A bargain E55 AMG

Btw this is not my car before someone shoots me down in flames

Looking around for something quick and nice as have the chance to upgrade my car due to an unexpected windfall coming my way.

Seen this one for sale £11K E55 AMG, from the price this looks like a bargain, why is the speedo is showing kmh? but the miles below shows 53647MI as the distance covered ??

What questions should I ask the seller as there is not a great deal in the description. Obviously there is no mention of service history, anything else to probe about. Is there anything from the pics to show this is another model made to look like an amg version, looking at it will be hard for me as it is a 600 mile drive so would like to be armed with questions before wasting a day.

Ah ok, just popped into the ph forums and seen the posts autotrader lists a similar spec car at £23k! My budget wont run that high, oh well back to the audi s6 line of thinking.

It has a European kmh speedo but the odometer has been switched to US spec so miles so it has 53K miles and is probably a correct reading. It is easy to switch back.

The car is WAY too cheap even with all of the E55 bargains so my guess is the same as others, there is probably a reason! Wreck rebuild? Flood damage? Major hidden issue?
