Another AMG

[Ant1]

Well looks like I will returning back to a AMG for the time being as there are zero M5 tourers for sale with under 60k on the clock, looking at this tomorrow with the view to drive away.

Shade over 70k which is now average, certainly not paying 28k for one with under 40k on the clock, no point now as the warranty prices have gone through the roof.

s**t pictures but you get the point.

Utterly heroic. AMG > M5 every time.

 

[Craig]

Awesome mate love fast estates. Though I couldnt live with a black car again lol. You still planning on getting an rs6 in the near future?

 

[JB21]

AMG hurst

 

[Marc.]

That dealership has some lovely cars, it's round the corner from my Mother in Laws house. Nice purchase!

 

[Ant1]

They detail all their cars as part of prep before sale so I'm hoping it might be swirl free :innocent:

It's not the cheapest but hopefully it's going to be good as they have cars from 15-600k range.

AMG hurst

AMG hearse?

AMG hurst

Do you mean Geoff Hurst? Or AMG Hearse?

 

[Crybert]

I thought you had a BMW M5 tourer ant or am I missing something?

That is lovely

 

[McGherkin]

The CS AMG club receives another excellent addition.

Love 'em!

 

[Marc.]

The dealership in question is near Hurst. About 5 miles away, it's neither a Mercedes dealer, or actually in Hurst, so it's probably not what he was getting at!

 

[Ant1]

Sold the M5 a few months ago which I regret massively.

Yes will be aiming for a RS6 oct time.

 

[leeds_182]

Sick ride.

 

[Scrooge]

Most excellent, Ant!

 

[General Dave]

The correct engine for the 211 AMG!! looks awesome in black as well. We look after a designo mystic blue S211 at work.. it's booooooooootiful.

 

[Matt W]

So nice!

 

[fez]

awesome choice

 

[Ant1]

Just got back from viewing the car.

Needs some work, requires front and rear discs + pads, rear tyres, and is now due a service.

If I was to do all of that it would cost £2500.

So I offered to pay the screen price and they sort it, or they take £2500 off and I sort it.

Will know by the end of the day.

No where near as nimble as M5 but still fun. Exhaust has been tweaked also so pops and farts nicely.

Looks lovely mate. Is this the same model E class AMG that clarkson was thrashing around manchester airport along side the M5 tourer?

Aye

 

[Christopher]

Amazing!

 

[182_steve]

That looks stunning! Fingers crossed they budge on the price for you, think i'd rather have it with £2500 off and have the work done myself, knowing it's done right. But if they are a decent garage/dealer, shouldn't be an issue

This.

At least you know what quality of parts are being fitted mate.

Not some old cheap and nasty disc's and tescos engine oil.

 

[Gally]

Some bus mate!

 

[Chris V6 255]

Very smart mate! Love the fact they offered these as 7 seater!

I think it's pretty much the end of the day....
Unless they have over £5k in that car, i'd be shocked if they agree.

 

[Ian_182]

Lovely big bus again ant, shame you need such a huge car for 3 of you(I think)
The Blue M5 at that dealership has good miles and the largest service history they've ever seen and the paid up BMW warranty.
Is the estate a must.?

How on earth is it a 'shame' that he chooses an E55 estate for his family car???

It's f**king heroic! The man deserves masses of chest hair and a pat on the back.

The engine and car are pretty heroic ill agree, just questioning the reason for 7 seats that was all.

 

[Ant1]

Well they won't budge on price and will only include a service, the Mercedes warranty it was advertised with has also expired.

Anyone who knows to check the basics won't touch that now.

Fyi this amg doesn't have 7 seats.

I'm not paying 2k for maintenance a few weeks after owning.

The M5 they have is pre lci, nothing special, there are better specced LCI models with lower miles and warranty currently for sale.

Might look at C63 AMG estates next with PP pack.

How many mm are left on the tyres/brakes?

 

[Ant1]

How many mm are left on the tyres/brakes?

1mm before hitting rear markers.

Front and rear pads maybe a few k. Discs are past min thickness and feel warped through pedal.

So regardless of who he sells it to.. he'll probably need to change that all anyway

Unless you buy it, of course.

True, but I don't have any money after fixing the Golf for a year, and I'm unique

 

[Poopensharten]

I love you saying 'fixing' but actually mean 'running it' lol.

 

[Ant1]

It's one of those situations were it's been really looked after and the previous owner wanted something else. So got shot just before it needed the work, exactly what In would do. I don't believe for one minute the margins not there, they just don't want to sort it. Lets be fare, its pocket change to the rest of the cars they have so I guess they will just sit on it.

 

[Ian_182]

Shame, it looked quite tidy.
