I bought this car in March of 2011 and it’s been a reliable and fun car to drive. I flew down to Albuquerque, NM to pick it up and drove it back to Oregon to be my daily driver. However since then we’ve picked up an X5 which has turned in to our every-day car and I find that the C55 doesn’t get driven that much anymore. We also have a 2008 Z4 M-Coupe on the way so I’ve finally come to the sad conclusion that it’s time to let someone else enjoy the C55.

Here are the details…

• Black exterior and Black leather interior w/aluminum trim
• 58,950 miles
• All the standard features plus…
• Bi-xenon headlights
• Heated headlamp washers
• Rear sunshade
• Rain sensing wipers
• DVD Comand Navigation system
• CD changer
• (3) key remotes

The few changes I’ve made…

• Sirius Satellite radio. Bought an oem receiver on ebay and had the local Mercedes dealer do the install. The magnetic antenna is sitting on the trunk lid but the wire connecting it is hanging loose in the trunk. It wouldn’t take much to clean up the wiring.
• Hood Emblem. Replaced upright star with a flat star badge
• 18” Bremmerkraft BR05 wheels w/AMG center caps
• Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires

You also get…

• All four original AMG wheels are included though they aren’t in the best shape. When I got the car it looked as if a few of them had been re-painted at one point and some of the paint is peeling off. There is also some curb rash on them, with one wheel having a large gouge in it

I’m the second owner of this car and have a Carfax available upon request. This car has never been smoked in and is in great shape inside and out. There is one small door ding on the front passenger door (just noticed it recently...grrr) and the hood has several rock chips from what I can only guess was the previous owners gravel driveway. Other than that this is a beautiful, black, super-fast and fun car.

Since someone is bound to say it, I might as well jump the gun: your asking price is probably $4k too much. But good car, GLWS.

Wow, $4k huh? I did my research on auto trader, blue book, Craigslist and this board. Didn't think I was that far off. Thanks for your input.

I think the price is fair.

Fair Price

Your research is based on asking price, not sale price. Hey, don't get me wrong, I hope you get what you are asking for, that way we know the market is back up. Good luck

X2, you could prolly get a 2006 C55 Kleemann SC with 1/2 the mileage as this car ^ ^ ^ for a few thousand more than this car ^ ^ ^. Market for these cars is weak and they all take premium to boot!! Plus, 60 K on the car is NOT a low mileage vehicle. Nice car and GLWS!!
