Few owners ...
2004 MERCEDES E55 AMG AUTO SILVER | eBay

1 a year.

I can't see a huge issue with that if the car is mechanically sound, running well with a complete history.

I imagine they are "scratch the itch" cars for a lot of people.

Better a change of owner than someone who can't afford to maintain it I suppose.

It does seem to have a reasonable specification, though definitely not "all the toys bells and whistles", but I'd be put off a bit by the number of owners; none of them liked it enough to want to hang on to it...

I'd want to check out the service history with the servicing garages if I were considering buying it.

Thats the point John, they never held onto it long enough to maintain it, wonder the how many poor sods got caught for others 'Fun Runs'...Not with a barge pole imo

Could be that - but then when I buy a car, I normally spend money on it to put it right so maybe each of the owners did that, novelty wore off and they moved it on.

Perhaps too idealistic but I am making the assumption that the people who buy these are enthusiasts and are more likely to be like that (thinking of the type of owners there are on here) than with your run-of-the-mill car...

The car looks alright although why the seller thought photos taken at dusk were worthwhile is a bit odd.



Caveat emptor I guess.
