Remember it's a Chrysler. I agree with CoolCar there is a lot of interest early in this car, high 70s at best. For that kind of jack, you could get a fresh E63!

Looks like its got all the good gear on it option wise.. Ill agree on one thing for sure, that Kleemann badge job looks naff!

REALLY.....NICE!!! we should have a northshore benz meet LOL, whenever i see amgs around here, i always wonder if its a member, is ur car stock??

I really want to buy the car. I have talked to them but I cannot get there before the auction ends to pick it up. If anyone could look at it for me that is in the area I would really appreciate it. Thanks

The new owner of this vehicle will be determined in the last minute on January 18th in one week. All the bids will be entered and the computer will determine the winner. This is not the way to buy a car or spend 70-80 thousand dollars. Patience should prevail when faced with slick marketing.

I agree..if he won't deal off E-Pay...let it run its course.....anyone here closer to this place than me to get an eyeball on it for this member ? Guju...um...yeah my car is bone stock !!!!!!

There is no way they will get close to $80k for that car.

Any thoughts on what the reserve is for the vehicle if the buy it now price is $81,800?

Guys,

There was a 2004 K3 that was just for sale. 30,000 miles. Car ended up selling for $55,000, which was about $5,000 extra for all the Kleeman stuff

$75,000 is too much

It looks like this was a 2005.

We have someone that really wants this car and is obviously not an experienced bidder. The current bid took the price from 66,000 to 75,000. That is a huge jump with some many days left until the end of the auction....unheard of strategy! This car will be sold NORTH of 80,000. It just shows what excellent marketing can do for a car deal. My hat is off to d and dm-motorsports. Now that KLEEMAN badging is another subject....

I would say more than one person wants this car. If the bid is at $66K and you put in a bid or $76K, then it doesn't go up to $75K unless someone already has a max bid in of $74.9K. Seems like this car is going to bring more than I would have thought.

I still have not bid yet but I am really suprised it is this high this early.

medici78

I'm VERY surprised this car is getting that kind of action.
I would be careful, as sometimes, the seller may have someone bidding up the price. Nice little marketing tactic for a walk-in "well, this is the high bid on ebay, but I can sell it to you right now..."
Aside from this car, the E55 market is as dead as its ever been. I've never owned a car that depreciated as bad as my E55, and I bought mine used!

I agree, that price went too high too quick with too many days left after reaching $75+. It's almost like saying to someone 'you better hurry up and place that bid to reach reserve or better yet, get you real nervously thinking you better hit 'buy it now'. Another tactic is to let others all know who bid and who may be watching is that someone was willing to pay $75+ so thats the market value for this car, thinking an offer will come after auction ends. Or maybe I am analyzing it too much...LOL!

tws_andrew

What is this car worth in the Chicago market. I really want it and have the funds ready to wire. I want to make them an legit offer. I think the ebay price is BS. Any advice greatly appreciated.

sack5000

Look for another auction, unless you want to wire something north of $80,000. This will be an ugly car deal for someone and they get something that has been ridden hard and put up wet. Just remember, the vehicle is wicked fast..bone stock and you can get a nice 06 with decent equipment for $64-68.
