I am in Charlotte with a STAR/SDS Scanner. Send me a message and we can work out the details.

Thanks,
Will

$7800 E55... you get what you pay for
I was hoping this was a diamond in the ruff, but sigh it needs a cosmetic overhaul to make it enjoyable again....

Pro's
Solid as a rock transmission and engine, even on cold start up there was no noticeable miss or stumble, all fluids looks in order. It ran like a scalded dog and more than likely had a stage + tune on it... rear tires broke loose in 2nd shift (ventus v12) and ran faster than my dad's stock designo. Solid runner/ second toy car or "strip out the interior and just race it" kinda car

Con's
Lack of service history, serious cosmetic defects inside and out. Multiple STAR failures etc

You know an $80k car has been neglected when the headliner has hot cocoa sprayed all over it and the clear coat is peeling off and bubbling up on more than one panel

I advised against purchase, pics looked clean for a grainy CL ad but up close and personal this car left a lot to be desired.

A complete In-depth review was sent to OP for decision, but I advised against purchase and shipment to west coast for a daily driver of a white collared professional.

It's rather interesting to read the sales description of the car

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-Mercede...3D262483149099

I guess "excellent" and "VERY GOOD CONDITION" are both subjective terms

Wish the timing was a little better, I just snagged a Flint Gray 63 in Charlotte last week.

I was in and out of there like a ninja. The Nascar event that weekend had the airport and city packed. I flew in at 4:45 and was on the road by 6:30. If I'm ever in town again I'll PM.

Yea, talk about traffic chaos

Some roads in charlotte turn into brick walls around Concord

Definitely hit me up if you get around this way Kyle!

Hope it was a good scoop and you are happy with the 63
