How to ruin an E55.....

[andy27168]

Hi,
Have to agree with Nic, I quite like it, and has parktronic and folding mirrors too, remove the boot spoiler and those hideous window tints and replace grill. Not worth 8k though.

Trouble is though it looks like a drug dealers car. I wonder why he's selling it so soon, he bought it in February 09!

I don't know, let's all jump to some conclusions shall we?

1, He's lost his licence for speeding

2, He's going to jail for selling drugs

3, He's found something major wrong with it so he's trying to shift it before it falls to pieces

Please feel free to make up your own reason why somebody you don't know is selling a car on eBay Motors

I've looked at 3 e55's this year where the owners were selling them after less than 6 months. One car had 9 owners in ten years. Thats a lot of people in bellmarsh

Do you think perhaps the ownership / running costs caught them out ?

I thought drug dealers / crime lords were all minted ?

 

[buccal]

Times are tough howard, in all seriousness the london based cars seem to have been owned by young ish guys who simply underestimated the reality of sub 15 mpg on a dialy basis.

 

[buccal]

And all were rusty. Now thats criminal.

I thought it would lookreally hideous but in reality it is not that bad. Painting a roof black is weird, and I mean weird. Do they have sunshine in that part of the world? That colour will certainly help keep the occupants warm, especially on a hot, sunny day

I am mnot going to get into a scientific discussion about heat absorbion, I will simply suggest that on a really hot, sunny day. Find a black coloured car that is out in the hot sun.... Drop your pants and trousers, then attampt to sit on the front wing..

To cool your deri aire down... Find a white car and sit on that

Emm, yep...

They are aiming for the 'panoramic roof look' but unfortunately achieve the 'boiling hot box' look ...

 

[renault12ts]

Actually I like it. It matches the roof. The car has air con so it probably doesn't matter too much about the rare days of sun.

Actually Andy, I wasn't jumping to conclusions, I merely said it looked like a drug dealers car because of all the tacky add-ons, I didn't say he was one. Lets face it, it is a little unusual to get rid of a car so soon, especially after all that so called work and money he has spent on it. I'm guessing No.3 is most likely.........

my guess is that they bought it cheap because the brakes needed doing. Put some aftermarket disks and pads on, run it around for a few months to enjoy it and now they've decided to sell it on and buy something else to enjoy.

I used to change my cars on a whim, keeping some as little as a few weeks. I don't find the seller's behaviour that odd really

The car looks ok apart from the wheels they don't do anything for me I preffer the standard AMG wheels. but I like the black roof looks cool.

As for the interior it's not my kind of thing, I preffer the grey and white interior!
