RIP E55 AMG

Sold my E55 a couple months ago to someone in NY, got a message the other day from a friend with a few pictures
guess some guy decided he was going to drive his uninsured a** home; hammered. One thing led to another and he ended up smashing into my beloved car. Very sad to see, sellers remorse i guess
guy who I sold it to walked away pissed off but safe. This is why we spend the money on German cars; built like tanks
side note: still runs 😂
mid anyone is interested he’s selling as a whole for 4K
It’s got a lot of goodies on there off the top of my head
Carbon: diffuser, spoiler, forged carbon
steering wheel ($1000 wheel on its own)
Laser jammers front and back (fronts are probably smoked too)
168mm crank
E63 muffler
Shorty headers
Eurocharged tune
Dtk tcu tune
Don’t know condition of wheels (c63 rep 19s)
Recently serviced trans and SC
Interior 2tone seats red and black(merlot)
black trim
Pano roof

Recently replaced parts by me:
Radio, amp, all SAM modules, airmatic struts front and back
insurance isn’t paying him a dime
if anyone is interested

This is the second story I've heard about this today. I think something different is going on. Rising used car values means insurance companies are getting more shady than usual. It's probably time to consider stated value policies for special cars. I think I'll be making some calls this week. Because like you say, there aren't and won't be any of these around anymore. I don't want a turbo charged, 21 speed car with a bunch of digital screens everywhere.

this actually happened to me years ago on my SS. I feel they were in the wrong but there isn't much you can do unless it's been long enough to get a bill of coverage or you record every phone call when you change coverage. I sat on the car for 3 years and it was sold and the new owner saved it. Sad part is the car was technically totaled because the rocker panel was dented. You can total an f body with one swing of a sledge hammer. Car has no frame

Glad that no one was hurt.

If you can meet the criteria, agreed value insurance is the way to go when it comes to these cars.

Hagerty's pricing was actually very competitive for the SL vs. my primary auto insurer.

Nah YouTuber saying they bought “the cheapest e55 ever”. Hahahaha. Probably someone that has no clue what they’re doing and trying to show others how to do it.
