I had a check engine light pop up last week and the code was for a mass air flow. The light cleared by itself later that day. I check the harness pins and wiring and it checked out good. Count on a mass air flow sensor replacement...

Sorry for the response delay. Price is still $7,000 - FIRM.

I see from your pictures, you have a "K&N" air filter...I had the Speed Tuning chip upgrade done in my car and had them also put a K&N filter in at the same time. Withing 10 miles after installing the filter, my CEL came on and the code was MAF sensor. I cleaned the old sensor and it still threw a code. Replaced the MAF sensor, changed back to the OEM filter and haven't had a problem since. Apparently alot of people have had the same experince with K&N filter. I called them and they claimed it wasn't the filter.

Love the photo album. That car is fastidiously clean...you're as crazy as me! Must be the line of work we're in...

That K&N was very short lived. I removed it because the intake noise was unacceptable for my taste. Hot wire MAF sensors and oil/gauze filters just don't go together!

Thank you for the compliments. Your gorgeous E55 styled E300 was major inspiration for my build.

Just bought a cts-v, so the E300 has to go..

If you're just giving it away.....

Dont go forgetting me! Just cause Im in Vietnam, soon to be in China, doesn't mean Im not following the boards!

Sounds like you are a bit more ready now?

I didn't think a suitable replacement would come along so quickly! I'll give it to the middle of the week and probably make an ad on autotrader.

I hope one just like this comes around again in a few months

Hey guys, I posted the wrong cell # in the original description. The correct number is : 724-261-8150

Love the CTS-V and like you, I think it has a lot of appeal to Benz heads. New or used? I'm guessing these will start to pop up with 50@75K miles and if they weren't abused that's just about the break in period. Coupla details more?

I bought a low mileage 1st generation 2005 with the 400hp LS6. The 2nd generation 560hp LSA is out of my price range for a vehicle that will be used as a daily driver. It's stock except for a Corsa exhaust and Lingenfelter intake. It really pulls hard and handles surprisingly well. I drove it back to back with a E39 BMW M5 and truly favored the feel of the Cadi. I'll be adding a more aggressive cam here shortly. My co-worker has a Z06 with the identical engine fitted with a hot cam and that lopey idle is just intoxicating!

The only picture I have at the moment:

Update: The car is still available. One from today:
