C32 identity crisis on ebay

It doesnt have the C32 front grille either.
And the most funny thing about the auction...."We are a wholesale dealership that has been making honest deals for close to 20 years. We are a firm believer in trying to provide an honest car at a great price...."
Hahahahaha!!!
I wonder what a "dishonest" car would look like!!!

It appears that the car may have been in a front end incident
The car probably has had some tyoe of front end work due to an accident or curb meeting. Although they do state: "It has been well maintained and has never been in any acccidents."

The accident is probably the only explanation - the instrument cluster and the engine are definitely C32. Unless - for whatever reason - the owner didn't like the C32 front end and wanted to go for a custom, non-AMG front end.... why, I have no idea.

Looks like it could have have been in a wreck
The stickers on the front cross member are not there anymore. The C32 has the Mobil 1 recommended by AMG sticker and two stickers warning about high voltage for the xenon headlights. Both of those are missing so the cross member could have been replaced.
If my car cam back from the body shop with non amg parts I would not take it lightly!

this could all be a possibility.
However, I currently have 27 boats listed on ebay, and I can tell you right now, sometimes I make mistakes in auctions and mix up pictures. Maybe the person who did the auction accidentally posted pictures of a regular C class instead of a C32...believe it or not, this could have happened easily.
just the same though, the car could have been in an accident...you never know.

The front picture is taken in the same lot as the other pictures and the headrests are in the same position from both the front and rear. So I think the accident theory is probably on target. Maybe the body shop saved a few $ with a regular C bumper from the junkyard...

I just want to know how the hell do I get our car to run 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds.
maybe I need racing slicks...
someone should e-mail them at their email address...
