- No funny electrical issues. Wiring harness is in good shape.


I’ve owned this car since April 2008. Always garaged at home and the office. Overall, I’d rate this car a 7.5-8 out of 10. It’s by no means a collector’s grade car. However, it IS a well cared for example of a rare AMG car. For a Mercedes and/or AMG enthusiast this is a good car to own. It is a quick car and handles very well when pushed. It can also haul 4 people in comfort on long freeway trips.

I’m selling this car because I’m trying to pare down my fleet to a more manageable size. I have an SUV, so I don’t need two 4-door people haulers.
