W211 E55 AMG or W203 C55 AMG Wanted

[John]

I'm not, the biggest bugbear is the steering wheel and that's something I could always change I suppose.

What don't you like about it?

The steering wheel is one of the worst features of the pre-facelift W211 interior.

If you fancy changing the steering wheel to a facelift one, get a 2005 build one, should have 805 on the data card and the later facelift steering wheels are a straight swap

Hmm, it's never stood out to me.

Each to their own I guess...

Who said the camera doesn't lie?

Who said the camera doesn't lie?

The exterior shots are new (notice how there are none of the driver's side of the car or of the rear) but those interior pictures are from the old advert which were almost certainly from long before he put the car up for sale.

Dodgy, dodgy, dodgy.

 

[John]

It really is caveat emptor isn't it.

You just know some poor unfortunate will buy it.

how long it stay standard thats the Q

When looking for a car, people put a lot of emphasis on the service history.

I put more emphasis on other things and, in no particular order; the person selling the car is a big factor and I generally get a 'feeling' for a car, which is hard to put into words.

In my experience, it's been those with loads of history that have turned out to be lemons. This may sound very strange but it is the honest truth that those with hardly any paperwork were faultless...

You've got me there!

I'd prefer to do my own mods, that's half of the fun.

Don't say that! The two I'm looking at tomorrow have both got FMBSH!

I think I'd like to give it a bit more of a voice but I'll wait until I've had it for a while before deciding whether to do it.

I knew I wouldn't be able to get my point across succinctly enough

You know that feeling that you got when you went to look at that car with John? That's the feeling I'm talking about.
