just found this
shiney

would make a quick and loud car if anyone could sqaush it all in cheap too

its only cheap because its only been listed in the last few minutes

On the plus side, the engine is the only good part of a mercedes.

I used to take mine back once every three weeks for warranty work.

Front Loom
ECU
Prop Shaft Bolts (Sheared on the way back from Stansted)
Rear Brake Springs
Electric Window motor
Doors unlocking at 90mph
and so it goes on.

Other than that, it was a nice car....

Service from MErcedes was poo though. Lost half of its value (£6k) in six months and they wouldnt give me anything back or try and keep my custom.

This is what he is expecting for it to go for

He's having a luagh, 9k for an engine? Rare Lambo and Ferrari engines will get that but not an amg, dare someone to offer him £50!

Isn't it the "hand made" 6.3 version that has been de-torqued because it kept eating gearboxes? In which case 9 grand seems fair enough for me.

I'd offer him £50 but he might take it then I'd have to find £50!
