Saying hello; new AMG owner

Hello everyone. Just picked up my (new to me) 2005 C55 AMG in Cincinnati and drove it home to Missouri over the weekend. I've been lurking, pre-purchase, for a few weeks checking out what to expect. Rolled over 80,000 miles as I pulled into my garage. Some little quirks like one rear headrest that won't go down all the way and some rattling from the front passenger door trim, but other than that everything seems to be in order.

Here's the only photo I've stopped to take thus far.

Welcome to MBWorld and grats on the pickup. Looks to be in pretty good condition. Those little quirks just add character lol. As long as the major stuff is good, you're fine and seems like you already had a nice little jaunt on your way home.

Let us know if you ever want to give her a modern facelift with some whiter LED/HID lighting. We have plug and play canbus units

Thank you. Considering tinting the windows (usually the first thing I do to any new car I acquire) but I'm sort of in love with the blue hue.
