:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist

[CaleDeRoo]

Z1 Motorsports has everything you night need to future proof that car if anything were to break. God that car rules

[D Griff]

Fuck it I'd drive that thing 10k per year. Just plan on an extra day of disassembly before maintenance or repairs.

Yeah I think something like this is sort of foolish to save for the next guy. If maintained well, it'll still be worth about the same with another 50K miles on the clock, may as well enjoy it. If you were to put 5k/year on it versus 1k/year on it, you probably lose in the hundreds each year in value. Not driving stuff is dumb in 99% of cases.

[Desertbreh]

It is a more desirable use of $44K than a lot of other options.

This is fucking beautiful

First I said I would have bid on this if it had lower miles...

But that thing doesn't seem to be in good shape

Chips and scratches on the exterior
Peeling paint on windshield trim and rear bumper
Curb rash on wheels; 2019 date code on front driver's side tire
Some wear on seats and on interior touch points
Inoperable panoramic sunroof
Sagging headliner

Mine had none of the above...

I was also surprised to see "rust" on a florida car.... but it seems like it was actually in Jersey... Diabolical to drive a 500hp sedan in the winters there.

I understand it's not the below ... but on a "collector" grade vehicle it's detracting. It is a bit too "used" for my taste... the seats also look like the leather is starting to flake, given the fucked up bumper and headliner that thing probably lived outside with the peasants and thus doesn't deserve a price premium.

[max225]

So my buddy traded in his Raptor 2 weeks ago at this stealer... they first listed it at 84k... but now went with 100k

https://www.lexusfremont.com/used-Fremo ... GXRFA26890

He bought it a year ago for 82k (sticker) ...

Also it seems like Civic type Rs are back to transacting above sticker here... with most dealers asking 15-20k over.



I should have gotten one essentially for $1800 over (accessory bs) and called it a day.

Shit rusts if you drive it spring to fall in the north east too.

But that's basically not even rust. That's how much surface rust cars get sitting on the lot up there.

You are correct that the W211 E55 is a beautiful thing, a vehicle that is still impressively fast today and has a great fking engine.......this is when AMG just made a bad ass hotrod 170 mph all day long capable car that carried wine, women and shotguns. The true descendant of the 450SEL 6.9. For all the reasons Max said, I would only get this one on the SUPER cheap. Also, those Pano roofs are to be avoided. They have these plastic gears and INEVITABLY DIE......and then it is a full rebuild. Just say no to this one.

[CaleDeRoo]

I posted that E55 because that color combo might be the best I've seen

It's already broken in that one. I wanted to but I ended up :

There is a way to take care of cars of this caliber ... unfortunately this one wasn't

My local still has one at MSRP but I do not find it the least bit compelling for $52k.

Yeah, no. Not for me.

The Merc looks pretty clean to me considering it’s 20 years old. It’s not a Ferrari, I’d expect it to be run hard and put away wet at this point.

[max225]

That thing was an inflation adjusted $146k I would hope it wasn’t “put away wet” it’s not a civic si owned by a pre brocolli head

Could it possibly be just a florida registered car but lives in NJ. Im lately seeing a lot of those whenever i go up there.

Yeah it was $146K inflation adjusted for the first lesee... then $46K for the second guy, then in the teens for the other broccoli heads. All I'm saying is, good luck expecting perfection on a 20 year old car that isn't particularly valuable. It looks pretty good, there will be imperfections unless you go to the equivalent of Enthusiast Auto.

That rust is presumably pictured for being the worst part on the car, it's probably $12 of shit you could replace with a regular old socket set in 15 minutes.

20yo cars need stuff.
Ain’t no third owner taking a $15k Benz to the dealership rape palace for service or treating it like it’s a $150k vehicle.
