"annoyance" and "self-righteousness", amoung others...
2005 C55, how much it worth?

Local stealership has an 05 c55, 75k mi, silver on blk, excellent condition.

this car is totally not in their niche (they sell 4matics to housewives), and are begging me to buy it.

they are asking $21,9. seems wayy too much to me.

what is a reasonable figure to not eff myself?
I would want to pay no more than what it's worth.

agreed too expensive. You can buy a 05 c55 with 64k on it for $20k.

you can check edmunds.com as well. They'll give you a true market value based on your geographic location.

If its out of their "niche" (or neech as we say), they really ought to lower the price. Average miles for a higher end car (MB, BMW etc) is 7-10 K a year, so 50,000 would be more in line with a "top asking" price. They are 25 K over that mileage. What mods or options does it have?? I'd say 18-$20 max. Mike's car (Alumar) is a 2005 C55 and asking only $23,000 with the same mileage and he is highly modified with Kleeman package (S7).

+1, you'd be getting a high11s/ low 12s car that can indeed outrun an R8 on the right day!!

C55 AMG, CLK550
I've got an 05 that just turned 33k miles. Its stock with the exception of wheels and tint. It has the 100k mile warranty and I would never part with it for the low $20s. Oh well I guess I'll just have to keep it...

What kind of question is this? 6 years 12k miles a year 72k miles. Totally normal. And even if not, what are you asking this guy, really? why did he buy a car with 72k miles?

Hell of a car for $17k man.

It was the lowest mileage available in FL, at the time, there was one in Lakeland with 58K but no factory extended, and he wanted 24K
