Hey guys,

(Sorry, I accidentally posted this in the for sale section too. Didn't mean to.)

I have decided to make the change over from a C32 to a C55. Here is the info on my C55. I found a 2006 with less than 9k miles on it. The dang shipper is going to take 10 days to deliver it though. Arrrgggg!!

I am also now selling my 2004 C32. It has a lot of options including Nav, bluetooth phone (aftermarket), parktronic (aftermarket), voice komand, 6-disk cd changer. If anyone is interested here is a link to the FS post.

congrats man! how much did you swing the 06 for?

jmorris644

43K. Probably a little high but it had every option I was looking for and less than 9k miles on it.

What do you think?

slowrey

I bought my 2006 C55 with every option except bluetooth with 15K for $39,995 in May.

rory breaker

Just a bit high but dont feel bad man its worth every penny. You scored a nearly brand new 60k car for $17k below list...just a year late

Enjoy man!

Your links are broken... Just a heads up.

Let us know what you think of the switch... do a write up after a week or so with the new C... I know a few people would love to hear what you have to say.

jmorris644

Thanks. I don't know why the site did that to the links. It put the "..." in the links and use that as the URL.

I also was not able to edit that post. Anyone know why?

Here is a repost with the links corrected. Hopefully it works this time.

Also, I will definately post my impressions between the two. I can't wait to get the C55.

Your sig says bluetooth. Did you add it later?

Joe

I also got it from a dealer so it has the 100,000 mile warrenty and the extra year. I could have gotten it for about a grand less if I had chosen not to have the extra warrenty. I put 40 miles per day on the car just going back and forth to work. I figured the extra miles was worth it.

Joe

slowrey

Yup I added the phone and bluetooth later.

rory breaker

what did that consist of? product and $ wise...

slowrey

Lots of parts + cash Around $1600. Ouch.

Slowrey where did you buy your car in May? I bought mine from Georgetown MB in late March. There weren't many left in the state then. You may have seen my car if you were looking back then.

slowrey

I bought mine from a dealer in Minnesota. I didn't see any C55's in Austin except a 2005 C55 with 25-29K for 44K at MB of Austin. Tell me about yours tech frog

Man... I miss my C55

TopGun32

its a good move..

the C55 seems more trouble free than the bug infested C32..

but something about the boosted engine that is very unique.. specially with a Pulley kit.

I miss having the extra boost on my C32...

jmorris644

Hey Slowrey,

Which Dealer in MN? That is where I am from. I got mine from Bethesda, MD.

Joe

I must have gotten lucky. The only issue that I ever had with my C32 was an appearance of a power drain. They replaced the Catalytic converters and all was well. I have had no other issues of any type.

I was looking around the state, Jan - March and there were two white cars sitting in inventory of all the dealers I could find. Made an offer up here (Fort Worth) - they passed. 3 weeks later the one in Georgetown was still sittting there and I offered $45K - thinking, naaa they won't take it. MSRP was $60 + change. It has everything except Satellite. About 5 days went by and they called and said come get it.

I've been in love ever since. She sits in the garage about 4 days a week. 3300 miles so far. I am going to keep the milage low for the first 2 years.

Tires....are going to be a problem...

jmorris644

Man, That's a better deal than the one I got. How many miles did it have on it to begin with?

Mine has 8700 miles on it. But it does have the Nav. I paid $43K. Hmmm.....

Joe

^Thats crazy, I would have just kept my c32 then to upgrade to c55 why not e55, s55 or something else of a different body type then w203 ? I paid 25.5K for my 04 C32 CPOed with 22K miles all options no NAV ,which in my is a good deal. The car been sitting on the MB lot for 4 months lol. I plan on switchin to Jaguar S-Type R in 2 weeks once I sell my c32. Long as your happy paying 43K for the same body w203 but its a c55 then Im happy for you. But me I dont get the same body styles when I sell my car, I like something different from what I had. Thats just food for thought.

tech_frog

bout 140 miles.

slowrey

Damn Tech Frog drive the car and enjoy it

jmorris644

I just got a call. The car will arrive in about 3 hours. I will drive it first, then take some pics, then do a posting
