am selling my 2006 C55 AMG. This is a California car that I have owned for about 2.5 years and put about 20,000 miles on it. I moved to Illinois in late 2018 but its never seen snow. There is ZERO rust on this car. Overall it is in amazing shape. I really baby my cars as you can see in the pictures. Here is a rundown of the car. Dark blue paint – looks black if you don’t look very hard. 187k miles – high miles but well maintained. Engine and transmission are known to be bulletproof. Selling because I am moving and am losing a garage spot. Asking $7500.

Pros:

· Literally zero issues with the car mechanically. I would not hesitate to drive it across the country.

· No tunes or aftermarket parts.

· Paint is in good shape but has some swirls. I would say 8/10.

· Seats/interior is in great shape as well. There is some wear on the steering wheel, but its in good shape overall 8/10

· Everything works – rear sunshade, windows, sunroof, all bulbs, seat heaters

· No warning lights on dash

· No leaks

· Fresh oil change will be done before vehicle is sold (5k intervals)

· Front license plate never installed – No holes!

Cons:

· Passenger seat has a seam that could be restitched (see picture) – Its been this way since I owned it and hasn’t gotten any worse

· Passenger side rear interior window tint is scuffed from something rubbing against it (see picture)

· Paint on spoiler is slightly faded underneath current carbon fiber wrap

Miscellaneous:

· Comes with 2 working keys, but the spare one could use the plastic case replaced.

· Comes with original manuals/books

· Interior wood panels are currently wrapped in brushed aluminum vinyl, but wood underneath is in good shape, I just didn’t like the look.

· Engine hand built by Giuseppe de Giuseppe for those AMG folks.

· Wheels were professionally refinished in gunmetal by previous owner
