2003 - Mercedes-benz Sl-class on 2040-cars

appraisal done 10/6/14. appraised at 69,800! steal it here for 49,500! pics included of appraisal. ** price just dropped from 59k for quick sale!! You could not dream of building this car for that price and won't get a chance to buy an SL55 this nice for this price either! This is in the selling price range of a normal widebodied SL500, step up and get the huge extra power and options that come with the AMG! I have taken the car to a few shows over the past few weeks and it always draws a crowd. no matter what is parked by it!! thumbs up, waves, and whenever the car is stopped be prepared to be admired and swamped with compliments. i have had many cool cars but this one gets the most attention and is probably the most well rounded car that money can buy! hard top convertible is the only way to roll. the car has hydraulic suspension that constantly adjusts to road conditions with 3 ride height positions available at the touch of a button and also a sport and comfort mode. the car can be whatever you want it to be. a comfortable cruiser, or an absolute animal!! being drop dead gorgeous is just a great side benefit to the cars performance! I painted the car Voodoo blue and is very rare to see on this car, if there even is another one at all! Car has many aftermarket and handmade parts. Car has been completely inspected by myself and is in no need of any repairs. Body was painstakingly installed and finished to such a level that nearly everyone who sees it can't believe it didn't come from the factory that way. Car has only 1000 miles on it since body and paint, and only 1200 miles since all motor work done. I also have most all of the stock parts removed from car that will go with it. Car also has the panoramic roof option. list of engine mods- 180mm lower crank pulley- 1700 with tune smaller upper pulley- 500 82mm throttle body- 500 pcv oil separator tank- 100 belt wrap kit (to help eliminate supercharger belt slippage)- 550 550cc injectors- 700 custom made rear intake tubes- 150 k&n filters- 100 aux heat exchanger for intercooler water 250 larger intercooler water pump wired constant on- 200 6 gallon trunk ice/water tank- 200 aem progressive methanol injection- 500 custom made long tube headers- 2500 custom made exhaust utilizing only the AMG resonators and handemade tips (sounds simply wicked!! quite at idle and cruise, but exotic and down right angry when getting into it!)- 2000 eurocharged recalibrated trans computer (slr specs)- 600 custom tune by jerry at eurocharged, tune was purchased before they cut off free future tunes (included in pulley cost) asp billet pullies- 300 new belts black painted supercharger and engine covers/air intakes heat wrapped intake tubes- 100 looped fuel rails- 500 engine oil and trans fluids with less than 200 miles. new fuel filter also dual digital aem widebands with boost also and failsafe (failsafe not currently hooked up but easy to do)- 545 aux gauge readout plugged into diagnostic port that can read out all ecu parameters in real time. displays 4 at a time user defined- 150 11,445 zero labor included in that total. parts only and I am sure some I left out. wheels- avd05.1 in 19x10 and 20x14 sizes tires- toyo t1r 275/30 and 345/25 only 400 miles on tires 7000 wheels, 1800 tires interior is basically all stock minus gauges, and a custom made 7" tablet holder. i used the tablet for internet and audio. car has factory navigation. seats are heated, cooled, and massage. interior is in exceptional condition with everything working. 200 tablet holder exterior- misha designs widebody kit with many subtle modifications to original kit. hid headlights are brand new and painted black inside with custom leds installed with led controller that can strobe, heart beat, and lots of other functions. high beams also have projector lenses to match low beams and white led front parking light bulbs. custom made front and side splitters to protect front and side of car from underbody scrapes with also obvious aero advantages also. custom made led fog lights installed in front splitter also many hours was spent to make this one of the best fitting kits out there! time after time everyone thinks it is factory sheetmetal. kit, headlights, headlight harness, headlight brackets, grill, headlight custom parts, paint supplies- 12,575 parts totals- engine- 11,445 wheels- 8,800 body- 12,575 fluff- 3000 (misc wires, fasteners, raw materials, fittings, working materials) 35,820 this is PARTS only approx. 700 man hours @ a very low 50hr= 35,000 70,820 and you still need a car. good condition car with equal miles (my interior is nearly flawless and clean underneath) lets say 24k equal condition. 94,820 investment for someone to copy this car. you may be able to find some parts cheaper, you might be able to do some things yourself, but if you just handed it over to a shop, this is your number. now if we take a 50 cents on the dollar rule for mods (absurd considering the car is in new built condition with hardly any miles on it, but I will play along) you get 35,410. now add that to your base car= 59,410 my asking price is 10,000 lower than that and 20,000 lower than the appraisal a month ago. hopefully this sheds some light on the car and the fact my number is spot on and even low all things considered. no low ball offers as i am just as good to keep it, but if a deal can be worked out, you will be receiving a helluva lot of car for the money! the full build of the car and all parts used and time involved is located here- overZealous1's build thread
