I have been talking to a couple of guys by PM.... I am looking for newer miners - like Antminer S4 and S5 or any Spondoolies - i am looking for a trade of about equal value--- the car value is about $18,000-$22,000 with the options it has and the Extended warranty when shopped by VIN number....
Topic: (WTT) 2008 Mercedes Benz C300 for BTC Miners (Read 1726 times)
so no one has offered you besides the guy above, whats your ideal deal? just curious, cause my friend owns a data center and they cleaning out alot of these.
I don't think I will have a hard time selling it.... just been very busy and not in a hurry.... also thought it would be great if I do find someone to trade... I have had a few interested people from here...
I thought about making it a Raffle car using someone like OgNasty to run it with like .5 to 1 BTC tickets..... not crazy about the Auction idea when I could drive it to CarMax and sell it.... As far as taxes and registration, the value has to be claimed regardless of weather it is a trade or not (in my experience but it may be different in different places)
cant you re-sell the car a good pretty good chunk of change like on craigslist?
I remember I sold my car off by like $2,000 but still got around my target price. Im sure there is a demand for the car and just add bitpay underneath it or something for possible btc transaction.
I'd be willing to do a raffle like that instead of outright buying it.
I would definitely be interested in a raffle.

Word of advice cause it doesnt hurt, I would just post this on the auction thread and see the response of the # of btc you`ll recieve.
Then use that to understand how many miners you should expect, unless you dont care. But I like to be precise on everything cause it all counts when mining bitcoin.
The real question: Wouldnt the title be a tax burden on the buyer?
Scenario: A kid whos in his mid 20`s can have 50 btc or mining gear whatever, then when registering the car etc at DMV doesnt match up to what he does make per year. The IRS says hmmm you got a nice shiney object?

Yes maybe it would be true if he bought a Ferrari or an mansion, but not an 8 year old Mercedes.

I know it is a little crazy and I do not anticipate anyone wanting to do it but I am looking to trade a 2008 MB C300 for BTC miners. I am going to sell the car later this week but wanted to give this a shot first. I have more cars than miners and want to change that around. The car has 69k miles and has an extended warranty up to 75k miles. It runs great and is in good condition.
I will upload additional pics this evening. It is pretty dirty in these pics but the weather is nice so I am going to wash it today.
Clean Title in hand.

Knc Mercury
Bitfury Full Kit

Woah that's crazy

These are great cars but I really wish more of them came in manual.
I heard the 7 speed automatic is a nightmare if not maintainced properly by the original owner.
How much are you looking to sell for?

I don't think so, German cars, and even more Mercedes tend to be really reliable. I've not heard any complaint about the automatic gearbox, and for a car like this having a manual transmission is pointless. You will consume more fuel...
No. German luxury cars are actually the most unreliable cars you can buy these days.
They have alot of new technology that tends to fail.
Mercedes were like tanks back in the 80-90s.
Would love to see some real data on this assertion... As an owner of many German cars that always treated me right (2 2014 BMWs currently in the stable) and my constantly failing GMC I would love to know what you base this on..
Its common sense.
For example,
Most Germany cars use plastic impellers for the water pump. They do this to reduce weight so the car is more fuel economical. But the plastic throughout the years ages and is much more likely to fail compared to a metal water pump.
They also started using electric water pump, these also fail and when they fail they are very difficult to replace and very expensive.
People don't buy Germany luxary cars for reliability they buy it for the brand.

Btw- I'm located in Tennessee
They are selling between $18,000-23,000... Thus car has a few scratches on the rear left bumper (can see it in the picture above)... I would like to get between $18-20-000... The extended warranty adds value to the car--

I think that that happens a lot in USA, (German cars failing), I am in Europe and by experience Audi, Mercedes and VW luxury models have been by far some of the most reliable cars you can have.

That's the cleanest "pretty dirty" car I've ever seen.
