Selling the AMG

You can see more pics here: http://galveston.craigslist.org/cto/6094134081.html

I have an opportunity to get a Hellcat but with great sadness I would have to sell this car first to clear some space.

$12,200

Garage kept, non smoker, clean Car Fax, 111k miles. All TSB current. Mechanically sound and everything works. No rips/tears in interior.

A few months ago I had entire front repainted to get rid of the normal rock chips that occur over time, had the license plate removed and holes filled, both fog lights replaced, and the main grill and fog light covers replaced. At the same time, I had the rear bumper cover painted so both the front and back look brand new. Both headlights were replaced a few years ago so they are nice and clear.

All work documented at mileage and was performed by Mercedes of Clear Lake, Motorwerks of Houston or me.

Only modifications are: Eurocharged ECU and TCU tune, Eurocharged heat exchanger, CM pump, UPD pulley set with belt wrap kit.

Replaced front and rear air struts, both engine belts, supercharger oil, differential oil, front and rear rotors/pads.

Replaced under warranty: motor/trans mounts, radius rod bushing, fuel pumps, sending units.

Front tires have about 60% remaining and back are brand new.

Should sell quickly, so much more desirable than the "$6000 tired example" people seem to ask about. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks! Yes I agree... Where can you buy a mid 11 second luxury car for under $13k? The most common "issues" with the vehicle have been taken care of (air struts, heat exchanger pump, dusty brake pads, etc).

Man wish this was up last week. My brother in law flew to NC and bought a Jag XF that is not nearly as nice of a car as your E. GLWS

Thanks guys. The best part about it (at least for me) is that it has not been modded much and none cosmetically (save truck spoiler). I like the stock look of vehicles. But this also lets a buyer purchase it and do whatever they want and not have to be stuck with "my tastes".

I paid $14.5k for a banged up E55, yours is a much better deal... jealous of whoever gets it.

I have to spend XXX amounts of money to get it up to spec mechanically first of all then spend XXX and all the time required to get those mods in

Good luck with the sale, have fun with the hellcat, seems like a cool car to own.
