This car has been for sale forever.

I am sure you can figure out why...

I am by no means an expert on the Mercs. however given the hood scoop, seats and lack of mileage disclosure (prob. sky high) I would say the price is high. Please feel free to "edumacate" me on the subject.

Wrong color. Wrong stripes, wrong ground effects and a completely wrong interior.

If you take a rare car and "make it your own", don't bother trying to get any money back out of it. In effect, this guy (or more likely the previous owner) has worked very hard to make a hollow shell of an ascMcLaren. Everything needs to be removed and many parts purchased to bring the car back to even resemble one.

He probably wants close to his $7500 when it is closer to a $2500k car. If the current owner didn't make these changes, I feel sorry for him because the previous owner really found sucker.
