FS 2002 S55 on Ebay need advise

Just ran across this today on Ebay. Sounds too good to be true. Thought i share it with fellow members, Is this deal worth bidding on what should be the max amount.

IMO an AMG with a story is not something I would want to risk. Repairing an AMG is not inexpensive.
Highlander is right. The difference between supercharged and not is incredible. Throw a few more thousand into the deal and make me an offer that is reasonable for my '04 S55 and enjoy a car that will put a smile on your face each time you drive it.

Thanks for the advise every one but I have decided to bid on it. The mileage is super low and condition is very good. Also I found out the most of the engine parts are identical to S500 even the transmission is the same.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Thanks for the advise guys but I bought the car, Engine noise is hardly there now. Fuel injector flush and 2 seafoam cycles solve that problem. Drove it for 783 miles so far including 2 long trips to austin no issues so far Knock on wood
