You have to love dumb people. Someone tried, but failed. The least these people could have done was to figure out the correct orientation for the AMG decals...

I almost bought this crap heap! The problems dont end there.... The ENTIRE car shakes when it is braking and accelerating, none of the steering buttons work, and they were gonna give me 20k for my car, 23k with mods, id rather give it to a family member than sell it for that!

It was a tuner experimental car

It was given bigger turbos then taken off ..... The car has been through the mill

Sad but the dealer has no clue ......they think the car just had some rims put on it LMAO
