Go for 2007 and UP

W211 from 2003 through 2005 had lots of problem. Spcially please don't buy 2003, there were lots of bugs and recall on 2003.

If you can afford then buy 2007 on W211, almost all the issues are gone from earlier models in 2007.

Whatever there's gas in...
I don't see anything AMG about it.

EDIT: Nevermind, the AMG decal near fenders must be an easy extra 100 hp

that is a completely BULL***** ebay listing. 370+ HP? No engine modifications....not even a cheap, aftermarket intake? Abosolutely NO description on the modifications he added for the extra 70HP?

$1000 custom chrome key? It's no more than $200 FULL price at the stealership.

The interior is ALL beat up....front AND rear.


Stay away from this car. The seller of this car knows absolutely NOTHING about this car, except the fact that he knows how to order cheap $5.00 AMG stickers to place on all the headrests and fenders.........

+1.

This car should be avoided like the bubonic plague, 370hp with no after market exhaust, and listen to how the engine sounds in the video of it starting..it sounds like my ML350 to tell you the truth.

Stay away.

Yep, agree with the other guys. There is no such thing as an E500 AMG. This is nothing more than a stock 302HP E500 with AMG stickers on it. And it's not even optioned very well at all.

Stay away.

All of them!
It doesn't even have the sport package.
This is not just a poser, but it's deception trying to pass it off and sell it as an AMG.

haha.....i love the little tables with the comparison between the acceleration times of the E500 and E55. I wonder how long it took him to think of those numbers. Clearly smoking something.....

DO NOT GET THIS CAR. PERIOD!
