...and thought I would share it with my fellow W140 fans.

Mercedes-Benz : S-Class SWB Sedan 4-Door in Mercedes-Benz | eBay Motors

I can't believe someone did this and is now trying to charge over $30k for it.

I just threw up in my mouth.

 

[MB_Fahrer]

WTF? I don't know where to begin... The gold? The tiny motor? The price? The gold? The gold? The gold? *head essplode*

What the hell is this abortion? For 35K it better have some brand new tires on it too, not the dirty, old looking shit it does now.

I think you guys are too picky. It looks like a great car. And in my opinion, the fact that it was "an insurance write off with no damage" just adds to its charisma.

 

[nhzruthless818]

waste of an amg bodykit. Too much stuff going on in this car.

I agree. Whoever took on this exercise assumes there's a market for his 'creation'. Who are we to say there isn't?

But for me, if it wasn't totaled by the insurance company back whenver, it surely is totaled now. But that's just me.

Like I said, there may be another person interested in a gold-plated pimped out example of a Mercedes.

Then they should look for an older Maybach, which will at least have been tastefully done, IMO. :surrender:

There is a buyer out there for everything

This abortion could prove this rule inaccurate!

JUICEDW140 posted this on the Interesting Ebay Items a few days ago.

You know, what's interesting is...for the items that was changed, but itself, the work done on it is professional. Not sure if this was a real AMG, but it has an AMG badge on it. Now if that's not enough to make you want to part with your $35Gs...how about the 51 CD disk changer in the trunk....gotta like that.

But really, the sum of the parts....ah...let's not go there.

What do they mean by "Insurance write off with no damage"? I guess it could be a flood write off? That would be an insurance write off with no physical visible damage....I guess.

Well, I think if the black was not gloss black and Carbon fiber black...I would bid on it...maybe they can change it for me if I bid with that condition...hmmm... could own myself a truly pimped W140....

Oh, it's lovely...

Now Now... Be kind...

Mr Vai... Hold in some of the Dutch... on your post #4

What a piece of crap.... Painted leather, wacky paint and wonky gold...

Clearly you're not as outraged as I am.

Also, honesty knows no boundaries. If it must be said, let it be said.

 

[jcvollmuth]

those are nice wheels other than being gold

 

[Josh]

Someone will surely love it and buy it, but for most of here, it's just too much.

It's like the people who put lift kits, winches, roll cages, and big tires on their Wranglers, then never go off-road even once.

 

[lcmlee]

Well, if it was this Rolls Royce instead...$35,000 would be cheap. Who knows, the W140 could be Ringo's

 

[Rupununipete]

I am sure there is a healthy market for this car in Nigeria, and those guys are always willing to pay some over the invoice price.

 

[unbugai]

Not to worry gentlemen, i will take the time out of my day and drive to nh to beat this tastless pricks ass back to the 70s, when putting gold on everything was considered cool.....

Well I'm not exactly certain about the styling, but you have to admit
A. This is by far the most customized w140 in the world. It blows all other customization out of the water.

B. He actually did a really good job ( from what I can see). Nothing is falling apart and all looks very well done. All the leather looks good and the whole thing is an artists dream. I can tell a true artist made this.

I think I just vomited in my mouth...

One thing bugs me...if seller had all this money...why didn't he buy a 1999 S600 with the split rear seats, fridge, NAV from Germany/Japan instead of a 1995 S320??!?!?!!?
