Interesting eBay offering....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-Mercede...BZl4oS&vxp=mtr

It looks legit as far as the visual Brabus parts... but the buy now price for a car with a salvage title is shocking....

This car was built by MW of Houston.
The engine was shipped to Brabus.
It was T boned on the driver side. I used to have some pics of before and after.

Any idea what the cost was on the engine build?

No, the seller is delusional if they think someone would pay that for a salvage title. Then again all it takes is one really dumb person with a ton of money to make the seller seem like a genius.

Whatever a bonehead would pay. Then when he wants to get rid of it, he'll have to find another bonehead.

It’s ironic (or maybe not) that every one of these M157 big hp turbo builds ends up for sale within days or months after completion.

I'm seeing 180k now. Guess it'll keep going down. Says fully loaded and it pretty much is except it doesn't have the pano roof.

I would venture to guess that a salvage lambo aventador wouldn’t go for $200,000

Well I would say a clean title car with that mileage and mods would realistically by worth maybe $125K. To do it yourself, say $75k for a well optioned '14 E63 S with similar mileage (high end), plus the $90k for Brabus mechanical mods, plus another say $20K for the cosmetic mods/wheels. So the number I am throwing out there discounts the mods by 50%. But the salvage title would be a deal killer for me and most others. I don't believe any reputable bank would let you finance it. I would be shocked if it could sell for more than $80K.
