FOR SALE is a 181k mile 2008 Amazon Green over Oak with Heritage Bronze powder-coated factory wheels. I bought it on BaT last year, and it's hood and roof clear coat were in very poor condition, with various nicks and scratches in the paint overall, but I loved the color combo. When I picked it up in Birmingham, AL, it was obvious the battery was on its last legs, so I bought a new one as soon as I got home. After seeing the hood and roof in person, I decided to fix the clearcoat, and in a massive case of scope creep, ended up completely painting the whole thing. :) Along the way, the AC system failed. It turned out to be the compressor, so I bought factory Denso compressor, compressor clutch, and condenser components, and had them professionally installed. The 275/70 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 that came on it definitely look cool, but were loud, rode relatively poorly, compromised on-road handling, and as it turned out didn't help with fuel consumption, so I changed the tires to ones that were more road-worthy. That turned out better than I hoped, because it rides better, it's quieter, handles better, gets slightly better fuel consumption, and has much less road noise. At that same time, I thought I'd check the spare, and it looked fine, but turned out based on the date code it was probably original to the vehicle, so I also bought a brand-new tire as the new spare. I acquired a set of silver factory wheels in great shape, but they're also set aside, might use them on my 100 if the opportunity presents itself. I just love the Heritage Bronze too much to swap them onto the 200. There were wheel spacers on it when I got it, which made the stance look great, but they were very cheap, and actually caused a wobble at highway speeds. Pretty sure they came from Temu. 😆 Those will go in the the trash, if I can find them.

There is currently a lien, which will have to be paid off before the title is transferred to the new owner.

How much are you asking?
I apologize, I actually just came back to add the asking price, because I realized I had forgotten it. I bought it June 2023 at $28k + 5% buyers fee at BaT, so $29,400. After the complete repaint, and the new AC hardware, and tires/wheels, and battery, etc., I have invested about $8,000. My asking price is $35k OBO.
 
Who did the

Who did the repaint?
An experienced guy who worked for K&E Collision in MS. The shop was part-owned by a good friend of mine, a banker, but he wasn't involved in day-to-day operations, and sadly the shop went belly up earlier this year. The painter who did my 200 had also just recently done an exceptional job on my 2002 Carbon Black/Cinnamon E46 M3 right before the shop closed, so I tracked him down and asked him to do the 200.

Make sure to set the playback resolution to 4K. The video was shot and posted by a friend of mine, right before I got to drive up and see it in person. @COoverlander I am just tagging you because you asked about the paint work.

May I ask why you are selling?
I am so sorry! I am not seeing my notifications. Probably my fault. I have an old, but beloved 100, and I want to refurb it and start driving it. Can't afford to do both. Also, as of today, I found a new "shiny thing" that I really want, and need to money from this to buy it! I just changed the price from $35k to $30k, and am very open to offers! I just can't do trades.
 
Any interior pictures?
Jesse, I can grab some soon. It's in storage right now, off site, because I have too many vehicles, and my HOA are a-holes. Long story. If you look at my original post above, it has a direct link to the BaT listing, and I haven't done anything to it (by it, in this case, I mean the interior) except buy a new shifter knob, which isn't even installed yet, still new in box. BaT listing from summer of 2023

Wasn't that BaT listing from June 2023 and the seller (who bought this on that BaT listing) now selling it?

@HiFiGuy
Looks like you're right! Apparently I was tired or just plain missed that part of the posting. TY!
 
Sold for $28K. Seriously a wild price bump for Amazon Green.
One might say that. One might also read the entire listing, and realize that it had a new AC system installed, and a complete nose-to-tail professional paint job done. ;) When you say $28k, BTW, please be aware that doesn't include the buyer's fee of 5%, so "my" price was actually $29,400. Most people are aware of that, but I'm just clarifying for those who might not have bought a car at auction. Trust me when I say, at now $30k OBO, I'm losing a ton of money, but I am getting pressure from the S.O. to thin the herd, and as I mentioned I have another use for the capital.

@TheLCProject and @gasman4u , apologize, again, for not seeing the notifications. I just was able to successfully engage push notifications from IH8MUD, so hopefully I'll see them and be able to reply more expeditiously. And yes, that's why I included the link to the BaT auction, to make it as transparent as possible, and simplify seeing the listing where I bought it.
 
Very nice!!! Paint looks absolutely top notch!!!!
Thank you! I love it. The former co-owner of K&E, who's SUPER picky about his paint work on his own projects, said he thought it came out really, really well.
 
@lospice1 , I sent you a reply to your PM, but wasn't sure if you saw it. I know it's the holidays, and everyone is doing other things, but pinging here just in case. Since you're local, let me know your schedule, and I might be able to meet you in between to look it over.
 
@JHigh , I got your message, but the system won't allow me to reply for some reason. You're welcome to text or call (251) 269-3040.
 
Alright, I am getting what seems like some sincere interest, and a couple of actual offers from members here, but no one has actually pulled the trigger quite yet. I just wanted to pop in here and say, first $26k takes it, as-is without the mud tires (I had a very close friend who has fallen on some tough times, and gave the tires to him so he could get back and forth to work), or I guess I should finish the prep work and just place it on BaT where I got it, as an Alumnus. I suspect that's my best road to a good sale price, but I'd rather see someone here get it, if you want it. Please move quickly if you do!

Cheers,
Philip
