2005 C55
New to the forum, in the market for a C55...
Hey guys, just wanted to say that I've enjoyed catching up on the forum for the past few days. I just sold my '02 M3 and am seriously looking for a clean pre-owned C55 (with navigation, ever since my M I can't live without it anymore!) I've checked the classifieds on this forum, as well as autotrader and cars.com - any other places you think I should look?
Thanks very much - and I look foward to sharing C55 stories with all of you.

Plus it depends on the options

new c55 would be 58-59 out the door. my guess is you can save after tax and everything around 5-6k with my car. 5k miles driven and you get 5k off. i think is the goin rate. maybe im wrong.
44 at car max and then they sell it for 50k and it was sold very quick.
maybe i will just keep it if the depreciation is that bad.
so if interested let me know
ps i saw one car in teh classified w 12+k miles offered at $49k. i would pay the extra 2k for 7k less miles but that is just me.

My car listed for $61,090 with the Autobahnd paint protection, added at time of purchase. The 5% MA sales tax was on top of that, of course. I had the Winter mats and cargo net thrown in gratis. As far as I can tell, that's about $4K above invoice. I got a discount that amounted to about $2500 off MSRP. I would consider low fifties for sale. I do not believe there is a better cared for car in such pristine always-garaged condition. I also have a set of 17" AMG Winter wheels and mounted tires, available separately. I only drove on the decent days in Winter but it was nice to know I could take it if I needed to.

Thanks guys for all the info. Right now I am looking seriousl at a white C55, and one that is Pewter colored (great price, just not sure about the color, I think I might swing by a Benz dealership on the way home to make sure I like it.) Silver and Black are very common, but I may end up with that color as well. When I purchased my M3, it took me 6 weeks or so to find the "perfect" one for me - so I'm prepared to wait that long for the right deal on a C55. It's an amazing automobile, plus it has 4 doors. I'll miss having a clutch, but the wife wasn't a fan of it 
so I guess I'll have to get over it. If any of you come up with any more leads, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.

My C32 is black and I get alot of compliments on it. Mi-Espousa has a silver car and I am not a fan of it. If I don't find a nice black one soon. I'll have to let my wife get the Lexus that she wants

I have both cars for right now (I had the benz in the pic with the S4). I'm ditching the C32 in the very near future.

I have a Silver/Black C55, fully loaded with less than 5k miles that I'm seriously considering to sell (want to trade up for a CLS). I will post in the classifieds in this forum and others, on cars.com, Autotrader, etc when I'm ready to sell- and I'll be sure to shoot you a PM if you're still looking.
