Jan 23 2009ZOMG, I'm Buying It Now: $250K Mercedes SLR McLaren On Ebay For Only $45K!!!

WRECKED

BURNT

USELESS

That car will get you LAID.

Any car will get YOU laid Cock Pants

1-3 , DITTO

It looks like Moose Knuckle sat on a nice car & let one rip!!!

Might I add, AWETHUMB. Wiily Wiily AWETHUMB.

I'll give them $50 for the tires. I could always use a few spares. TIRE!

I'm glad they keep a fire extinguisher next to it in case of a flare up.

Oooooops ! Smoking kills cars as well now then eh ?

Where's this thing being kept at, a parking garage? I like how it's parked right between 2 other cars. Looks like someone is still driving this thing to work. Times are tough, you gotta do what you gotta do. If that's driving a burnt to a cinder McLaren, so be it!

What did they use to put the fire out? Black licorice and duct tape?

STUPID OWNERS!!!

It looks like an emo robot with vomit on it's face.

There is no way that owner is still alive, looks like the car flipped upside down flew down the road as it burst into flames.

wow.... do you get a free dead body still squished in the drivers seat?

So this is what a car looks like after Paris Hilton drives it.

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max stole the goodyear blimp and rigged it with explosives. He tried to fly it over the superbowl game and take out the entire crowd in one fell swoop. Unfortunately his plan was thwarted and the last thing he saw was a perfect pattern from the explosion in the water that he exploded it over.

When he woke up he was glad it was just a dream.

So if you went to the dealer to buy those listed parts new. How off from 45k are we? I'm not sure I would pay 45k for a four year old engine that was in a fire with no guarantees. I know MacLaren engines are powerful. But I could build something mighty fierce for 45,000 miles.

wtf.... wtf... wtf...

$250K and it has an auto tranny???

What pussy bought this thing in the first place??

To Dr.Known, followup jokes don't work if we can see they're all the same person.

And also, GW, you forgot to mention that the car comes with parts of the owners. You can't beat a deal like that.

turd Ferguson, didnt know you were on here. i want to second Fergs comment

Allstate: "Are you in good hands?" LOL

I second the comment about the tranny. This is the kind of sports car rich old faggots drive who can't drive a standard.

The other day I was walking through a parking lot and came across a 911 Turbo and I'm thinking "shit that's awesome" until I look through the window and see that it's an auto. Such a f***ing waste of money.

#21 I like your name whollywirks

@8. Thumperchica - You know, this is awethumb. You're right.

I'll just point out to the comments on the transmission the "McLaren" in the name there. If you can shift fast enough to control this engine you're a robot, and as GW would tell you, f*** off and die.

I'd buy it if the cigarette lighter works.

Believe or not many 100K+ cars do not come with the option of "Standard", its an automatic tranny with paddle shifting by the steering wheel. Definitely the case for the SLR MacLaren, Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche, etc.

I should buy that, then put it all in my Focus.

Where's Xzibit, I need to pimp my ride

@29

Almost all of the expensive Porsche's that I have seen (one of my friends owns a GT2) have been 5-6sp standard no pussy tiptronic. I know many lambos have the paddle shifting layout but those are for people who just want to show off.

And to the other guy who said you can't shift fast enough... The McLaren F1 had a 6 speed manual if I remember correctly and that had more horsepower than the Mercedes. Like I said this car was made for rich douches who can't drive a real car.

News Flash!

It went for 8,100!

( I knew those idiots wouldn't pay that much!)

The douchebag who owns this thing needs to be shot. Whatever happened to it was obviously not covered by his insurance so he's just trying to get back something off it.

So,

1.) He either has too much money to be responsible for his own actions, in which case he doesn't NEED to collect anything back off it.

or

B.) He didn't have enough money to afford the full coverage insurance and shouldn't have owned this in the first place!

f*** him, I hope he goes bankrupt over this...

yeah it probably wasn't insured, its just so tough to even find a company that WILL insure cars like this.

45 grand? for junk parts?

@32: No it didn't go for $8,100. The auction ended without a buyer because the Reserve price of $45K wasn't met, the highest bid was $8,100. It still didn't sell.

he's not the one selling the car dumbass, it's the insurance company. They always do this, sell the car to a liquidator, then it gets listed in a variety of different auction formats to try and recoup some of the insurance companies losses.
different areas have different laws, but usually when a car i written off in a state, it's fair game for repair and resale in another. you buy a write off porsche for $20k, drop $20k into repairs if you own a shop, and resell it for $80k. shit happens all the time. hence the reason for not buying out of state cars.

Hmm, that actually makes sense. That was a logical and educational post #36, thank you.

If this car has an auto transmission its a one of a kind. They were all manual gearboxes except for a special order bought by kobe bryant for his wife.

An unscrupulous activity is to sell write-offs at ridiculous prices. A disreputable repair shop will take the VINs from the write-off and transfer them to a stolen vehicle of the same make and model. Then they record the write-off as being fully repaired when it's actually the stolen vehicle. It's like laundering but for vehicles. The insurance companies turn a blind eye to this. This one didn't sell because there aren't a lot of these types of vehicles in the first place and the vehicle is difficult to steal, so no "market".

Wow! it's almost like the Enzo Ferrari that Eddie Griffin totalled..then was rebuilt which wound up on E-Bay for under a million. But concidering it's only a Mercedes..probably not worth it...
carbon fibre, fiberglass and magnesium...all flammable..I think the car companies are trying for a viking funeral

dont forget to get a carfax vehicle history report. this car could have been in a fenderbender. you could get really screwed in this deal. dont make a $45,000 mistake!!
i couldnt help it i had to say it har har har lame as hell.

Well if you buggers must know this was MY car. I'm 17, how old are you pussies. Who the f*** drives with a f***ing standard? That shits for oldies and fag bitchasses. Since you were also worried about me NO the car want in a reck. I did that ON PURPOSE., I took one of them capitallar demolition thingies, the one with big claw, and I ripped the top half off. Why? Because my mom's being a bitch. I wanted a f***ing lambo not some f***ing mercedes piece of shit. I ihave two f***ing mercedes why the f*** I want a f***ing SLR I'm running no f***in Mercedes shop. Oh and I took a dump in the trunk before I ripped the top part off. Shit did catch fire though. And I got insurance on that shit. LOL I can't believe my f***in insurance f***in company put that shit on ebay. If I knew I'd a bidded on that shit and not f***in paid that shit. OOh that shit woulda been f***in hilarious!! Why none of you fags bidded that shit. All it needs if a f***in new car and you'll be f***in set. I f***ed sooo much pussy in that car, but that shit is so gay who drives a f***in mercedes anyway. f***in shit. Aww too bad the glove compartment got trashed I kept all my condoms from f***in in there. That shit got all moldy and shit. Thats onna the reasons I got rid of that f*** no way I'm cleanin that shit. I wanna meet the dick who's gonna buy this shit so I can f***in shit on the car again and hand him the keys. Shits so wanka.

The McLaren actually goes for $450,000 normally.
