The car behaves like factory, smooth, quiet idle, BUT: mash the gas, and the car moves like a supercharged train on rails! Torquey, aggressive, yet factory smooth & linear power! 0-60 in the low 4 Seconds!
All functions work as intended, unless noted below*. You open the hood, and you'd never know that the new Supercharged AMG M113 engine under the hood was not installed by Klaus in Deutschland.
*The ESP/BAS systems disabled at this time, the "nanny" is off for the weekend, so If you shift to 1st gear and floor the pedal, and the RPM's hit the Rev limiter the car -for it's engine's safety (since wheel spin is no longer limited by the factory nanny systems) will electronically disconnect the engine from the tranny to avoid any damage, in which case you put it in "N"eutral, and re-start. If you know how to drive this will nearly never occur and is a non-issue. I understand that possibly some tuners in Europe have a way to program the TCU differently however I don't know of who/where to go, so I didn't address it, as it's caused me no concern.
Flaws: tiny curb rash on one of the 17" AMG chrome rims. Leather from Dash-top in one small area needs to be re-adhered to the dash, there's a wrinkle in the leather. The "orthopedic" seats aren't operational* Inside of top - liner plastic trim around inner rear window has crack - you'd never have seen it if I didn't just itemize it here Tiny windshield star nick. OEM command screen plastic has fogging from UV rays, few lcd pixels are intermittent in the lcd cluster, that's about it, it is currently a 13yr old car, so expect normal (but minimal) signs of use both interior & exterior, however the photos will show you that this is a 9/10 car interior and exterior. No accidents to my knowledge, and always a Florida car since new, (NOT a rust-belt car) averaging only 6,000 miles per year, and seeing her you know she was a weekend cruiser, and well taken care of, a needle in a hay stack for sure. Always kept indoors, no paintwork on any metal panels.. etc, etc..

CAR IS IN POMPANO BEACH, FL. AT MY MECHANIC (MERC WERKS) I shipped it there for it's annual check-up, oil change etc, and have decided to sell it, so no reason yet, to ship it back to me. You can inspect it there, or have your inspection service go there as well.
After payment in full is received, I can hand the car off to a auto-transporter if you can not pick-up in person.
Contact me anytime with any questions at all, nothing to hide.. I searched a long time for this color combo in this condition to be the foundation on which to begin this build.. no expense has been spared.. and I've giving it away for a few dollars more than this car if it was stock..and slow ;)
