- Bone stock
- Flint Grey
- 139,000 mi
- Asking $9,500
- Work claimed to have been done by owner: Rear air springs, front control arms, thrust arms, balljoints, eccentric bolts, alternator, battery, coolant, trans service, pretty much everything that was big. did spark plugs recently . car needs steering angle sensor

Description:
Selling my 2005 E55 AMG With Currently 138,565 Miles. Ive owned it for 2 years and can say it has been more fair to me than my previous car a 2009 e550. I have done alot of work to the car spark plugs, air filters, lots of preventitive maintnence, battery, alternator, motor mounts, ect. Recently purchased a new vehicle so i could use the money but im not gonna take any dumb offers. The cars interior is really clean i have alot of baby stuff in the car since we still are using it but i can promise the leather is in amazing condition.

----------------------------------------
I am looking for an 05/06 Flint Grey. IDK if this mileage is too high for a fun weekend car that I want to pulley/LT/tune

could always get an aftermarket warranty if worried

He replied to my email answering questions he already answered from the previous email (?) and then texted as well saying how busy he has been and he'll get me pictures in a few minutes.

That was 4 days ago.

Yeah, this is a totally new element of a car sale to me. I am not dealing with him anymore, even if he replies.
I can see about 10x more of these annoyances down the road if I try to buy his car...

Buy the seller.

Is the seller trustworthy? If not, pass and move on.
