The car's definitely not close to being worth the value of the benz - mods or no mods

If you've never previously owned an rx-7 and you don't know your way around one, I highly suggest that you fix the m3 and get it running before you get the rx-7.

I bought a 2006 E55 with Mods for under $26K. 03-04 E55s go for under $20K. You can get a 05 CL65 V12 twin turbo that will run 10's for a little north of $30. That car was $180K brand new..

I remember in 05 my ex HAD to have a Mercedes, bought a brand new c230. Traded it in 6 months later for a Denali and got around half of what was paid. I personally am not a fan of the feel of Mercedes/BMW, they feel to heavy and floaty but they do make some really nice models. Much like any German engineered car, when you hit the gas it is to smooth for me, I like to feel what I am doing.

thanks guys for all the help the fd also came up with a milage mark on it in 08 it said it was re titled and given a not actul milage brand not sure why but that kills the value... so im passing on the deal as it looks now ...

once again this forum has been a great help hopefully i can find a fd thats almost perfect ahahha
Wow that car is a mess. Probably best to be used as a race car or something where title means nothing
