Its obvious to me that he is not trying to sell it as an E55 since it says "I also have a set of factory E320 rims", "engine: 6-cylinder", and "E320" in the listing. Nowhere does it claim its an E55. Sure the AMG badges are tacky, but does that justify calling and emailing this person to harass them? You people are blowing this way out of proportion.

What really makes mercedes owners look bad is harassing someone you don't even know over stupid sh*t like that. That guy never claimed this car was E55, and if you look at the specifications, it states that its a 6-cylinder. Sure its stupid to put fake badges on cars, but its his car and if he wants to rice it out, that's his problem. I can't believe some of you were actually calling this guy to harass him, don't you have anything better to do with your time? Isn't that a little immature?
I didnt call this guy
I just asked the seller a question through e-bay

This guy deserves worse! Anyone who falsely badges there car to that extent for their own personal satisfaction is nothing but a loser.

If he did sell for a POS Chevy, it would be a step up from his faux E55.
My comment was about the post before mine (see below)
24's on anything other than a SUV is ghetto IMO.

I feel that your hood comment was inappropriate. Regardless of who gets duped on purchasing this vehicle, be it a person well off or a pauper, you make it seem that people that live in certain impoverished areas are ignorant and more susceptable to being taken advantage of. A zipcode does not automatically mean that a person will have 24's. I have seen gaudy cars in ALL neighborhoods. But, you are entitled to your opinon as I am. Is this logical?
