722

I just came back from Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach and they had a 722 there. That car looks out of control. I talked to two different salesman and i got two different stories. I asked them how much it was selling for and the first guy said that it was going for about $550,000. The second guy said that it was going for $750,000 and that the car belongs to the owner of Brabus. Two complitely different stories, but whatever its not like i can afford it anyway. If you live in the area go by there and check it out it is worth it. They told me that it is one out of four to come to the USA.

From: Las Vegas
1987 190E 2.3
The first 722 in the country was sold through Fletcher Jones Las Vegas.
One of the sales men started it up in the show room, engine made a loud grinding noise. So at 50 miles we had to replace the supercharger, the clutch was too tight and ripped apart. It was great watching the guys tear apart a brand new 722
