I have seen many E500's, who stuck an AMG badge on the trunk lid or something. At least thats a V8. This thing, is on a whole seperate level... WTF??????????????

LOL!!!! Just hilarious.
Seriously, what are people thinking? This is the first time I've seen the 55 badge on a non 55 car. I see the AMG badge all the time, but this is above and beyond with the E55 badge on the E320. Unreal.

However,The ZR1 is going to be very collectable, simply due to the limited production. While, the C5 Z06 is just a used car at this point...

I just asked the seller a question. See below:
Hello,
Interested in the car. I'm confused though. Your ad states that it has a V6 engine but on the trunk you clearly have E55 and AMG badges. Also I notice a V8 Kompressor badge on the side. Have you swapped engines and added the supercharged E55 V8 or are you clearly posing a V6 car? Please, oh please tell me that you put the supercharged V8 in that car. You have a buyer if you have. If it still has the V6 in it, I would seriously consider removing the poser badging so you don't have a law suit on your hands from a duped buyer.
Thanks.

I just did the same thing (but not as incisively). I just asked the seller a question. See below:

Totally a poseur. PO probably added the rear AMG badging while the car was being repaired from its rear end collision. Then current owner probably thought he was buying an E55.

Looks like he bought the car without knowing it had been wrecked, and now he's trying to dump it.

Copy of my message to this champion among men:
"Why in god's name would you put all of the E55 decals on an E320? You're a poser of the highest order, and I'd bet any amount of money that you don't even have a viper. Please accept my bid of $1 so I can take this POS and have it mashed into a cube."
