This is the first time i drove one since 2005

its 2006, black black 84 K miles and 3 owners

looked decent, drove decent, carfax says it has the usual basic services

it does have that push u in the seat feeling that my c320 does nto have, which is great

i fear the miles are too high for my liking though....and i dont care for the color....we really love the granite grey on teh 320 but hey.....

i assume the difference in the price would be about 4-5000 with trade

not sure if thats a good deal

mikekuriger

it's age, not miles, that you have to worry about.

vdubpower

well their all 5/6 yrs old

vdubpower

just did a car.com search

really interestnig cuz there are some cars with 20000 miles for 17grand , and there are 80000 mile cars for the same price...what gives...

Ducatic230

Yeah man I've found the same and the killer is the dealers are holding firm on the price. That would be a general price gap for most cars 4 to 5k.

I searched the entire USA on car.com and only saw 1 2005 with 57k miles for $21,999.

kjb55 try autotrader there should be 5, I found one going to try to pick up next week on there.

But still, is it a lot of miles? Becuase I found one with about that much with a really good price.

vdubpower

theres a red one in sf with 9800 miles, but its red...

i think it was 29000 bucks

i want granite grey , found 2....never bought a used car, so kinda nerve wrecking....esp if its outta state

still prob cant do anything until the c320 is sold...

Good luck finding a granite gray C55, they made less than 2000 of these cars for the US market and 90% of them are black and silver. I didn't really want black, but I can't stand silver so I ended up with a black one. Next most popular color would be white (which I'm not a fan of), then Mars Red (which I would have liked). I really wanted Pewter, but I've only seen one for sale since I bought my car and it had accident damage.

EDIT: If you want one, better get out to PA and prepare to lay down some cash. I've never seen a C55 in that color, too bad about the ash interior because that color does look bad ***.

Those cars have flipped on the highway a couple times..

Gynecologist MD

I'd KILL to have that color. It's looks so sexy

vdubpower

Newzchspy

vdubpower

Gynecologist MD

Found a Granite Grey

If I were you, I wouldn't let the miles scare me. Bottom line if she has been well taken care of (whether its 30K or 90K miles) it really doesn't matter. Unless you are looking for a garage queen, the true beauty in these cars is driving them IMHO.

Newzchspy

Yeah, what the ?? Its all hypothetical here............................

Are you buying a C55 or just thinking about it when you sell the other C Class??

There's not a whole lot of C32/55 out there with less than 60-100 K miles and those with much lower mileage are going to command a LOT of $$$. It all depends on what mileage you want and more importantly, what you want to pay$$$ .

Glad you found a granite grey. I searched for 3 months to find mine. Granite grey with black interior. Sometimes in the right light it looks almost a bluish color. Love it.

vdubpower

gyno are u going for the PA one or the Texas one....i think those were to the 2 i found also

i did drive a ferrari californa today....ehhh...its nice...

91RS

I don't think you want the one in Texas, that's spr's old car that was bought back by Mercedes.

dre5373

Since the subject came up, does anyone know production numbers of specific colors?

vdubpower

whats teh background story on that??

I would not be so concerned with mileage than overall condition of the car. I paid 24k for mine with 65k miles on it but it is immaculate.
