Looked at a Brabus today
« on: May 19, 2013, 04:55:20 PM »

I went and looked at this example which is on ebay item 350791003015

Well put it this way the pictures do it justice lol, my god what a poor example. Soon as I arrived I noticed the front splitter was loose, had taken a shant on the front right corner as the panels were all out of line. Not one same branded tyre on the car and as for the light modifications absolute crap lol. Opened the bonnet let the engine run noticed that the battery was way too small for the holder, white smoke coing out of the back and the gearbox was making a weird sound on the tst drive. To be fare it was taken in as part ex so wasn't in a state but still my god! Only plus thing out of this experience was the test drive, first ever in a Brabus and OMG WOW even if this one is a dog still went like stink.
I did contact Strike seeing if his Brabus is still for sale waiting to hear

I'm sure the right one will come along soon. I remember a couple of years back I saw a really nice example at S2 Smarts for sale looked stunning. Silver with the Mono As
