went last night and picked her up. Damn clean car. Very happy with it so far. Sorry for the dark pics, but by the time I got it home from cruising a little bit, it was getting dark. Dont mind the dirt. She’s getting a good detail tonight, and hopefully I can slap my rims on there also. Details: 2000 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG (E430 4Matic), 8 cyl, every possible option, etc etc. well, heres some pics. ![http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0800.jpg](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0800.jpg) ![http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0801.jpg](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0801.jpg) ![http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0805.jpg](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0805.jpg) ![http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0806.jpg](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0806.jpg) ![http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0807.jpg](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0807.jpg) ![http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0808.jpg](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0808.jpg) ![http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0809.jpg](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0809.jpg) ![http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0810.jpg](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0810.jpg) ![http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0811.jpg](http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj226/JoeyBaggs/Benz/100_0811.jpg) ---

so is it a 430 4matic or a 55? One has a 5.5 liter engine the other has a 4.3 liter My guess since they didn’t make a E55 AMG 4matic, it is a 4.3 liter ---

thanks guys! After looking around, and reading a bit I realise its not an AMG. Previous owner mentioned AMG so I just took his word for it. :stupidme: Think he just meant the rims. oh well, that wouldnt have changed my mind on the purchase regardless. On the positive side, I was told by some MB owners that the E430 with all the option this one has is quite a rare find. 🙂 Thansk again guys. Hopefully I’ll have some pics later with the rims and a detail. ---
