Are the rear wheels too small, or is it sitting too high?

 

[Watchcame430]

Better buy than the chrome thing listed recently?

The gaps look a bit odd.

 

[mannikon]

They all have large gaps like that, normal.

 

[stwat]

Are uneven gaps from one side to the other normal?

Are uneven gaps from one side to the other normal?

Not that way round

 

[John]

Yup, the gap is uneven:

The wheels look right to me but it is sitting very high.

I guess they've 'raised car' but I'm not sure mine gets that high even then.

Not familiar with the mechanism on Es, but could just be its not properly 'clipped' in on one side?

The bonnet release is in the centre above the grill on W211's. Either the bonnet has been removed/replaced and not aligned correctly or possibly a new n/s front wing has been fitted.
Whatever, there is an unusually large gap above the n/s lights.

 

[John]

Yes, and even if the stopper was lowered that side, the bonnet wouldn't then line up with the NS wing.

Better than the other one we saw though.

 

[Major774]

Ooo... I see active cornering lights

The rear should sit lower than the front, even on the raised setting. Something fishy with the rear suspension.

 

[stwat]

Body shops must want to cry when these come in for front end repairs

There seems to have been a few posts about e55k's recently.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, I think I've seen it in a post somewhere on here

This seems ok except for the 6.3 badges. Remove these and It would be a nice looking motor.

Seems cheap at the current bid. Although I guess u would have to establish if it was a damaged repair, maybe kit was just added for visual reasons

He's advertised it for £1150 above Trade in value and £500 above private sale value.
It's £1800 below Forecourt value but that probably reflects the general lack of interest in 2nd hand 20mpg big engine cars.
Even nice ones at around £8-10'000 seem to sit on forecourts for months.
