03 E55 AMG - you have got to be kidding

[03E500]

Check this one out guys & gals.

I can not believe how much the seller is asking for - seriously, would anyone be dumb enough to pay this much?

How much would it cost to replace half of this car, not to mention alignment problems ...etc

Probably better selling as spares - I wouldnt be happy driving that even if repaired by a dealer!

I went to SWS last weekend they also had a tuned E class estate not sure of the model.

They have lots of Mercedes and they all do seem quite well stuffed!

I went with a friend to look at a DB7 which was not too bad but they still wanted £22k and probably only worth £30k at best.

But they do sell them, we were told the DB7 had sold for £21k.

Thanks Hi-Lo, got to emotionally distressed when I saw the dealer on ebay selling a pile of junk for 18 G....

I'd say this represents reasonable value given that a straight one is 30-34K.

It really is pretty minor damage and I don't think the chassis leg will be bent given the crumple box is still intact and the shut lines look good and no airbag deployment. With new parts £5k to fix less if s/h parts used. If one can do their own labour then even less.

If it's unrecorded then there will be no complications when selling after the repair is complete.
