2005 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG Monster!
2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E55 Description
I am selling my babied 2005 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG with only 82k Miles. This vehicle is Black on Black Interior. Vehicle is fully loaded with options including, Heated Seats, Remote Truck, Sunroof, Keyless Go, adaptive headlights (they point where you turn the wheel) and much more. I did add an aftermarket radio that now allows Bluetooth hands free calling as well as music streaming (looks factory). It also now has a backup camera (not available from the factory at all, ever). I did keep the factory stereo head unit which I will gladly give to you if you want it. The new radio was all plug and play. I didn't have to cut any wires or make any modifications to the dash. The car would go right back to factory if you for whatever reason you didn't want the upgraded stereo options. Everything works on the car.
I am one of those OCD people that can't stand if something isn't working correctly. I recently had the rear sunshade and auto truck close module replaced. I also just did the oil/ filter change (always use mobile 1), along with the cabin filters and the front brakes(OEM Mercedes AMG discs and pads, none of that after market cheap junk) about 200 miles ago. This car is truly a blast to drive and the ultimate sleeper. Very few cars on the road will be able to keep up. I'd wager to say that there isn't a car under 50k that will keep up. It smokes Corvettes and Shelby GT500 Mustangs. I never raced it at a track or drag strip but I'd be lying if I said I haven't had some fun in it. With that said, it has been very well taken care of. It has always had the scheduled maintenance done without fail and the car has always been a 2nd or 3rd car for its owners (I think I'm the 3rd owner). It was never a primary everyday driver and it has also always been garaged. I am only selling it because it is a 4th car for me and I'm in the process of building a what will be a 5th car. So I don't really have the room and it really just sits because I don't have the time to drive it. She definitely deserves to stretch her legs more than I have time for. I tell you this because I don't need to sell it so please do not waste your time low balling me.
In doing my research, which I'm sure you're doing yourself. There are not a lot of these cars on the market and almost none with under 100k miles, the ones that are going for $22-$23K. People buy them and keep them. The ones that come on market typically are way north of 100k even 200k miles. Kelly Blue Book also states the trade in on the car is low 14k but I've had specialty car dealers offer me 14-15k on trade in because they also know these cars aren't readily available. The two dealers agreed Kelly Blue Book is not the industry standard, especially for specialty cars which if you know your AMGs then you know these are very special cars. Dealerships have these cars listed 20-25k. There is one on eBay that just sold for 20k with like mileage and less options.
Now for the not so perfect: The only thing I haven't fixed is: there is a crack in the top of the windshield on the right side of the rear view mirror, about 3 1/2 inches long. I truly haven't fixed this because I can't see it while driving and it's not a mechanical issue. Other than that the car is truly in beautiful mechanical and cosmetic condition. No engine noise and the transmission shifts super smooth. I welcome if you want to have your mechanic or knowledgeable friend look the car over. I have absolutely nothing to hide. I do ask that you don't waste either of our time. No tire kickers or joy riders please. If I don't see the green I will be very hesitant to let you drive this beast of a car.
I also just paid the 2017 California registration and the car passed smog without a problem. The car is ready to go! Oh and I actually have both keys! Not sure how people lose keys but it seems rare to buy a used car with two keys.
Thanks for looking!
