If I wanted to buy an 05 C55 with 70k miles, would I be called crazy? I believe these are one of the strongest built MB's. The owner can show maintenance records from mile 0-70k. Very interested in switching out of my S430 to a C55.......after all im a 21 year old college kid, C55 has my name on it

Not sure why you'd think that'd be crazy. If the deal is good and you've got the cash. Take it.

It's really a matter of, do you want the comfy smooth ride your S class gives you or do you want some get up and go the C55 will give you.

MBNiko

Im definitely ready for a fun car. I am well educated on the AMG's but have no first hand experience. I was making sure that 70k miles for $17,500 was a decent deal?

Budget Baller

I don't know the KBB off hand so I can't say either way to be honest. Start there first. But keep in mind the economy sucks. A lot of people are trying to sell their cars. Use to that to your advantage.

MBNiko

Great point. It was also driven by a female for the past 3 years as well Hopefully this goes through so I can officially join you guys here!

Sounds like a good deal to me.

KBB private party value is $19,915..Offer $17k and go from there..

MBNiko

I was actually going to say 16k. Apparently theres a little crack in the front spoiler. Might as well bargain. I hope this goes through well, I need to sell my S class first!

MBfinatic

I would go for it!

Doesn't sound crazy to me, but maybe I have a biased opinion lol...if the price is right I doubt you will regret it!

MBNiko

The only thing holding me back from this is selling my S430! I can sell it for 10k to a dealer but....... Im gettin ripped off real bad. Worst case scenario I pull out more money to cover the low sell price on the S. Do you guys suggest a good buy back dealer?

vdubpower

theres one by me 20grand, 83K miles

issue for me would be selling the c320...

need to find a c55 in granite grey tho...love my color...black and silver are booooorrrring

MBNiko

I feel your pain.....

vdubpower

not because of sentimental reasons at all.....even tho it is wifes car , father inlaw got it for her, but with 2 kids, she drives denali anyways....and i keep my w126 going

MBNiko

Well I was saying that because I need to find a buyer... Id let it go for a good price but the dealers would really screw you over if you just took it there only to sell a car to them. I have guaranteed offers of $10k but I was shooting for a bit more..

MBfinatic

put it up on ebay and cars.com...

MBNiko

On Vehix and Cars

MBfinatic

Well good luck to you

Just exercise a little more patience and wait for some excellent deals in Cars.com or Autotrader. I got mine in very excellent condition with Nav and Bix, 60K miles, for only 15K.

MBfinatic

Yea I waited a year to get a one owner fully loaded nav, hk, and xenons and also clean carfax for 17,5. It also had 49,936 miles. Im very happy with her.

vdubpower

wow if c55s are this cheap, my c320 iis like 10grand them...

EVOII_Racer

Buy it dude the c55 is a really great machine.

Btw it's amazing & I am jalous on how cheap you can get a C55 for in the US. I think I will import a C55 from the US for my next project, it will be much cheaper! Thanks also to the USD / CHF exchange rate but not only! Just to compare a C55 with 60 000 miles costs ~ 47 000 USD in Switzerland!

Anyway, If you are looking for a great handling and fast ride you can't go wrong. Back to driving mine

MBNiko

This C55 will be a daily driver and from what I hear highway mileage is pretty damn good. Im very excited at the very possible possibility of me having a C55
