Posing as a car that is no longer in production...

I think that is pretty deceitful. At least put on a quad exhaust and V8 Kompressor badges to complete the illusion.

Wow, the badges are accurately placed for once! Eh, it makes more power than a '01-'02 S55 does it not?

It didn't need to take much to change it to a poser vehicle. Take the zero off and add AMG by using the Lineright device from Home Depot and you're good!

Could be something as simple as the Zero falling off

If i recall, Nevada Jack's S Class had the AMG insignia on the trunk, no one called him a poser. Looks like the Zero fell off, which makes for the correct placement of the badges--they were placed at the factory.

What I find even more descpicable is that he is trying to sell it as an S55. It is really misleading to say that it is a 2007 S55 for sale.

None of my cars, including my S550 never had a AMG badge on the back. When I show an AMG badge it will represent the brand, not "pose" as an original.

This seller is not only a poser, he is also deceiving the buyers with advertising it as an AMG model. I guess he feels he will get someone who has no idea of what AMG models are all about.

So if I take off my "zero" will I have an E55? How much faster will my car be? Will my fuel economy go down? Will my insurance go up?

The "0" must weigh a few ounces. I say you'd gain considerable performance and gas mileage gains from the weight lost.

Not to mention, reduce aerodynamic drag when driving in reverse.

I can't believe someone will post a car on Ebaymotors with a picture of an S550 and saying its an S55. My goodness....

You'll notice that he has ended the listing. I sent him and email and told him that if he didn't remove his fraudulent listing that I would email any of his bidders and inform them of the deception. I'm sure I'm not the only one who did this, but it worked.

He says the car has every option available. Just by looking at it you can tell he doesn't have distronic plus. Ridiculous!!
