Ah the W211 E55 AMG. The benz for the middle aged guy that wants to outshine his neighbor with a base model Corvette in the driveway, but do it discretely.
The W211 E55 AMG was a surprise coming from Mercedes. It was a brutal machine, the E63 that followed it was known as a much softer, mature car. All 516 ft. Pounds of torque makes sure this car can impress your kids whenever you step on the throttle. The 469 horsepower is a ludicrous amount for a Benz sedan. Right?! Isn't it too crazy?! No, I can assure you it isn't. I have driven my uncles tuned E55 AMG, pushing over 600 HP and it was amazing. Until I got some unwanted sideways action on some suspect backroads. The E55 AMG is a monster, it goes against the stereotypical cushy mercedes ride. It pushes you to the back of your seat and then punches you in the gut, but you love every minute of it.
Does the $13,750 price tag justify risking it on a early 2000's Benz with 99k miles on it?

This is a tough one. I like the price but maintenance must be a nightmare. I assume if you got it inspected and everything checks out it's a NP.

Such a handsome car. One of my favorite designs, still looks relatively current.

Any Merc over 75k miles is a CP.

OHHHHHH uhhhh, damn this is a hard one. Maintaining that thing must be a nightmare. would say crack pipe. there's a reason why it's that cheap. But hell I would probably just "consider buying it" to take it on a "test drive". lol. Its a really nice looking car. sort of a classic yet modern design.
