Delima
I can get a 99 E55 AMG with 25k miles for about 25K!!! Should I buy it? Those of you who know me know the huge salary i make (
). But , i can't help thinking about it over and over and over and over..... you get the point? Somebody talk me out of it. I feel like an alcoholic right now...

No offense, but I find it funny when people ask if they should buy things like this...
if you wanted it, you'd already have bought it
if you needed it, you'd already have it
Now asking if it's of good quality would be another thing, but asking if you should buy in in general never made sense to me...
Sounds like you need justification... i'd pass...

Don't do it, Louie is having all kinds of problems with kids stealing his shit...
...poor dude... I feel for him...he will blow up soon
You need to crunch the numbers man.... if it pans out, grab it..
But like they say, Sounds too good to be true...
was the AMG wrecked?.. clean title?

SHIFT_over.so.I.can.see
I was trying to figure out what a Delima was... I was thinking it was a new car or something... haha...so about your DILEMMA...
if money's tight I wouldn't do it. the '99E55 is nice and all but it's not monster like the new one. it's not really worth diving headfirst into in my opinion. a really nice car however.

0-60 in 4.8 and 13.3 in the 1/4 sure sounds like a monster to me. If you got the dough go for it 25k is a steal.

Bagged hybrid
For 25K, I would go for it. Be sure to check the car VERY well.
Get the car, plus $4k in engine mods (renntech stage 2) and you can hit high 12s with some sticky tires.
