While the average American consumer has long closed the door and thrown away the key on station wagons, station wagons enthusiasts continue to appreciate speedy station wagons for the practical top performers they are, and one that helped start the madness was the Mercedes AMG E. -Class station wagon from the 211 generation. And now one of those rare cars could be yours.
The 2007 Mercedes E63 AMG station wagon is listed on Cars & Bids and only has 63,200 miles on it, which is pretty low for a car of this age. This car is actually rarer than most people think, as only 153 examples of the S211 were specifically ordered and delivered in the US market. And on top of that, according to the seller, the car was not even listed in the Mercedes works literature or on their website.

Optical modifications are limited to new 19-inch wheels, green brake calipers and a Thule roof rack. And that’s really the best. As for these cars, this one is actually on the flashier side, meaning that part of the beauty of an AMG car is how under the radar they are, the fact that only one set of wheels and one brake calipers can get you make more conspicuous really says something.
