I may go look at this car tomorrow. I did a drive by today (I didn't have time
to dawdle) and other than the exterior being dirty it looked OK.
It's a 2001 E55 AMG, it's got 143k on the clock, three owners with full dealer
records up until about a year ago. Florida car, delivered in Pompano
If the e55 is the supercharged one then you will like the drive around
town. What a motor.
