While I love AMGs...a miled out, 12 year old AMG, yeah, I think a better way to spend $20k is to toss it into your fire pit. That way you will only spend the $20k once, not double your initial cost when the engine goes boom.
Lighten up Francis.....

How are you suppose to buy a used car without driving it? 

How much to fix the broken suspension?

Want!  :o

BTW, no mention of broken suspension  ???   It has adjustable suspension so it may have been at the lowest level in those pics.

Broken suspension?  Try the Headbolts.

The fun starts on page 7

I was trying to remember where I read that debacle, thank you.

Yes I know.  I was being sarcastic.

I'm sure whatever was done to slam it so hard has improved upon whatever AMG engineers came up with originally. :)

Maybe this article should re-titled "BAD" find of the week. Can't think of too many people that would jump at that car.

I could see some poor sap, that doesn't know cars well, thats being forced into a minivan look at this thing and see it as a salvation....and promptly begin his Dante-esque journey.
