Many of you know that I been looking for an AMG for a while but haven't found the perfect deal. Running across Craigslist today, I found a salvage theft E55 for $16,500. Is it worth it? I know I will get a PPI if I have a desire to buy it. I think it is a good deal if I can sell my E500 as is for around $12-13k.

Edit: I was going to offer him $15k and see from there. I see the wheels are mismatched so I can plea my case saying I want all 4 wheels to be same.

When the difference between a non salvage clean E55 and a salvage car such as this is a measly 5 grand, no its not worth it..

djrabbi

yet again...don't care what you think...do you really want me to bad mouth your threads? For a guy who can't buy a new E63 grille from the dealer...this makes me LOL

AKnight55

Haven't found the perfect deal? Your worse than this turdster guy..

It's about an hour away from me, so if the seller is flexible in meeting me and having me take a look at it, sure.....

djrabbi

That is pretty nice Clayton. I will message that seller...If your close to it, would you mind check it out? I am sure you will know how it drives and such. I don't want to drive 200+ miles to be disappointed lol....

55fanatic

I agree with this... It's not worth it if that's all you are saving

Toadster

agreed, if you don't mind the mileage it looks pretty decent and a great price - obviously want to get it tested though

emoving

Yes, make sure you get it "tested". LOL

djrabbi

Clayton hopefully will be doing the testing before I come down to MD! haha

emoving

Don't bother clay, Ahmed is working on this one.

moosejaw

As do I.......... for obvious reasons

djrabbi

whose that? I can't remember names....user names are easier to remember

Toadster

if you're using it for a drag car - go for it

djrabbi

you guys are making this hard on me..... NO HOMO!

emoving

This advice coming from a guy that does not even own a MB better yet a AMG.

Toadster

yah, you're right an old '89 5.0 would be cheaper as a drag car

djrabbi

And I thought I was bad with my head in the AMG section more than W211 lol

emoving

Good turdster, go get one and do us all a favor and head to the Ford forums.

Toadster

wait - there's a W211 forum?

djrabbi

I hope your joking lol

I'm heading to the Ferrari forums soon. Going to register there as Turdster.

emoving

That's funny!!!!!!

djrabbi

Messaged the seller. Seems like he is "baller" might just go a lot lower on price......

Marcus, since you down like 5 AMGs...how much was the PPI and anything else I should be aware of?

emoving

PPIs are only like 200 bucks. You just have to drive it and get a feeling. No PPI is gonna tell you a air strut is gonna go out in 100 miles.
