The guy selling that ugly-*** CLS is on CRACK...no way. Not worth 1/2 what he's asking for it, much less the asking price. That's some DOUCHE that got all of the parts for free to build it up as a show car, and is now trying to make a 150% profit on the car. Suck it, douche.

That thing is UUUUUGGGLLLY

It's been on Ebay for at least a year. As ugly as it is, it's still better looking than Reggie Bush shark CLS.

I would definitely take the F430! The interior of that CLS is way to ugly for me! The two-toned paint job makes the CLS look way too long, although I do like the red color on the exterior...

Id take the CLS over the girly 430 utilizing the 50k savings to restore her back to stock.

LOL, now why dont you tell me how you really feel!


Also, I didn't realize I put a $175 430 up, It was late. However, for 125K you can score a 430 all day. You get the idea...

LOL yeah I had a few beverages in me when I typed that...but still feel exactly the same way about it. I can't stand it when the show car guys get a car built up for them, make it incredibly gaudy and ugly, and then sell it behind their sponsors' backs. Not that this is exactly what's happening here, but I'd bet it's pretty close. No one in their right mind would spend that type of $$$ of their own money to create THAT thing

F430. Although the CLS would be nice if they could color coordinate the interior better and drop some of the ridiculous and over the top nuisances.

I agree man. The big name guys like Brabus and company can build something loonie but they can pull it off. Something like this, .

But, we have to do whats right and wish him the best. I wish that he walks into the biggest a$$hole on the planet and that a$$hole happened to have $125K cash that he wants to spend on a CLS.

Well I definitely wouldn't drive that CLS in its condition.

As well, I wouldn't [pay for] drive a Convertible Ferrari.

Ferrari though if it were between the two anyway, of course.

I am confussed. Are you really contemplating wheather you should buy a 430 or a CLS 55? I hope no matter the cars wheather is ugly one you listed or another one. If you have the coin why would you not get a Ferrari? Or lambo or Aston? That is just me I guess.

Exactly why modded cars don't sell for what they have stuck into them. Once you jack the price up to compensate, the alternatives are usually much more appealing.
