This car has mostly been garaged and the seller says it has been well maintained with very few problems. He or she has all the records.

With the aftermarket Lorinser upgrades, which include a bodykit, exhaust, and engine upgrades, the car makes 605 horsepower. There's also custom audio, Zenetti wheels, and a carbon-fiber silver wood kit.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Beautiful car and from what I know the NA AMG V8 is extremely solid as is the 5-speed automatic. If you've got the stomach for expensive maintenance and probably some electrical and suspension glitches, it's a awesome car for Corolla money.

    I dipped my toe into German engineering with a 07 E550 in 2011 when it had 60k on the clock. It was a great car until it wasn't. I cut my losses when I traded it for a new Ram pickup truck. I don't regret the experience, but I won't buy another German car.

  • Dale I'd consider the RAV4 if the Prime were on the table as paying for gas is for suckers. Otherwise, we have a couple of Mazdas and they are swell. I've driven older versions of both and the CX-5 is a nicer place to live.

  • Flashindapan Beautiful color combinations. I assumed they stop selling the TT here at least five or six years ago.
  • Carson D Just don't be the whistleblower who reports on the falsification of safety data. That's a deadly profession.
