Hello,

need help!!!


I am looking at this 2004 "amg e55"

can someone tell me if this is a true amg or fake.

no amg kompressor behind the steering wheel or on the door.

is this possibly a cloned e500? Can anyone tell by the pics.

thanks

Fake!

1, no Amg brakes
2, rear bumper not made to accompany those dual tips
3, wrong front bumper
4, roof antenna is on the glass and not directly on the roof
5, looks like a base model to me.

agree, fake. No front aero either

why dont you just ask to see title or the vin?

Gersh320

Yes on the VIN. I would not even think about buying this car, judging by the condition of his garage.

Pathetic..throw this guy in the official poser sighting thread in w211 AMG section. Is this clown actually trying to sell the car as an e55?

maudive

Yes. Hes trying to sell it as an amg. hes trying to tasse it for my vehicle. He is two hours away so I was researching it before I met him. The first thing i noticed was the rotors.
What is in the vin to tel if its amg?

Thanks for the help too

It is fake, just take a look at the speedometer, The RPM and the clock, they all should have red needles, those are white, moreover, the center display should have a blue backlight.

there is endless proof it's not amg... idk how much more proof you need

ask him to send you a pic of the title it'll have make, model, etc on it if you really really need to re-assure yourself of the obvious... and its a very poor attempt of trying to pawn it off as a amg

When you email him, be sure to ask of he puts socks in his underwear too..

Just noticed the Missouri plates. What part is he located in? I'm in the KC area. I can tell you right off the bat it's not an AMG from the details pretty much everyone has covered. There is a verrrry minor chance that it still could be an AMG though...could be that it was in an accident and replaced with cheaper E500 parts...which would be dumb in my opinion.

maudive

no, he is from branson. think its right outside of springfield. You know him? LOL.

im in st louis, so we are supposed to meet in the middle. but its still 2.5 hours away. i wanted to be sure before i drove all the way out there and met this guy.

Well i got him to send me a pic of the engine bay. i think this should put the debate to a rest.

thanks again.

Those LED looks funny and the bumpers is not even AMG lol.

Duc1098E500

I guess my E500 has an AMG motor too. lol!

maudive

thats why i posted it. Figure besides seeing the title, which i dont have, the engine would be the determining factor of the debate....

WDB211276..... (E55 AMG wagon)

Duc1098E500

How much was his asking price?

maudive

He is wanting to trade for my escalade and i was wanting to get back in a bmw/mercedes.
i just dont know enough about them to say 100% if its fake or not. but i have seen people try to pass of 500's as e55s.

erifly

Southern Missouri...that explains that..loljk. And no way that could be a friend of mine...I would give him one of these . That has to be illegal for him to try to sell it as an AMG...private sale or not.

Duc1098E500

I guess I'm a poser too since I am putting a Gary E63 front bumper along with amg big brakes. However no e55 or e63 badges. :p

maudive

then what is this guy talking about????
saying it does or doesnt?

PortAxePlayer1

He's Just Kidding, notice the ''lol'', of course it doesn't :p
