[QUOTE=keith954;4845644} Did you test drive it? You would know if it had 700hp over 500hp. The price seems to be around the market value from what I just saw on autotrader.[/QUOTE]

How exactly would he know if it had 700hp or over 500hp from a test drive if he has never driven a 500+hp vehicle before?

06 CLS55 w/ P030, 05 Jag S Type R, 05 TBird-68 Dodge Charger R/T-440 w/4speed I'm original owner
It has the upgraded Alcatara Steering wheel which comes in the P030 performance package, but the rims are definitely not the (expensive) original 2 piece AMG wheels that come with the P030 option. In addiiton, the front rotors, even though are compound rotors, they appear not to be factory Brembo due to the lack of the 4th row of drilled holes.
Looks like the car has been stipped of some of its goodies and may not even be a P030 optioned car. Check out the VIN on Netstar with a MB dealer to verify the options that was part of the factory build.

I would pass on this one. Its been around the corner one to many times.

Good eye . I second m_berman's advice. There's so much inventory out there given the fact that the new model is out (and the economy is in the tank) so you can afford to be picky and find the perfect car for you..
