25L??? am i reading it right?
Thats the price of a 2-3 year regular E-class.

1.4 crores price is inconsequential as I understand current E65's are cheaper!?...current price could be looked at for depreciation in the last 6 years.

The price just went up to 27.5 L on the same ad between last week and now? Good old Indian rope trick?

The dealer has upped his price as canonball has mentioned, the car has been parked at his place since over a week and no real buyers i reckon,with several inquiries on the vehicle, he may have thought that upping the price by 2.5 lac will assure a minimum of 25-26 lacs IMO on a firm sale to a serious buyer.

I doubt it will get anywhere close to 25-26 unless you are the proposred buyer transam. Ofcource it's not impossible, just improbable. W211's are just not in that category. If at all being w211 works against it as they are available a dime a dozen in various engines locally and depreciate like a falling brick. So visual impact being stale makes it a less attractive proposition to drop anything lose to the asking price. As Akshay stated w212 can be had for this and the cache of e55 in w211 just does not cut it to pay the kind of premium sought. Going forward supply of AMG's will only increase = more choices

I am most certainly not looking at buying the car, SM (the dealer) is probably expecting this high a price, post many enquiries and the car is still with him as of Wednesday morning. My friend also let her pass, he had to fly out for an urgent family function, probably on his return get some info on what transpired.

Which dealer is this?A heavily modded car such as this(that too a German) would be struggling to touch the 20s..Nonetheless, I wanted to have a look.Please pm me the dealer details if disclosing it on the forum isn't an option.

Not really seen any wrap removing been down so far locally to really be sure it is being done well. Would not want to be a Guineapig in india in such un chartered territory

Depends on what type of car wrap you're referring to. The only types that can cause paint damage are these
