    01 modded gtp

    2003 Mercedes s 55 amg

    There is one in my area for $15,000 with 87k miles should I trade in my gtp and buy it or keep the gtp? My mom said she would give me 7k to put towards it.

    90 Mustang 5.0

    even with that much mileage theres gotta be something very wrong with that car for it to be that cheap. it was over 100k new and have a supercharged 5.4 with almost 500 horses. is that price just for the engine? lol

    Sadly now demodded :(

    If it's a real AMG then it's probably been whored out (run hard and put away wet) to the max and that's why it's so cheap.

    01 modded gtp

    I think I am going to ask my mom for like 2 grand and get my gtp some nice headers an I/C and a cam. I already have a 3.4 pulley, 3"dp, Tuned PCM, cai and a 180t-stat. I am thinking I am gonna drop to a 3.0 pulley when I do those mods

    those AMGs depreciate value ridiculously quick, plus like mentioned already, MB costs a ton of money in maintenance.

    I hope you have a big wing, with a wicked body kit. Along with some sort of neon color for it. Can't forget the stickers.

    Yeah I always considered getting an MB myself but my uncle has TWO of them a 2000 supercharged C class and a 2004 E class. The repair bills are NUTS. His windshield wiper stopped working and MB said he needed a new wiper transmission... for 1800 dollars. We took it to a guy we know and all it needed was a nut tightened.... thanks stealership.... When parts DO actually need replacing they tend to be expensive if they are MB only parts. Anything available aftermarket is actually pretty dang cheap. still... not worth it to me. I'd rather mod my Firehawk and watch the little punk in his AMG go from smug to shock when he loses to an american car.

    The key with German cars. Once the warranty is out, you find a reliable German independent Mechanic.
