I've seen some bad stuff but...

This one takes the cake. See for yourself. Its an SL55 "L" if you look on the back, and if you look on the side it has an incredible V12/V8 engine. Two engines in the same car!!!!

this is really a piece of cake showing that money truly doesn't buy class.. not that that v20biturbosupercharged engine is bad enough.. $8500 spent on that honkin nose looking hood, $8000 horrid looking wheels and tires and the ugliest wing thingy i've ever seen for $1800?!!?.... and dead mink seat belt covers??

Looks like Gonzo from the Muppet Show. This kind of thing should be forbidden

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. It looks like he let his 3yr old do the badge work

I personally would perform a vasectomy on the owner to ensure no more like him procreate. The car is worth more than the entire neighborhood it was photographed in!

I see California plates. That means those are probably million dollar plus homes...

If you're gonna sell your car, at least take your personal junk out of it before taking pics.

Anyone else notice some sort of road kill in the seats? The guy who bought this probably cannot afford food anymore and is reduced to eating whatever he can run over.

Seriously ugly .. if I were him, I'd put the factory hood back on, and then ebay the car. Cleaning the car might help ..

LOL, I was unaware of the long wheel base SL, I can't imagine what the SL55L AMG costs.

Those stupid *** wheels are enough to give me pause as to whether I want to buy that car, not to mention the sheepskin seat belts!

Plus that dude has some SERIOUS priority issues.. look at his house?

Hell, I could stack 3 AMG's in my garage too, and have nothing left over to pay for my kids college!

Did anyone notice the trim rings around the headlights and the brake light?

I hope this puts an end to ANYONE contemplating those hideous trim rings... I know there was a discussion about them on the CLS forums...

Come 'on guys... It's true that this may be one of autodoms more expensive failed experiments but it does seem to have a little bit of something for just about everyone, now take the fake fur seatbelt covers for example, or the totally unique hood mounted cod piece... to die for 'eh?

i think this silver one wins the new trophy for the most horribly riced out SL ever... the previous victor was this green gem.... the world famous AC Schnitzer SL500 "2" R129
