03 s55 pulley noises?
 

Hello all I am really thinking of buying a 2003 AMG but the one I got my eye on has a few issues.
Pulley noise not sure wich one but I plan on taking to the dealer.
Dynamic seats not working.
Rear passenger window not functional.
Needs motor mounts.
Needs strut mounts.
This car has only 55XXX miles what the hell?
Are these flags to walk away? Im really interested in this one.

The car is 10 years old no mattter what the mileage is but the bad motor mounts may indicate some spirited driving (which is what these cars are meant for I guess) haha.
The age would account for the window issue, the dynamic seats are also minimal. Does the pulley sound go away when the car is warmed up? Im not sure what you mean about strut mounts.
There is enough wrong now to consider walking away, but you didnt tell us what the price was...if it is low enough, these are all fairly common issues (struts?).
My 2005 model has the same miles but doesnt have any of the issues you describe so this car may have been driven hard or abused in the past.....that pulley and the basic engine and suspension condition should be your most important areas.
My 2 cents.

Check my post at benzworld.org in the W220 forum to your request, and ditto the previous poster above me!

You just need new idlers pulley`s , as they go bad a lot. We stock ASP billet idlers to repalce those and they come with high speed ZZ rated bearings.

How much?
