C55 AMG 4dr Import from Japan

[350_Coupe]

on autotrader, not ebay but interesting none the less.

i think the original build date is around 2004-2006 looking at the trim and body styling

dunno if i'd have the guts to go for an import.

^ Could be difficult come insurance time. Imports used to have a much higher premium but that may have changed now.
That car would look so much nicer with silver wheels IMO of course

yeah, or my brabus monoblock VI's which are grey and silver.

Import not worth £11k

had i seen this one before it sold, i'd have likely been seriously tempted, even though it's about the same age as what i have now

Well I had a CLK270 Cdi import a few years ago and a lot of dealers didn't want it. Said they would value it similarly to a Cat D.

If I had the choice between import and non import at same price is buy the non import every time.

Subaru's imported from Japan were limited to 111mph. At least my mates WRX was. He was sick when I could cruise past him in 4th gear in my Cosworth
