With the salvage title, so long as you dont expect anything back from it in terms of money value, I'd buy it for $1800. You'll spend more in bodywork to make it closer to mint though.

Not sure I have ever heard of a W210 AMG being stolen before? I wonder how that happened?

Front and rear bumpers cracked, both from the same incident while the cars was parked? :eyeballs:

It's a little more than just a few issues. I saw it on craigslist. FYI it has a full E320 interior and the E55 front bumper replacements are really hard to find. If you're handy and you don't mind putting in the work, then go for it.

Do you think I could get it fixed for under 3500 I don't wanna spend more than 5300 total?

Squid23 I just found it hit into some snow In north Caroline, where the car was originally from

+100 I just look closely the leather seat, they are not E55 leather seat. They look just like regular W210. The stealing wheel looks like E55 but those seats are definitely not. Front and Rear. Not worth it ! Be patient and you will find the right one.

if you just want the AMG drivetrain it might be worth it. But it will take some money to get it looking right and prolly more than $3500 unless you take your time do most of the work yourself and find the parts on ebay or at a junk yard.

If you buy that one and this one you could put together one nice car using parts from each.

Pics dont lie. That is a piece of work.

Love the rear bumper ! I wonder where to find those bumpers...

I will not buy it. The price on these cars are cheap enough, you don't have to go that low and get something like that unless you get it for parts. If you have a passion to put it back together like your hobby to restore cars (still the price of these cars are very low) maybe go for it.

Also, he says he gets 26mpg at 75 mph on the highway? That's funny

Considering what the interior looks like, I would guess this guys is trying to pass off an e320 as an E55.

Stay Away.

Offer him 1000 cash, slap on e320 badges/bumpers/wheels(and race unsuspecting e430's), drive it like you stole it until the motor or trans blows. Few things funner than a cheap, comfy, fast beater.

you didn't mention the engine; is it an AMG? That is the first hint. Stay away from Salvage if possible...you going to wind up spending $5,000 + bringing it up to par...did you run a car fax? Your call!! jerryjerry

Hi there,

I think I just purchased this car.

It will be a parts car for my E320 wagon to E55 wagon conversion.
