No, it hasn't been sold. I just checked ebay. And honestly I don't know who in their right mind would actually buy that burnt pos. Doesn't look like anything worth a damn can be salvaged. For the 40gs they want for it, I'd rather go buy a used RS4 or another E55. What a rip off...

TRY TO GET THOSE INTERCOOLERS OFF.

The car is long gone...i did try to get the engine yanked but Benz came and pulled the car quickly. I clearly remember the engine in perfect shape besides the soot all over it. Oh well...
