Nice V12 with Wiring Harness and HVAC repairs. The $12000. in repairs, swoooosh...takes my breath away! Saying nothing about the money. I know, if you have to ask how much is it costs...you can't afford it.

BEAUTIFUL Car. A few questions I would ask if I were interested:

1. Does it come with the gas station the pictures were taken at?

2. Assuming that the MPG gauge is miles per gallon, is it really necessary to put any number over 15 on the gauge?

Screw the mpg - I would love to commute my 135 miles a day in that thing. I could boost my average speed from 80 mph to 120 mph, saving time (which of course means saving money, right?).

Yeah, it is a very nice automobile. I am confused however.... What wiring harness was replaced I wonder? I did not realize that the S-Class had wiring harness issues.....

Some of those repair bills... well..... WOW.

I don't see any reason you shouldn't be able to achieve this speed in your E300.

Wow...nice car though, someday

Wow, obviously was a problem. Probably why I saw one a while back that had an engine fire.
