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'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...

Wow

Sweet whip, somebody is getting a real beauty.

Burn it. Burn it now.


Nevermind, let's do what we did with the rainbow CLK. Bid it up to $2million!!!

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

Hammer Down

The side shot is the best!

Looks better then the fake one I saw roaming around Tracy this week, to top it off he went around me and got on it while I was in my fake w211 E55 of course. I was so embarrassed and ashamed

MB_Forever

Ouch..... that is bad..... they should've left it salvaged, it would've looked better

And what's up with the steering wheel?

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.

SterlingE55

V8 Kompressor?


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.

SterlingE55

Sweet calipers too.

emoving

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!

motorkas

speechless.

X2Board

That is all.

wizos6

Is that the keyless go?? Wait nope thats not...Wow i was going to offer 40K if it had extended warranty...Love that custom stitch on the steering wheel--Reminds me of that custom sweater I got on blue light special at K-Mart.

Thericker

WoW that is truly SPECIAL & WTF is that a puffy Chopper seat velcro'd to steering wheel???

Taso

Look at that BOTCHED attempt of a paintjob.

007Benz

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.

I tried to find the reply that he sent me because it was also hilarious and he said he could give me a good deal! LOL I must have deleted it.

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!
