I have the same car, granted with about 75k more miles but, I would take half of his asking price for it.

I agree and would buy a C63 first with that kind of money.

I live here in Dallas and went to go check the car out. Although I already own a c55 with 75k miles this one felt a lot diffrent belive it or not, but I agree for that price I would rather get me a c63!

I bought mine for 13k(probably too much but i was in a pinch) That means I would have just over the same amount to fix/upgrade my car. I guarantee that my car with 13k dropped on it would make it better by far in every way than the car for sale above. 26k for an 06

She's a beauty, no doubt, but $19.5, tops. There's just too much competition today.

I bought mines for a great deal,8k. And the upgrades would just make your car faster, I guarantee you if you drive that car you would be shocked

Maybe but I wasn't taking about faster. I'd you refreshed the motor trans and suspension.

Make a bit more sense when typing, I can't understand what your trying to say.

I am saying that if you put 13k into refreshing your car not mods it would be the nicest one one the road.

I've got my Mars Red 2006 C55 up for sale on here for less $$ than that and mine has 5 K less mileage and the Kleemann SC (Autorotor) and headers too which were factory installed at Kleemann in CO. I agree that the one in TX is out of the ballpark, BUT he can always ask.

You can't "refresh" your car.

$13k buys a lot of new bushings, bearings, shocks, pads and rotors, fluid flushes and the trans. plate that should be swapped out at 100k as well. Sounds freshened to me and would still have thousands left over for a real stereo system swap w/ BT and maybe a true dual exhaust and headers. Sign me up for that extra $13k, please.

This guy gets it.

Cant refresh your car lol. I guess all the restorations that are out there were a waste of time then?
