E55 Questions? please help

Hello folks... I have been trolling the forum for a while now reading up on MB cars and mostly the E55...

I am looking at the AMG E55 and considering picking one up as a fun to drive impractical commuter car.

My question is simple... how reliable are they after 100k miles? most i have seen are nearing or passed 100k simply due to the age of that model...

I have found one that has been modded with a eurotune and exhaust up 600hp... the problem is that it has 131k miles on it... the price is decent at 19k... I am just leery of the miles...

Here is a list of mods:
ALPHA 172mm Pulley with Custom ECU Tune
MBH Long tube headers
Eurocharged Heat Exchanger (coated black)
Vibrant 200cell racing catalytic converters
Magnaflow x-pipe with factory resonator removed
S55 Intake tube upgrade
New Spark plugs (16)
Powder coated Surge tanks (intake plenums)
Suvneer Carbon fiber Front lip
Suvneer Carbon fiber Rear diffuser
Suvneer Carbon fiber trunk spoiler
Suvneer Carbon Fiber Mirror covers
MB Replica 18” wheels Staggered
Lowered with the factory Computer using STAR
30% tint all around (not the windshield)
HID Headlight bulb upgrade to 5000K Phillips Bulbs

any advice?

thanks,

--Noob

That car is pretty well set up with base mods and with 172mm pulley, has not had much boost thrown at the car. That car should make about 510-530 RWHP and 19K is not a bad asking price, if all has been kept up well.
