FS - 2006 C55 - Silv/Blk

Selling the C55 and moving to a 911...

Car is perfect - no wrecks, no paint work. Only blemish is a 3 inch scratch on the driver's rear door - could be touched up to substantially improve.

2006 C55
Silver / Blk
Navigation, Xenons, Premium, 06 CLK Grill, LED S Class Rear Lights, Green Filter
6K Miles

First $46K takes the car...located in Dallas.

ssbpreston@yahoo.com w/firm interest.

Probably will. The 55 for me is the daily driver and the 911 is the 3rd car (already have a TT cab and am trading for the 997tt coupe). Thought I'd trade the 55 for some type of convertible for nice days, and use the 997TT as the daily driver (as it would be a coupe)...

You really should keep it, unless you can't stand the car. The depreciation is the steepest within the 1st two to three years. After that, it should level off.

It's never a good idea to buy a car and sell within the 1st year or two.

You are correct. Also, I do still love the car...I thought if I was using the new TT as a daily driver, the 55 would serve less of a purpose.

We have a TT Roadster as a weekend car, and I periodically use it as a commuter. It's fun and fairly comfy, but it can be a little brutal for a daily commute.

Yeah, it's a horrible idea (financially) to sell so quickly -- however, if that's not a problem then sell.

Do you have any pics - I have no intention on buying it - but it helps to show what's actually for sale.
