself..oh man..its not worth sellign it for that low. ill keep it for myself and enjoy it on the weekends or something.

just my thought..hope it helps you out. afterall, what are you going to buy if/after you sell your current S-class? there arent many other cars as nice as an S-class car, unless you want to get a sportscar or an s55.

You dumb azz, you really should learn the definition of bashing. My first post has no intention of bashing but simply put the price that you told me, in which majority of ppl here think it is way overpriced.

And yes, now i am str8 up bashing you cuz I think you are acting like some whining old grandma that can't take ppl's comments and facts. You should really really get off the board be4 you have a stroke or a freakin heart attack over ppl commenting the astronomical asking price of your car.

And just so u know, I rather be a humble guy and put "all show and no go", than being someone like you who is acting like a mr. know it all on PMS...

Dtxmob I allways liked you but this guy has a point: Your price is flat out price gouging, and to come across like they are to harsh in reaction to your listed price??
It could go either way what do you expect people to say when listing a price like that?

Also to come off a lil sarcastic w/me because of my higher mileage please.....My car is in a TOTALLY different league than yours and I'm not trying to price gouge like you are..
Take a breath and calm down your never going to fetch that much $$ for your car period... You asked everybodys opinion and your getting it enjoy

Like wise thericker55! More or less I wasn't trying to sell it just yet until I found out the value! And right I did ask everyone's opinion on how much I would expect, but not tryin to name a price unless you asked! So let's set the record straight,that's why it was open to $$$$$ suggestions and not complaints by members who wasn't happy with the price I gave them when they asked!

What the hell's the matter with some of you guys. Dtxmob just asked the forum for our feedback. Yes, the price is high, but thats nowhere near a good reason to give the guy a hard time.

HLG

(I still say hold on to it, depreciation is a motherf@ucker. But...if you have to get rid of it, then remove the aftermarket modifications...easier to sell.)

This is what my fellow W220 owners behave like? I'm disappointed.

And yes, the 2000s depreciated so much due to horrible reliability.

hahahah..now you say you never set a price and it isn't overpriced...you really should go back to your previous post and read what you said..you are obviously suffering from memory loss and calling me a ****** won't make you look any brighter...i suggest you go suck that bloody tampon you had up your azz so that you can stop your PMS talk...

this is getting really stupid...stop hijacking the thread and calling people names.


One of you guys be the bigger man and just stop responding back to the negative posts.



Hope your car thing goes well whether you sell it or not (i think you shouldnt sell it just because its a pretty good car, andu wont get enough money to satisfy you, im the same.)

If you're selling the car to get a faster one..why dont you save your pennies and get a supercharger or something?
