Check out post in classifieds - an extremely well cared for C55 in excellent condition. I hate to part with it but there's a new AMG in town and I don't have garage space for both.

It's Iridium silver w/ black interior and very rare black birdseye maple trim. Option list includes Bi-Xenons, Nav, 6 disc CD, rain-sensor wipers, power rear sunshade. It's always been a Houston car and has never seen snow or salt. First owner kept it a year and I've had it since mid-2007. Odometer is 69.2. Body and paint are all original, look like new, and CarFax is clean. It's had all service on schedule, all at the dealer. Motor and tranny mounts were recently replaced as a precaution. Wheels are perfect and tires are nearly new. Flaws? The usual tiny stone chips on the hood, the usual little scratches on the interior door handles, and a very small dent on the right rear, likely from a car door. Not a flaw, but there's also fresh paint on the lower front bumper where I got it fixed after getting too close to a *@*^#%* curb when parking. Overall condition looks excellent.

pm if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking!

Thanks - that kind of feedback, especially from a senior member and a C55 pro, is really appreciated.

Awesome car. Wish I could jump on this! I won't be in the market for at least 2-3 more months.

Good luck with sale mate!

Cheers,AV

Last chance, guys. The local dealership made me an offer that doesn't make me smile but doesn't cause too much pain. If I don't get it sold by the weekend, I'm going to close a deal with them Saturday morning.

Still, I'd rather sell it to an enthusiast, so here's the win-win deal. Best cash deal over $15k before Friday night gets a really great car. If you know anyone who is hunting for a solid C55, please pass this on.

I really wish I was still in the market for a C55. I love mine but I would book a plane ticket in a heartbeat to land that for 15K if I was still shopping. Sorry to see you didn't have any luck clearing it last month. Enjoy the new ride!
