@GodFather @hobbsm3 Curious on whether the import tariffs still ended up being 2.5%? I ask as I'm importing a car as well and there's a fair bit of uncertainty - different importers seem to give different answers!
Just...wow. I logged off thinking this would go for $80K or so. That's a great deal!
Good walkaround video
@SwissBliss Thanks for the note and, to clarify, I was in no way commenting on the seller's auction. My numbers are fine + validated (I'm doing a Koenig widebody build myself), but I understand how you're approaching $200K (you neglected to mention the big one, M120 from Gooichi, in the original post). I'm close to having everything done (all professionally installed but w/o the M120, manual swap, and audio upgrades) and am coming in right at $95K. @GodFather - thanks for following-up on the tariff question. Glad to hear it's just the 2.5%!
Sorry if I missed this, but will you cover the full import fee (15%) or just the 2.5%?
Nice build. But those three emblems on the hood (stacked on top of one another) is a v. weird look. Easily rectified though.
@SwissBliss - I'm curious as to why your build is coming in around $200K. Per my math, assuming that the sub-100K mile donor was $30K-$35K, you're still under $100K. I assume there are significant engine mods you're contemplating? 4V conversion, M120, M113K, etc. etc, DMC Widebody Kit (the best available) - $15K Professional Installation - $15K Drive Quality Repaint - $20K Interior Upholstery in MB Tex - $15K
I'm not sure if the Patina Collective history is a plus here. Regardless, great looking KS - certainly a very distinctive design. Not sure why AMG parts are included as it does seem incongruous.
