Ok guys,

It's for sale 100%. Going to Carlsen on consignment tomorrow morning and gonna try to sell it quickly. So negotiations are welcome if reasonable.

Thanks for passing the word out to your friends.

I think you would stand a significantly better chance of selling it if you put it back to stock. Modded cars carry a certain 'abused aire 'about them and are impossible to sell quickly for a certain price. You limit yourself to a very small group of buyers, most of which tend to be lowballers and tire kickers, as you know. You can always unload the modded parts later and recoupe some of your outlay. Been there, done that, got the t shirt, don't want another.

Don't worry Fred, it'll sell (especially at Carlsen). Just gotta wait for the right buyer with enough dough. In Silicon Valley, there's plenty of ballers.

Understand what you mean but I have been modding my cars for years and sold all my cars without putting back to stock. I am in no serious rush to sell so can aford to wait for that right buyer. The issue with me is I don't have the time to put back to stock and then deal with selling individual parts/shipping to all different places. That's just a headache

All, it's now at Carlsen. It shalled be missed, especially the power!!!!

I wouldn't mind a replacement that I would drive often. I was thinking something in the $70K range. You can find nice used SL55, E55, M5 for those prices. Leaning toward the SL55 for nice sunny days!
