Is this a good buy ??????
Looking into getting either a E55 or E63 AMG. Found some for 20s and then some in the 10s.

https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5466338025.html

I stumbled across this one and from i see looks nice but what do you guys think.
What scares me off is the mileage and it seems to be very cheap? Deal or trouble?

My budget is about 22k so would it be worth getting a lower mileage one?
Thanks.

little high on kms but its a good deal if the bbs are authentic and all mod listed were true. c63 muffler itself is $700+


with those mods its very fast already if you are coming from an e46

E55
A thorough scan with STAR will reveal all issues. Get these cars thoroughly inspected before purchasing. A few hundred dollars will save you thousands in the long run.
