You've seen the build, now own the legend... Okay it's probably not legendary for the right reasons but hey, I can dream. Most times I don't list my cars on here as I know that me putting up how much I spent kinda negates any negotiating power on my end, but I figure there may be someone who wants this car. I really am quite impressed with it and if I had infinite garage space I would hang on to it.

I'm just going to copy pasta my CL ad here. You've probably seen the build thread so I don't have much to explain about the car. It does have a clear title, and no accidents reported on the carfax for those wondering.

Craigslist said: I have a very nice 2005 Mercedes Benz C55 AMG for sale. The car has been well taken care of, with a recent service to the brakes, A/C, new rear tires, and oil change (along with other parts, i have the list and receipts). Car has 156k on it, but you would never know it by looking at it and driving it. I've owned some fast cars and this one is near the top with it's 5.5L V8. Car and Driver clocked the 0-60 back in 2005 at 4.7 seconds and I fully believe it, this thing's a rocketship when you want it to be. If you've been looking for one of these for a while you know they can command a premium and don't come up for sale too often as only 1,700 were built between 2005 and 2006. All that being said the car isn't perfect, the steering wheel leather could use a little love as it's been cooked by the Florida sun, the paint is in very good condition with no sunburn, but the front bumper does have some rock chips and cracks and there is a small chip in the hood. Overall a great car, has the original toolkit, spare tire air compressor and bolts, AMG floor mats, even have the original window sticker. Sold for a whopping $57k when new, get for a fraction of that at $10k or best offer. http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/cto/5427907806.html

Your ad might be TL;DR for CL. Sweet car for sure, GLWS!

Yeah I might trim it down some more, I tend to ramble on when it comes to cars. And thanks for the well wishes.

2 things:

Was your engine really built by a German person named Mike Thomas?

B: How the hell does that spare tire work?

A: Yes, yes it was, he's the most American German engineer ever.

B: There is a compressor in the spare tire kit that inflates it, and even has different short bolts for the spare. I know this because I had to use it on my maiden voyage, when I picked up a screw in one of the rear tires. Decent system, just a little hard to get all the air out to get it back in the well area.
