A beautiful car but slightly over restored on the underside. Very similar to Brabus:

Heh, I notice that at that price, you don't even get the correct Bosch type signal horns  !!
/Hans in Sweden
.

[Cees Klumper]

That would be $5,000 extra Hans ...

So this car is not really worth 7 times what mine probably is? Mine has at least one original Bosch horn (the other was replaced with an incorrect Bosch one sometime during its life)

How is it possible that the German master certified technicians don't know the difference of a stock horn and an imitation one LOL

I wonder why there be this exodus of cars from Germany all the way to California LOL Something fisshy here for sure.

My guess is those nice German Pagodas are following the money. While the Fed prints and ZIRP exists to a greater degree than in the Eurozone, that's likely to continue...

[Rolf-Dieter ✝︎]

James, don't they fetch more in Europe then the U.S.? The price for the car in this thread is way over the top IMHO. Then there are people with very little knowlage about the Pagoda and money to burn (what I mean is, for them a $100K would be what for most of us is $1K) those are the once that pay this kind of price.

I just looked at pictures of a Brabus car.  Same horns as this one.

Its is also on the Brabus web site: http://www.brabus.com/cars4sale/car_088C.html?lang=en
EUR 269K - without VAT and without original horns.

And here is a 5-speed for $25K less .. perhaps they could not afford to buy correct hose clamps!

soon we will have to hire bodyguards to keep an eye our dear (in both senses) vehicles

Nice piece of car though and great pictures

[Peter van Es]

I'd gladly sell them mine for € 100,000 so they have a new base to build one from....

Brian at sl-classics.com sells what looks to me like an equivalent product (better with correct bosch horns?) for $190-210k.
Pricing of these cars all over the place.
