THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL 2003 MERCEDES E55 AMG SEDAN. ONLY 89K ORIGINAL MILES AND IN SPECTACULAR CONDITION!!! UNDER MERCEDES-BENZ CPO COVERAGE UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO, THIS CAR WAS BABIED WITH MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE, SO EVERYTHING WAS DONE AT THE BENZ DEALER. NOTHING NEEDED EXCEPT A NEW OWNER, IT’S PRICED RIGHT AND IS READY TO GO. Please read on to find out more. -- Here she is in all her glory -- Please let me stop you now if you are looking for an inexpensive, needy, or average E55 like most of them for sale. This is not that car. I am hired by clients to buy over forty AMG and 600-series Mercedes each year, and I can tell you there is ONE thing I look for: a car with an excellent documented service/maintenance history. This is that car. On top of that, this E55 has had only three owners since new, and has all original body panels with only the rear bumper and trunklid being professionally refinished (and verified) in its 13 years on the road. It looks GREAT inside and out. Please understand, with these cars, you get what you pay for. I paid top-dollar to get this car, because it was better than every other E55 I looked at for its combination of price, cosmetics, and mechanicals. Here's the deal: -- This is a 2003 E55 AMG sedan in 744 iridium silver metallic over charcoal/blue two-tone leather interior, with matching black carpets and dark grey alcantara headliner. It has root burlwood interior trim. It is a three owner car, dealer serviced, has only 89,xxx miles (less than 7K miles per year), and looks like a million bucks. This car was LOVED, and it shows. There is nary a ding, dent, scuff, or scratch anywhere…it’s unreal. -- -- Exterior 9.75 out of 10 - Fantastic overall condition paint, body, glass, and trim. No dings. No dents. No scuffs. No scratches. This E55 looks amazing, with a deep shine to the silver paint that's like looking into an endless mirror. This car has been paint metered and every body panel is original and wears its original paint except for the trunklid. This car looks great even under fluorescent light in a garage. Imagine getting a 13 year old car with no swirl marks or spiderwebs in the paint….amazing! -- -- The lower side-body moldings are in great shape. The chrome, rubber, glass, and trim is all excellent and original. No oxidation, fade, wear, rust, etc. as you’d expect on a thirteen year old 89K mile car. Look at the body panels.....they are laser straight. -- -- This E55 is nicely optioned, with an original MSRP of more than $80K! Options include multi-contour heated front seats, four-place HVAC controls, parktronic, moonroof, and more. Even a painted decklid spoiler. Wow! -- -- It currently wears its OEM 18” alloy wheels, all true and in excellent condition with some curb marks. The tires are about worn out, so at the BIN I will replace them with a staggered set of Nokian zLine tires, brand new with 100% tread remaining. It goes arrow-straight down the road at high speed with no shimmy, pull, or anything else. -- -- Interior 9.5 out of 10 - The interior overall including all seating and door leather, seat padding, dash, console, wood, and carpets are in great original condition. No dash cracks, carpet rips, etc. Everything looks and feels great. This is not the typical worn E55 - this car was garaged every day of its life and it shows. No refinishing either, this is the ORIGINAL UNTOUCHED interior, without even any type of detailing, just a wash and a vacuum off the truck from PA. -- -- The door panels and wood trim are also in great shape, like the rest of the car. -- -- Even the trunk is mint. -- -- Now to the recent inspection results and service. This E55 had some seepage from the rear main seal, sway bar links were worn, and the front stabilizer bar and mounts were worn, and it needed tie-rod ends. Everything was done, and done within the last week and 20 miles. Awesome! – -- Electrical 10 out of 10 - All lights, switches, radio, windows, wipers, seat motors/memory/pulse, and power mirrors work perfectly. Vacuum lock system, nav, remote key, interior lights all operating as they should. -- -- The service history is great, extensive and documented all at the MB dealer. Airmatic struts, supercharger belt tensioner, TCU, parking sensors, pilot bushings, fuel pump, oil changes, A&B service, filters, and more were all done. That’s THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS of work at the MB dealer. This means there is nothing for the next owner to do, it’s all been done already. HVAC system is fast to respond, and operates perfectly. Seat heaters both working properly. -- -- Mechanical 10 out of 10 - Engine starts, idles, runs, and revs to redline in every gear smooth and strong. Transmission is smooth yet very aggressive, and downshifts eagerly to catapult you into the next county. No abrupt engagement, just silky smooth shifts. She runs at high speed with no vibrations or noises. There are no leaks....NONE. -- -- This E55 has passed two separate inspections with flying colors. A pre-purchase overall inspection with paint meter and test drive, and two full mechanical inspections by high-end shops. After his final and thorough inspection for any problems, after all the work listed above was done, she’s ready to roll. -- -- Engine is VERY VERY strong and VERY eager to run, transmission smooth and ready to drop down two gears at your command to rocket you past slower traffic. Brakes are solid and pedal feel is firm. Suspension is tight like new, no worn tie rod ends, ball joints, struts, or anything else. Steering nicely weighted with no play in the box. ZERO leaks or noises. This car drives and handles like new. Look at the condition of the engine bay! – -- This E55 comes with books, two remote keys, floor mats, carfax, and EVERY SINGLE MB service record since new, all the way back to day one! No expense spared maintenance and repairs. -- -- This E55 does not have any signs of wear, no rubber rot, no leaks, no airmatic problems, no lukewarm A/C....NOTHING. Everything is in fantastic shape, and at only 89K miles, it's not even close to broken in yet! With these cars, it’s always best to buy the nicest one you can afford, because in the long run a better condition higher maintained car will ALWAYS be less expensive to own. -- -- At asking price I will include the following: the new Nokian zLine tires mentioned above, alignment, floor mats, a full $200 detailing including engine bay, carpet shampoo, leather conditioning, orbital polishing, etc. I'll also supply Toughguard protectant for the paint, which you have to see to believe. It will bead water, seal, and UV protect the paint for FIVE YEARS, GUARANTEED....no future waxings necessary. I know it sounds like a B.S. late-night TV claim, but it's not; dealers charge $695 and up for this stuff, and it really works. I will also include touch-up paint. That’s close to $1500 in value! -- -- Nits: A few marks to the wheels, a small thin crack/scuff line to the rear plastic bumper cover, and a few tiny stone chips on the nose. THAT’S IT! I know it sounds ridiculous to have a mechanically and cosmetically near-flawless car with 89K miles on it, but there it is. The car is as perfect as you will ever see for a 2003 E55, and you’ll likely never see another one like it! -- -- I have great feedback, and have recently sold dozens of high-end cars that the new owners are thrilled with. They and others have offered to act as references to verify that I am honest in my descriptions of the cars I sell, and you are welcome to contact them. -- THIS IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME CAR, AND IT'S AN UNBELIEVABLE DEAL!!
