My C55 has hit eBay

Check it out...

If they get their asking price, they will have made out well...

But then again, there were two parties between my trade-in and auction--the Honda dealer sold to the local MB dealer, who obviously sent to auction.

At an auction ? heh no way. I bought mine for 18900 almost 2 years ago. Granted it had double the mileage I would imagine they paid 15k for it.

If they paid 15 for my car, then someone lost a bunch of $$$ since I traded it in for a lot more than that.

Hell yes I sure do miss it, but we've only got one car and the growing family necessitated otherwise. The car is in really great shape...it does suck for me to see that it's going to someone else.

Once we have a need for a second car, I'll get myself back in the game, though.

Me too, I'd love to find a very low mileage 06 E55 or just strike hard and get an 11 or 12 C63 with the P31, LSD and Carbon Fiber Package. Whats holding me back? Well, the problem is, no one is sure what MB is doing with the next AMG C Class and if it got the 5.4 TT, then that would be the ultimate ticket for me(5.4 TT, performance package: Can you say 570 HP) . Most likely it'll get the smaller TT at about 450 HP. What I dont understand is that Cadillac has no problem throwing 556 HP in the CTS but MB will hem and haw around on the C Class.

as far as mercedes holding back on the 550+hp part, that is very true. once you start toying around with crazy hp like that (don't get me wrong 450hp in the 63 is alot too) you start to lose the whole auto-x track edge to the car. i understand that the cts-v put down a crazy track time in germany, but what else does cadillac have to show for? look at it this way, we have plenty of cars that can put the cts-v to shame. bang for the buck? of course not. but i'd rather have a 2012 cls 63 (which for sure comes with the m172 5.5 tt) than that government motors car.

Cadillac considers the CTS V a comparable to the E63 and M5, not the C-class.

They can dream all they want, BUT a CTS-V will never be an M5

Just to be clear, I have nothing to do with this car anymore. I traded it in at the dealer and just happened to see it when looking on eBay.

This is not my listing.
