Hello community!

I decided to change my 2005 c230. C55 seems to be a good choice So I am looking for a C55 (Ideally west coast, ideally wa )

Just took a look at this one http://www.infinitiofbellevue.com/au...05-wa/9167921/. But it turned up as real piece of sh#t. Really dirty, windshield is broken. Roof is damaged, looks like car was involved in some accident (big road tank?) and as the result roof was deformed and windshield is broken. That is really sad, because car only had 2 owners (1st only owned it for 10 months).

Will be appreciated for any help in my searches!

P.S. maybe someone from this forum wants to sell their cool well maintained c55

Thanks! Actually I am also viewing Vancouver area deals, but it probably may be not so easy to export a car from Canada to USA.

I'm in Seattle and I'm considering selling my '05 C55 in a month or so. 88k miles with kleemann headers and tune. I ran a 13.1 stock on 19" but have not taken it to the track after my kleemann parts were installed. Full disclosure I was involved in a very minor accident where someone pulled out in front of me at the last second (his fault) and it nicked my right fender, bumper and headlight which is why it's in the shop right now. I'm the 4th owner but have owned it since 2009 and bought it with 26k on the clock.

Interior is 9/10
Exterior 8/10 as there are 2 door dings and the wheels (monoblock replicas) have curb rash on them. I can send you more pics plus I have my dyno video in my sig.

Thanks.

@Newzchspy, thanks! I would prefer black on black or at least black interior.

Hi folks! I am back There is one early 05' C55 in my area.
Dealer asks 11.6k for it. It has 78k miles only. And mostly one owner.

There are couple of concerns I have:
* Clicking noise when the engine is cold
* Oil leaks from valve cover gaskets
* Driver's seat heater doesn't work

What do you think? Isn't 11600$ too much for it?
Does it make sense to send to PPI at Mercedes Benz stealership?

I just got my 05 C55 black/black interior with 87,000 miles for a bit less than that.

ODB

Have you done any specific inspection before you bought it?

gofisch

No, but the only significant thing so far has been the rear diff seal needed to be replaced. I believe I am the 5th owner also. A couple of them didn't have it very long.

So its like every other w203.

One more thing I have noticed, that engine was shutting of during idle. No CEL, just shutting of, was fine after restart. Maybe it is related to the amount of fuel. But there was no "fuel reserve" message on the dashboard. And this is also strange to me, because small orange lamp on fuel gauge was on.

Most likely I will let this one go C55 of my dream is black with xenon headlights, this one is silver and w/o

You might be in luck. This one popped up for sale on eBay in Southern California...

Looks just like mine, except a year newer and 40,000 more miles. Plus it looks like he took good care of it. If the price doesn't go to high might be a pretty good deal.

Bumping up the thread Still in the market. Haven't found anything good yet. If you are selling or know anyone who sells c55 in Seattle area - just let me know
