Hi guys,
I've got a 24-valve 300CE coupe for sale. This is the most desirable version: it's got the upgraded twin-cam M104 engine and 4-piston brakes, but it was built before the notorious "biodegradable wiring harness" fiasco. The 300CE was a pillarless coupe, like the E24, but much more modern in terms of design and execution.
The car was in perfect condition, with gleaming paint and a spotless interior. Not a speck of rust anywhere. Over $2500 in recent maintenance at Guten Parts, including new smog pump, transmission fluid/filter/seals, and LSD service. The only mods are NOS springs from Eibach (impossible to find...sourced these from Japan) and a set of KYB dampers to match.
Now, the bad news. I say the car was in perfect condition ... because it no longer is in perfect condition following a relatively minor low-speed fender bender. The passenger side front fender and hood were damaged and it looks like the rad support also moved back a bit. The car is still fully functional and runs/drives without issues, but it needs bodywork to return to it's former glory.
Here are pics from all angles taken yesterday...
This shot most clearly shows the damage...
Interior...
Alpine headunit with 6-disc changer in trunk...
Reasonable mileage for year...
Before the accident, this car easily would have sold for $7500-8000. I was on the search of a 300CE-24 for about 6 months and I bought this one because it was the cleanest and best-maintained example I could find. I've seen 12-valve versions in very rough condition changing hands for $4000. It's rare to find a 24-valver for under $6000. Due to the accident damage, I'm asking just $2200. For that price, I'll include a set of brand-new Euro headlights in unopened boxes. I will entertain reasonable offers for quick sale. We're buying a new car next week and I need this one gone ASAP!
