Thanks guys for all the great comments! Much appreciated.
The two options I forgot to mention are Handsfree Phone and Active Ventilated seats.
Actually we didn't buy it to make it a daily driver. There are a couple others for that duty. If we're buying a used car I always try to find the best example possible and usually one of the criteria is low mileage. I was stoked to find one with as few miles as this one. So I guess to answer your question; it was both the condition and the mileage. I hate that AMGs depreciate like they do but as a buyer when you can get basically a brand new car for MUCH less than half it's new MSRP it's hard to pass it up.
Probably not. Maybe do the exhaust b/c I do like to hear them..... This car has ~500 bhp stock and for the purposes of this car (a fun vert) I'm not really interested in any more power.

I didn't mean my comment to mean I'm happy about the steep depreciation curve on the AMG cars, fact is I wish they held their value better then they have........
Put the front spacers on tonight thanks to the guys at Evosport, when I called with my issue they jumped right on it and I had the right spacers at 8:30am this morning. While the difference is subtle with the 10mm spacer on each side I think it made a significant difference in the stance.
