Oh my christing depreciation of satan himself.

That's cheap. Have to admit I even like the way it looks.

I don't get 'this is an original SL55 Brabus K8 Black Edition' followed by, a little later in the advert, 'body styling package to include'.

Doesn't make sense. If its an original then the body styling package line doesn't make sense - unless the advert is worded wrongly or badly.

Either way it doesn't float my boat at all.

Errrghhh WTF is it with sellers writing the whole advert in CAPITALS?

I personally wouldn't trust a thing from anyone who writes an Ad like that - but that's just me.

Guys,

The advert is obviously crap but can we focus on the monster its advertising?

Is it a genuine Brabus car?

A 2003 SL55AMG tuned by brabus and then given an SL65 AMG black body kit.

With no engine or rear end pics I'm sceptical.... Or it could just be a VERY st advert.

Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, ABC struts are clearly knackered

So not actually a brabus car then just tuned by them post production.

Massively overpriced then.

Seems sketchy. So many 'Brabus' cars out there that are just bolt-on specials.

I'm no expert, but I think it's claiming to be something it's not.

As I see it:

It's not a £300k AMG Black, nothing of the sort.
It's not a Brabus, car, in fact the only go-faster Brabus bits are an Exhaust and a larger intercooler, the rest is cosmetic.
It's wearing SL65 bumpers and stuff, which could be OE, or horrible after-market bits.

Strangely, no pics of engine...
