Low (Lowest?) Mileage C55
Every now and then I search up C55 listings to see how much these cars go for (to check whether they've gone up in price at all, like their M counterparts); but today I came across a particularly rare listing:

2005 C55 AMG with ONLY 3,429 KM!!
I know we've had posts of 'lowest mileage C55' before, but I searched and couldn't seem to find it again. In any case, I'll be surprised to find a lower mileage C55 than this. On a side note, i guess our AMGs really aren't ever going to appreciate to the level of the M3s, even the SMG E46 M3s have held their value more than the C55s.

The C55 is a car that very few people recognize or even know about.
Pedestrian AMG cars drop value like a rock. I could have had an E55 for $2000 more than I paid for my C55. I just didn't want the ownership expense of the bigger faster car. The goal was to buy a reliable CHEAP car that was fun to drive.
As for the M cars, they simply handle better than the common AMG cars and have the resulting cult following.
