Cheap Kleemann pulley anyone?
As some of you know, my '06 was/is a lease that is up next May. I'm starting the painful process of returning the car to (mostly) stock. The ECU will be flashed back to stock easily, but the pulley has to go in the near future, (I'm hoping to get away with leaving the EVO resonator delete and several other "minor" modifications like voice command). My deal is this:
I will give the pulley to a MBW member for only $100.00 (or highest bid if I get lots of takers at once) with one catch. The buyer will have to pay the cost of removing it and putting the stock pulley back on my car at a reputable shop (or mod friendly dealer). This is going to happen whenever I can hook up with the buyer and a shop. Anyone who can make this painless for me (as in getting it done without me taking the car all the way to south OC) will get the pulley first. If the wife and I do not get another MB, I will also have the factory bluetooth puck for cheap, but I won't know for sure until probably March/April if we go for a ML, G, GL, Rover, or an Escalade (don't flame for the 'slade) P.M. any questions or offers.

I'll keep everyone posted on the Bluetooth puck. We really don't know for sure what to get next. I want a used S55/S63/S65, but even that doesn't have the space of a SUV we want to accomodate baby, stroller, etc., etc. I'm leaning toward the Escalade. The pulley is a standard Kleemann, I believe they are 165 mm. Labor is all over the place, as low as $75/hr. to over $110.00/hr. I would be comfortable with any REPUTABLE shop doing this, such as VRP, Evo, etc. but if anyone has a shop that's near Ventura County, let's talk.

If I can get the work done by Code 3, it looks as if it's gone folks. If anything changes, I'll post again, otherwise consider it sold.

OK, the pulley is finally off the car. I had 1 or 2 members inquire, and the last interested party hasn't gotten back to me. Evo did the work, and although not cheap, Brad and Simon get my vote for customer service. Code 3 wouldn't even get back to me about doing the work, unless of course, I wanted to GIVE them the pulley to swap it out (right). So, with the cost to swap the pulley back out and my original asking price of $100.00, I'll take a total of $500.00 or the highest bid for it. No guys, it's not an ASP that was $800.00, a K-1 pulley is 2K+ new. The factory bluetooth puck is also available, best offer of at least $100.00. I also have an aftermarket rear spoiler (E-bay special I paid $350.00 painted) in Obsidian Black if anyone is interested. All other mods are already gone.

Congrats to C32Madness, pulley is sold. Spoiler and bluetooth puck are still up for grabs cheap. Anyone know how to get the linguatronic option removed easily (big $$$ from a dealer, I believe $900.00 factory option??) make offers.

Yes,
As long as you have the phone system in the car now, this plugs right in instead of a phone. I believe it's the only way to get bluetooth with linguatronic (voice command) at the same time.

Sorry, the pulley is sold to C32madness. Only the factory bluetooth puck, and rear spoiler are still for sale. Everything else is either gone or I'm just too lazy to remove from the car.
