Anyone in the PNW with a C55?
I'm considering starting to search for a C55 to replace my current car, but have never had the chance to drive one or even ride in one. Curious if anyone in Portland or Seattle has one who would be willing to take me for a ride so I can decide if this is the car I want before I invest a lot of time in trying to find the right one.


Thanks!

did you pull the trigger on the C55 yet?.. I live in renton washinton and I have a 2005 c55 in mars red. I've only had it for little over a year - ive only seen about 3 other c55 since I bought mine, pretty rare.

You're definitely right about them being rare, in fact they are so rare that I haven't even found one worth looking at since starting this thread. I haven't given up though, I search CL and AutoTrader for one every few days.

I go up to Seattle from time to time to visit friends and for work, and would love to check out your C55 if you are available next time I go up that direction. Let me know if you'd want to meet sometime!

Have you checked this one out? http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/4505409333.html

I think this one has 70k miles. Yeah these bad boys are pretty rare. I haven't been driving mine in the last few months - got a different rig as a daily driver.

I've seen that one, but haven't gone to look at it for a few reasons. I've heard bad things about that dealership, I really want the C55 I buy to come with original wheels that haven't been chromed, and even though I probably can't be picky given the rarity of C55's, I really want one in alabaster white or mars red.

Probably should go look at it though, at least to have the chance to look at and drive a C55.

If you see a black c55 with 5.5 amg badges, monoblock replicas and it's loud as hell, it's mine lol.

are you in the kent/covington area by any chance? I remember seeing a black c55 parked in one of the apartments that I was looking at that time. I also saw another mars red c55 with dark tint and aftermarket rims cruising around the kent area a few months back.

Could have been me. I had a buddy who lived in an apartment in Kent but that was a few years back. The girl doesn't do modeling anymore however.
