Is anyone familiar with this Brabus E55 ?

Hello everyone ,
I am quite intrigued by this car for sale on Ebay but it would help a great deal if
someone on the forum is actually familiar with it or have seen it . I am on the other coast from CA ( Miami ) so it is not easy for me to check it personally. Thank you

Not trying to be a smart azz but most of our guys are not gonna pay 20k to Brabus for 600 hp. Good deal for the used one you are looking at but I would bet it was some player that doesn't hang on mbworld ya know.

You mean 60 HP? Advertised as raising HP to "a mind boggling 530HP/570TQ!!!"

Guys thank you to all of you ... you were all right .. 60HP for the BRABUS K8 doesnt make a whole lotta of sense I know that they say that BRabus retunes the power curve and Transmission and all .. but Brabus prices never made sense to me .. also .. I dont think the seller knows in details what are the exact
modification or work .. but thank you all .

I think I know this guy..... this car was on sell few months ago in craiglist and i text him about if he wanted to part out and he answered back very rude. Not sure if the same guy but i don't think many Brabus E55 in the area. The asking price for $37500 is way too high. 2004 with 3 owners 60K miles might worth $32K IMO.
