So this 2007 one could turn out to be a NIGHTMARE in problems and running costs.
The ad makes it sound like the seller got it at an auction really cheap and is trying to flip it.
Why do you think a $144,000 car like this winds up at some auction with just 32k on the clock?
Usually a good reason for that. Run away.
No doubt.
In THIS case AMG means> All Money Gone !!!!

Quality with MB has become much better in around 08 and even in 07. JD Power ranked MB rised from 21rst out of 32 to 15 in one year and it only became better because only a couple months ago on CNBC I saw a rating of the top 10 car companies for consumer quality and satisfaction. Cars like MB, Ford, Porsche, Hyundai, Lincoln were the only cars I recall. Not to mention everyone I know with the newer generation Mercedes meaning 07-08 or up says the same thing. Quality has improved by a ton. The reason why a car such as a AMG or a 600 series Mercedes comes down in price so much is because there is not much demand for them. Also there are tons of other cars at a aution with just 32k on them as well and do have v12's in them... My girfriends 06 CL600 has been perfect and I use to have a 96 SL600 that was fine as well. It comes down to if you can afford it or not but I will agree on the 07 since its first year of the 221 body.
