Ebay S55, must read description. hilarious..
can't blame the guy for not being honest..
Unfortunately, this is the ownership experience many have with these cars. No price (in my opinion) justifies buying one of these without warranty.

Haha that is too funny! What he says is a bit true, most of the issues he mentioned are common items that eventually go wrong. (The suspension stuff, ABC, etc.) Most of it is normal wear and tire items that can happen over time with any car, though.
Funny way to sell a car though, in the very end he does say it's a fast car to drive. At least it was not all hell and brimstone.
I think it depends on your viewpoint: Definitely good to have a warranty with these cars, some people, (me for example!) have an S55 with over 100k miles, so it's harder to get a warranty. So then the viewpoint is important - I know stuff may go wrong, so I do all of the maintenance religiously, and have money aside if something big goes wrong out of the blue, like ABC.
That guy has less than 100k miles though, he should have really have gotten a warranty for that.

Yes, he is going with the complete moron approach, right down to the hillbilly grammar and the tired 'I borrowed the money from my brother and I have to pay it back' sad story.
One would think just doesn't have any common sense..or does he? According to the records that he links to, this car came out of Florida had a number of issues, has a lot more unresolved ones and now lives in Utah...this has a strange, citrus scent..lemony.
