Well with out an engine pic its hard to say, but here is my guess

Option A
its a poser who got the AMG brakes to look good with his wheels

Option B
its a guy who wants a stealth car and did the following
Removed ALL AMG outer design parts (spoilers, exhuests etc)

my guess A as there is not engine pic and why would u not show such a thing, if it was a real AMG!

I am pretty sure it's A. The seller is false advertising, people will think that is a 55. The exhausts are not even the AMG single tips, so what are they?

Steering wheel?
Alcantara? Where is it?
Seats are different on a 55, those look exactly like my 500 seats.

If that is a real 55, something is definitely not right.

It's real, but it's been wrecked. Hard.

This explains everything, all the pieces fall in place. I hope he lets whoever buys this thing know it has a salvage title.

Is a no brainer, it is a CLS500. The biggest and easiest give away is the body style. The front and back bumpers is so obvious, not an AMG body style, 4 fins grill oppose to 3 on AMG, single exhaust oppose to dual.
