Hello Everyone,
My name is Jon. I recently just purchased a 2003 Brilliant Silver Metallic S55 AMG from a MB enthusiast in VA. I usually am a BMW enthusiast but picked up this car because of some changes with my job recently. I bought the car completely stock from the owner and I have only added lowering links and a clean lip wing. My only other plans for the car is legal window tint and a staggered set of 5 spoke concave wheels. Here are some pictures of how she sits as of now, I am looking forward to seeing all of your rides.
My previous cars this year..
2007 Alpine White M6
2003 Carbon Black E39 M5
those are just a couple of about 4 that I had this year, Now onto the pics of the S55 AMG..
Here it is when I picked it up..

nice collection. how di you like the m6 (smg/6mt?) ive been curious about those, and wondering how it holds up, maintenance etc.
Thank you!
The M6 was a very fun car to drive. The previous owner who I purchased it from was the second owner and the smg clutch was replaced before 40k miles which I thought was odd. Honestly I didn't have the car very long. About 2 weeks after i bought the car I found out my job of 5 years was closing at the end of the year so I sold it because it was the least practical car and I also have a mortgage and family to support. I sold the car with 44k miles on it.
A guy I knew that owned a 06 was telling me how his car was barely passed the 8 year/80k mile emissions warranty and the dealership wanted to charge him nearly $19k to replace the full exhaust system. That was a red flag for me as well considering the car itself isn't worth a lot more than that
