Default I THOUGHT i saw a nice S5, until i walked over to it

I thought I saw a nice S5 in the parking lot, so i walk over and find it is missing 4 cylinders...it has every single oem S5 part on it, and I am trying to figure out why anyone would spend that money when they could have got a real S5 for the same cost.

The hood was open, which implies the owner was there.
Did you discuss it with them if they were in fact present?

rims and styling parts aren't that bad but EMBLEMS?? he killed the resale value too. The most I did was switch to the metallic mirror housings. They match the windshield frame so nicely. I'd love some S5 rims too but that's big money that I wouldn't get back for a ride that would suck in my city where the roads are tore up so badly.
