Interesting car..but I am sure for the price he wants for it...you could get into an '03 W211 E55 which would be a much better car with even stronger performance.

As it is 1 of 1 what happens if you had a engine issue....then you are stuck with an E430? Too much or a rare piece.

Disagree on the performance.

450hp and 488lb.ft is way less than the 500ish hp and 516lb.ft of a W211 E55 do the math my man

I see the car fetched over $20K a good number for a freaky 1 of 1 (signs of a slowly recovering economy)

Well, according to the post this W210 Brabus can hit 192 mph which is a bit faster than a governor removed W211. The Brabus 7.3 can hit 204.5 mph, so, when you say, a "W211 is a much better car with even stronger performance", I can't agree, as it is about equal. And we all know about 03-04 W211 QC and reliability issues, so I can't really go with you on the "much better car" thing either.

That being said, given the two, I would go for the W211, since, as you put it, "the engine issues will kill you." And, its a 430.

W210 E55, Custom Turbocharged
W211 is a heavy pig compared to the W210. And the suspension is a joke when it comes to actually track use compared to the W210 E55. The only REAL piece of AMG gear on a W211 E55 is the engine. Anyways not gonna rant on the reality of a real AMG vs the trim line they became.
