Talk About Posers, Here's Another One!!!

This ad on CL is just stupid. I honestly don't know who they're trying to fool. Here's the link: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/car/620853747.html .

LOL damn I know where that place is, I can't believe they put that online.

Anyone care to call the dealer and tell them how full of crap they are?

2005 Mercedes G55 AMG
See, guys like him I don't really mind. At least he didn't put on any badges to fool others, all he did was install some bodyparts and exhaust. It actually looks pretty good.

But thats just my opinion though...

EDIT: THIS WAS MY OPINION UNTIL I SAW THE TITLE OF THE LISTING

I think that was the deal's tactic to get hits on craigslist. The car itself is de-badged, so no posing there. The quad pipes are a bit over the top if they are fakes. I like the interior, but that price is too high for a V6.

Ya, I know...Lately it seems like half the entire stock of E320s has been rebadged as "55"s

Mercedes is really missing a whole market here! Maybe they should just come out with a "Poser Edition" and sell E320s with "E55" badges and exhaust right from the factory...

I like the interior, and the wheels, they should have just called it a nicely equiped E320 and not mentioned the E55 part, they would have gained a lot more cred that way.

At what point does one cross the poser line? There is a local guy here modding his CLK55 with Black Series body, fenders and wing, he is bugging me to buy my stock wheels. I asked him if he is planning on putting BS badges on it and he says he is, but keeping the 55 badges as well. So is he a poser? I think so!
