Example there are 56 Crossfire's going up on insurance auction in next couple weeks. I have seen them go between $300-$2200 depending on DMG. There is a blue srt6 coming up that I might drive to Indy for it has drivers sided fender and door DMG. Just hope someone buys it to resurrect it. DMG looks cosmetic only. Frame is still good.

Nope, negotiations haven't gone well, so I've resorted to looking elsewhere for one.

Gotta love MB depreciation I've been watching the '12 and up E550 Coupes. Twin turbo M278 V8 and while not an AMG it is still a stout bullet. Add a tune and you're stoked.

Looks like my OCD and ADHD have both combined to form a new obsession with the CL65, 603HP and 738TQ stock. I'll be placing a deposit tomorrow if things go as planned.

'05 CL65 in Pewter Metallic with Charcoal interior.

awsome ride right there. I can't believe these cars new 180,000 but used you can grab one for 30-40k. If i could afford the gas i would burn I would find me one also. GL Antman

Anthony...... DUDE! Not only is that bad to the bone, but there's room for the family! Now you got me thinking about stripping and selling my mods like you just did. Good luck w/ your offer.

If you intend to cover the wood (not saying you have to) I highly recommend you check this out:

Black Metro 4D HD Carbon Fiber Wrap Series Vinyl

Getting some good buzz on the interwebs

I'm thinking Grip will be paying well south of those numbers......especially if he finds a seller that needs to let one go quickly.

The salesman is flaking out on me, so this one may be a no-go also. I asked him to provide both fobs, owner's manual, and confirm the brakes weren't worn-out, and I get the feeling he thinks I just slapped his wife. Damn, everytime I'm ready to pull the trigger the target disappears.

Just a heads up (and you're probably already on top of this) but I'd also ask when the coil packs were last replaced. This is another high dollar, common failure item on the AMG.

Anthony...get use to it. I tried for 6 months to buy an AMG and even looked at a black.... I passed on all of them because of the reluctance to come up with the records for the cars...or where they came from. I was dealing in Chicago, where a lot of cars are exported and imported. I had a bi-turbo bought, and they wouldn't produce the proof of where the car came from. It was a limited addition 180K car, and I had it bought for 50K... I even asked Rudy a few questions about maintenance on it since it was in Chicago. The dealers just seem to think you should pay them and not ask questions since it is a Mercedes. I bought my E Class from a mom and pop corner lot in a small city in Northern IN where my youngest son is living. Pure luck....as I had all but given up trying to buy one. It wasn't the AMG I wanted, but it was a clean low mileage car...

More drama. Looks like the car I was ready to buy (this time) has title discrepencies. The Carfax is perfect and the AutoCheck says:
