S55 Poser for Sale: Hope it's not owned by a Member Here
Found this on Craigslist.... http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/car/103580148.html
I thought I got a good deal
The most annoying thing is not the car itself.... but how the title is very misleading... 
I just don't understand why people do this.... (not that I care... I just find this quite amusing so I post here to entertain some members
) wouldn't it make other people think that you could not afford getting the real one? I'd rather make people think that I don't want to get S55... than would like to get S55 but could not afford one so I rebadge my car to fool people

It he loads in a 5.5L V8 AMG engine, then I guess its alright because at that point, it would be a full conversion.
But looks like the 430 motor is still sitting in there. If I bought it, I would just shave the badges off.

No longer car shopping...
Seems that a lot of people/posers seem to think that just because they have the ///AMG badge on the car, that they have a true 55 when in fact all they have is a AMG bodykit. This idiot looks like he went so far as to fradulently re-badge it as well. Sad, so sad...
