anyone wanna buy the car on here..... its a 03 s500 4matic.. with full orginal Lorinser F01 body package and exhaust.... black lorinser rims and lorinser interior shift knob, steering sport steering wheel and other goods.


pm for pics

Thanks for ruining the best looking s-class there ever was and probably will be. That bodykit is a disgrace, its hideous. Now the rims are nice but how could you put that atrocity on the car. I am sorry for the troubles you are having with the car but for me you deserve it for putting that thing on the car.

I FEEL FOR YOU

MY EXPERIENCE WITH "SMOG" SYSTEMS DRIVES ME NUTS. THESE "FEEL GOOD' LIBERALS HAVE GIVEN US THIS COMPLICATED MESS THAT SUPPOSEDLY CLEANS THE AIR. "GIVE ME A BREAK". THIS IS AT LEAST 90% OF THE PROBLEMS WITH OTHERWISE "DAMNED GOOD CARS". GRIMSTONE.

i have a 4matic also just wait till yours needs ton of parts in the near future haha


heres breakdown of some parts in just the past couple months alone

4 new airmatic struts needed- just got car towed to mb shop pretty much destroyed my body kit
2 new compressor pumps
lower and upper control arms
AC compressor
water pulley, alternator pulley and crankshaft pulley
power steering
rack and pinion
4 matic differential or whatever the hell its called
new set of catalytic converters
master central gate or something like that..... got fried when i went through a car wash.

and the tranny is gonna need to be replaced soon as well

i think any of you forum trolls would of had a heartattack if you had to repair these things out of pocket all in less then 6 month period.

why are you trolling on this topic... no one cares about your oponion on the body kit.. thats great you dont like but who cares.... have you ever seen an actual f01 equipped benz.. they look beautifful and very rare to be seen on the road since the kit is so expensive.


opinions are like arssholes.. everyones got one

Everyone does have one! And here is mine.

You'd be better suited in something a little more simple.



Yeah! That's more like it.


I get so sick of threads like these. If you cant gather the skills to repair/pony up the cash to have it repaired, then get rid of it.

all in a car that has 120,000 miles and is driven by my mother in the suburbs all highway miles at no more then 65mph ever hahaha damn new mbzs.


btw i hate ricers but my neighbors 2003 acura mdx and older acura RL sedan for the past 7 years have only been in for oil changes not one problem to date..



i always loved german cars especially when i got my new s500 back in 2003 but since such a bad experience and how poorly there cars are made especailly with all those unnecessary gadgets i will NEVER buy another mercedes again.
all of these bs comments are based on money,all of us who spend in excess of $100k on a car need to have our heads examined.so you fork over the purchase price for a brand new 2003 S500 and then expect toyota corrola reliability and mechanical overhead.you spent not a penny to maintain that benz for the first 50k miles/4 years.im amazed of all the tall tales im reading on the forums lately,MB lemons!.i have never owned one yet and wonder if their is some sort of client prequal required to get one.
