AMG or Not?

gknight8 · 06-29-2008

I bought a new C280 from a dealer for my wife, and it had a AMG badge on it, it does have AMG stamped on the exhaust, wheels, and brake they told me that the sport version had the AMG ground effects, etc. So from what I'm reading here did I get a car that wasn't supposed to come with these AMG parts and was put on by the dealer?

They where put on by somebody yes.

Yeah, a lot of unscrupulous dealers have been adding fake AMG badges to basic and sport package MBs to try to sell more cars.

A lot of people get AMG packages or put fake stickers on the back. The best way to tell if it's real is to look under the hood.

Ive seen a few running around SoCal without plates (new). Not good.

Time to ask pointed questions at the next AMGPL chat...
