Insane 65

I just typed up SL65 in my craigslist page(boston), and I found an insane SL65. Not too fond of the paint job and the crazy monitor in the back but the 750hp sounds tasty to me.

Sounds like he got seriously raped on a paint job. I can see including the fiberglass enclosure, install, doors, etc... in that. 40k for just paint? Either the owner is full of it, or he got jacked on the price. I also doubt 750hp, considering I sent a customers car to Brabus, and they did 730hp.

Hold on a second and let me get this straight. He is asking $210,000 for a completely ruined SL65 that looks like it jumped out of "Fast and the Furious 3"?

Wtf

Maybe if the car was one solid color and did'nt have the speakers and t.v. hook up in it< it would'nt be a bad looking SL, however were do you find time to look at t.v. while driving a two seater convertable??? I like the wheels and the Lambo doors along with the lowering. Oh, it might have 750hp if you add the K&N air filter along with 116 octane racing fuel to it LOL that should compensate for the extra 20 to 25 hp

OMG... I just spit my beer out... WTF are people thinking when they create a shiet bag like that?

I bet you this... those that complained about a 65 depreciation, won't when they see this car... sell for scrap, but i wonder if there is anything salvageable on it? I would like to know who dreamed this abortion up? a 6 year old?

so sad... so sad...

I honestly think it is a damn shame, seriously it does nothing to promote the industry, MB, AMG, etc. I would not trust that vehicle going at the speeds it was designed for, the rim tire combo alone looks like it would kill you.

Maybe they need to put that vehicle with these
