One of the best parts of it is the proper amount of cargo space behind the rear seats and not these wagons of today some companies are producing that are not much more space than an older hatchback had. I would drive that thing all day long.

I have seen several cars in the last few days with red wheels on black cars and it has made me realize I hate almost everyone of them. Just looks cheap to me. Most were some sort of candy or pearl red though. Still like the red that volk uses on their TE/CE wheels.

The biturbo 5.5-liter V8 was factory-rated at 550 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, enough to propel the 4,300-pound wagon from zero to 60 mph in under four seconds. Recent work under the seller’s ownership has included an intake valve carbon cleaning, upgrading five coolant fittings to brass connectors, new plastic intake pipes, an oil change, as well as replacing the thermostat, coolant, shut-off valve, air filters, serpentine belts, and spark plugs. Past service intervals include the following:
...
- 50k miles, O2 sensors replaced
- 71k miles, spark plugs and coil
- 76k miles, camshaft sensors
- 83k miles, engine and transmission mounts
- 111k miles, oil and coolant leaks repaired
- 117k miles, motor mounts
- 118k miles, O2 and catalytic converter replaced
- 120k miles, new battery
- 127k miles, A/C service
- 129k miles, auxiliary battery replaced
Dirt cheap for an AMG.
Sold for less than $30k.

I don’t doubt the mileage was a factor. Not seeing the records but from the description I would think there’s a lot of work in suspension parts waiting.

My new ride. Sold the '07 RDX, kept the wife's '11 RDX and my '03 S2K. Red one is the Euro version - Opel Insignia (this one's a Holden actually, same thing). Gray one is my '18 TourX. Had it since Feb 1 and loving it. All are made in 'Schland. Get yours before they kill it off!
