I think that car is the SHIZ nizel! Techtite, upgraded steering wheel, euro bumper strips, original equipment Conti Contacts and super clean! Oh and merlot inserts! Oh and tinted windows. I would black the grill, wrap the roof and put a set of rims and that car will look NASTY! Lock it up before turdfuk buys it, oh wait, he aint buying shiat!

This is what I am thinking. I have too many parts to swap over so I might buy this one first and sell mine after so I can swap over for OEM parts...Plus I want to keep my ugly CLS550 wheels lol
I have offers of 13-14k private or those autotrader.com trade in offer of 12k cash. Either way I will be fine

Nice car, but I wonder why the V8 kompressor badges are not in the correct location?

The hood and headlights line up perfect. If anything, maybe they were removed and reinstalled. He did some minor appearance mods with the bumper strips and tint so maybe he removed them at some point and reinstalled them. Techtite is a pretty easy color to see paintwork and all panels look dead on. That horrible CLS55 in the FS section that was pewter was a repaint. The guy finally admitted it after I looked at the pics and called him out. This looks pretty spot on dont you think?

Send that car to a benz dealer for a ppi before handing over money. they will verify the car is legit (i.e. seller actually has the car to bring in to the dealer), check mechanical systems, look for frame/unibody repairs, etc.
even if their inspection sucks, it's the best $150 you'll ever spend for insurance.
you CAN NOT buy an AMG benz without a PPI, it's craziness. i buy 20+ a year, no way on earth would i buy blind.
oh, wait, i bought a 2004 S600 as-is, so far have put (at retail benz dealer value) $22K into it making it 100%. take my advice.

I know what PPI is, I was asking if I should get a PPI or take it to Benz. Like I said Benz is 50miles away, so I don't think that's possible. Is there a site where I can look it up in his area besides Google lol

Haha sorry I meant to say which is better. I know Benz would be best but it is too far. All PPI's do same inspection is or is there 1 that would do inside out completely?
