I would Keep Looking
It's a nice machine and alot of car, would be nice to own an AMG but The car is 8 years old with close to 100k miles on it.
The steering wheel looks dated and the stick shift on an automatic... not a fan.
The Nav is the old version as well and that is pretty much useless.
Just my opinion but I would get something newer.
Good luck whatever you decide.

One of the bad things i think about buying a used AMG is that a lot of them were bagged by their previous owner(s). Judging by the mesh on the front of the car i betting the driver drove aggressively a lot of the time and tailed a lot of people resulting in rocks and stuff spitting all over the front of the car. This would not only damaging the mesh, but i cant tell from the picture, but there are probably lots of rock chips and the fog light casings if they are glass are probably cracked. At a mb dealership up where i live in Canada there are 2 2006 e55s with 60 or 70 thousand kms (not sure miles, sorry) for under 30k. Im betting you will be able to find one in much better shape in your price range in no time.
Good luck with your search!
