WTB S600 or S55 AMG 2003-2005

My father (78) is in the market for an S55 or S600 and has put me to the task of finding the right car for him. I've outlined some preferences below. Descriptions can be sent to me at phdpsyla@yahoo.com

Color: Most anything but black. He is at the age where black is just too challenging to keep looking really nice and he lives in Louisiana where it is HOT

Interior: Flexible. He prefers the light tan or light grey, but understands most will be dark. Must be in very good condition and a non- smoker vehicle.

Options: flexible. They come so loaded. Keyless go would be a plus.

Mileage: Prefer under 60k. Might consider a little higher with good documented maintenance history.

Wheels: Prefer OEM.

Price: He does not expect to steal a nice car, but I will not let it be grossly overpriced. He would be a no hassle cash buyer.

The better the car is documented the higher his interest will be. Condition needs to be above average with a good description of any issues ( dings, scratches, wheel scrapes, etc.). He is not worried about minor things as long as they are disclosed accurately. Would prefer accident free but would consider minor past issues if experienced by the current owner and have pictures of damage and documentation of repairs.

In your emails, please include a reasonable description, ownership history, recent service information, any known issues (cosmetic or otherwise) and pricing. A couple nice pictures will help, but don't send 30. If you have it listed somewhere online include the link.

Thank you and I hope to work with one of you and close a successful purchase.

Richard

All jokes aside

He should be driven around at that age.

All jokes aside, Paul Newman was racing and winning into his 80's.

How you can make a statement like that without knowing the person involved is beyond me.

Actually, he is still quite active and an excellent driver.

Anyway, It is a forum and people are going to feel the irresistible urge to throw in random comments....but we'll try to get back to topic.
