Thanks for your input here and your help via PM. Did you get what you wanted for your car. I for some reason cant sell my 32.

Good luck man my buddy has the 2500 and I pull my 4 place snowmobile trailer with four snowmobiles on it and all the gear and you could barly tell you were toying something with it.

We’ll miss you, c55asleep?. Appreciate your contributions.

Maybe I’ll see you on the GMC forums – where the workin’ men catch up. ;-)

Sorry to hear you sold your C55

I'm new here and shopping for a new/used car, with a 2005 C55 high on my list! Did you have the car since new and did it had any problems/repairs, or are these pretty reliable? Also, where do you live/what dealer did you sell it to? If it's around the Atlanta area, I'd like to check it out.

Why did you trade it in with the parts on it still? I/others would have tossed some dough at you...

Yes I know what you mean but I just ended up deciding at the last minute that I wanted to sell the car and the extra money I had I needed for down payment rather than for r&r the parts. Now I am kicking my butt!
Well rims are still avalible.

Rolly, so sad to see you go. You definately had one the very best C55's on the board. Good luck with your new ride!!! Can't wait to see you in another MB. Some lucky guy, however, is going to get one sick C55 way under price. Dealers were only offering me $22k on a trade in so I opted to keep mine for a couple more years.

Stay in touch.

Yes, at first they offered me the same but i beat them down to give me 25000 but i still lost but i guess that always happens when trading it in to a dealer. Btw i got the wheels and airbox sold, so thanks to everyone. I still have a set of rear tires 265 30 19 hankooks that i can give them for a reasonable price.
