A very interesting AMG for sale in Phoenix...

I have to admit, I like to scour craigslist, but when things like these come up, I simply shake my head.

!!!!!!!2000 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG 35000 Miles!!!!!!!

Looks innocent enough from the front.... WAIT... are those "custom" foglights and is that a "spoiler" on the back?


Yep, sure is...


Chrome fenders, door trim, and "custom" wheels...


V8 Kompressor?


Fully "custom" leather wrapped steering wheel... Sure, the airbag no longer works, but with this nice of an interior, would you really want to live if you hit something?


And the best part...

I have a restored 2000 E55 AMG Mercedes Benz. I will be taking offers until December 15. At that time it will be sold as is to the highest bidder. Orignial mileage is 35,000 with clear ownership. Serious inquiries only. Call Craig at 623-486-5523
I'm taking it that by "restored" he means wrecked, stolen, or otherwise salvaged title. Sad that such a low mileage example of the W210 had to go through this...

I don't even think it's a real E55. Look at the brakes, they appear to be from an E320/E500.

Holy crap! You can see for the V8 kompressor close up what an outstanding paint job. We should all call and offer lots of cash for the one off E55!

The front bumper is deffinetly not an AMG. The rear is and the exhaust. The dash cluster looks AMG! Some dummie rearended someone and then just threw on a E320 front clip! LOL

I usually dont like to talk trash , but the car all makes sense if you look at the paint job/ body kit on his Tahoe in the garage. It tells you the taste this certain person has.

You can see the mismatch in the paint. Hell the front clip looks like single stage paint too.

Is that a trunk logo on the steering wheel where he clearly neglected to reinstall an airbag? Rearry? At least have the decency to built the car back safe.

Just noticed the ad says "serious inquiries only"! You gotta be pretty seriouly ignorant to buy that piece of crap!
Look at the driveway pic. he has an ad in the window and I think the price is $12k!

I actually e-mailed that guy about five months ago after coming across his car on craigslist because it was hysterical. This is what I wrote below.

Hi. I just wanted to say you have officially ruined the W210 AMG body with your posing and ricey mods. I had no reason to e-mail you but since I am a die hard Mercedes guy I just had to let you know how I feel. The car is not a compressor either nor does that aftermarket front bumper look good or the altered interior leather seats. Good luck with sale, but I just had to let you know coming from a former w210 amg owner myself that your car is disgusting.

Somebody on this board should call the guy and ask him questions and record it and than post it up here on this board. That would be all time classic material!
