My response on that thread was to go to the AMG private lounge. You have to enter vin#...if AMG allows you to enter, it's a real AMG...no entrance = no AMG

none... for now
They aren't anymore, at least in the USA. 2017's on up will be rebranded as AMG's. The hi-output V6's will become X43's.

All about that $$$ and a cheaper "AMG" model is good for sales, afterall

W202 "AMG"






Was walking back to the work g-wagon when I spotted this gem.

The rare gold plated AMG badged W202 with single chrome exhaust tip and brakes the size of contact lenses.
I wish we had met him/her at the lights. Even the loaded up 6x6 diesel would have destroyed it.

Q

I have to ask is the 03 CLK500 by any chance AMG? Im only asking because it has a single exhaust tip yet the OEM wheels say AMG on it, just am confused.

Good rule of thumb is AMG cars have only two numbers in their model designation. Mercedes offered AMG style wheels with the badging for sportier variants of some non-AMG models.

I don't think amg wheels = poser. Reps ???? almost but not really. Not enough that Id give someone crap about it unless they were claiming authenticity.

Nah AMG parts don't make you a poser, putting an AMG badge on your non-AMG car makes you a poser.

browsing craigslist and found this 2003 CLK 500 thats "same as supercharged AMG"

Please read...

Rare Mercedes Benz CLK 500 Renteck special edition. extremely well maintained and cared for by Rusnick Mercedes.

This fast and rare vehicle (0-60 4.9 seconds: Same as a Supercharged AMG) is adult owned and driven. it is perfect inside and runs like it looks!

this car was factory chiped, lowered, upgraded manifold and exaugust, and goes 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. (Similar to a Saleen & Ford).

I have invested over $20,000 invested. this car has new breaks, roders, synthetic oil change, perfect interior, dash, power everything and new Perrelli tires all the way around ($1300). Brand new front window from Mercedes with all new censors ($900.00)

You will sew the Raw Power and comfort in his amazing automobile that sold for $63,000.

Time for a larger family Benz, this is a great car! and needs nothing!!

somebody in the area should go and pretend to be excited about the car, get the hood open, (snap a few pics of course, for all of us to see) and express some disbelief and record the guy hemming an hawing. I'd also like to see them go for a test drive, ask the guy to hold a stopwatch, and then attempt to duplicate that 4.9 secs to 60, all the while recording his asinine excuses. He should then be posted on some kind of shaming website for all the world to see. This is an egregious act of posing.

In his description "I have invested over $20,000 invested. this car has new breaks, roders, synthetic oil change, perfect interior, dash, power everything and new Perrelli tires"

It has new breaks and roders, and it's a real "Renteck"
