Intro: AudiOn19s

Gents,
I've been lurking and posting here and there for the last couple of months while shopping for an E55 and figured now that I've finally got one I should make an official intro thread.

This is my first Mercedes. I'm a huge fan of european autos but have yet to own a Mercedes or AMG model for that matter. It's been a good couple of days since I picked it up on Saturday.

I look forward to being an active member of the community and helping out where I can. Now onto the car.

'04 E55, 32,000 miles, Premium package, Lighting package, NAV, keyless Go, Active / dynamic seats, ventilated seats, homelink, etc.
*Renntech Stage I
*Icing on the cake was the car came with 2 years of aftermarket warranty coverage still remaining.

Car was enthusiast owned but a great guy who loved this car. I own a detailing business here in Ohio and was blown away by how well this car was kept. Could have been one of my own personal cars it was soo nice already. Just have some little details to clean up to bring it up to my standards.

As I picked it up:




Biggie Smalls approves


Day 2: Dropped it (adjustableairride.com links), put the stock grill back on. That CL grill is for sale if anyone is interrested.

'99 A4. 170K miles now and still truckin' along.


'99 996 Aero. More track car than anything now. Has lots of GT3 suspension goodies.



'02 M3.

The previous owner was in Roswell but it's new home is in Ohio. I've gotta get the 30 day tags on there and send him his plates back.

Good purchase!

I would do something about those extra badges though: "limited" and "supercharger" ?

I couldn't agree with you more. They will be coming off of there tonight. I debated completely de-badging the car as I've done with everything else I own but I think I'm going to keep the E55 and AMG badges on the rear.

I didn't even notice the "supercharged" on the side until I was taking pictures yesterday and was like WTF..did he really do that?

I'm going to feel slightly bad about the "limited" badge coming off. It's a Lorinser badge and he paid $75 for the thing! Maybe I'll send it back to him to put on the S65 he replaced the E55 with.

De-badged the fenders completely and "limited" from the rear last night. Still on the fence but might pull the rest of the badges other than the star as well.

congrats and welcome!

man, the previous owner was a tool. I can't believe he changed kompressor to supercharged and much less put on "Limited" from a Toyota.
