The owner is some guy named Josh from WI, I already spoke to him regarding his C55, sounds like a real nice car but the price seemed a bit high...I'm looking to replace my totaled 2000 C43.

none
Wonder if the 0-60 time was actually done or if it was an estimate.........4.7sec.
The power was stated as an estimated 380hp.
Not sure what these cars run stock, but I have seen 5.9 sec 0-60 on some sites which seems slow to me. With that said would an 80hp increase bring the 0-60 down more than a full second???
Badass car though...

now I wonder, I would assume that is 380 to the wheels? or crank cause if you are getting 293 carl, he ahs to be getting more right? and does anyone know what actually renntech mods were done, or did they just put the e55 engine in, and the updated diff? did they put in a 2.82? from the e55(I think it was 2.82 could be off)

just checking renntechs site, which has been updated, much to my dislike, they cut out w140 and r129 performance mods, stock for them on the e55 engine is 354, and you can upgrade renntech airbox and ecu for 20hp or s/c with ecu upgrade for an added 106, which would mean airbox gives 10, cause they sell ecu alone for an added 10, which unless he has rounded or has done other mods, that the site has listed, how does he get 380?, he also lists he has renntech headers, did they even make them? Or did he get kleeman headers?

oops i was looking at the ebay bid, let me tell you guys something PEOPLE no matter what kind of mods you do your cars are old very old, no way you are getting over 22k for it, even if it is a 2000, unless some sucker buys it, or you put in 20k into the car you would get over 22k, listen if someone put a 5.4 engine and tranny from 01-02 e55 into it, then kompressor, and everything from kleeman and evosport, and speedybenz, and mbenznl then you would get 30k for it, sound system would have to be in there too, the way I like to look at it is think about the price you want for the car, cut it in half and that's what most people will give you for it, sry if this sounds jerk, but seriously 29k for a 6 year old car, you might be able to get a c55 for that price

I've never seen any good condition C55s for 30k, yet let alone 40k...
He's asking way too much. Just becuase renntech did the mods doesn't make teh value of the car any higher. I was asking only $24k for mine, but sold it for much less. And my new engine and tranny only has 17k miles on it. As much as I loved my car and thought the value was much more, I was realistic and set a fairly moddest asking price. Its rediculus that I also see stock C43s going for low 20s.... Alot of them have high milage too.... And then there is a guy on craigslist that's selling his "brabus" C43 for 22k... All that I can that has been done is brabus wheels and lowered, and a brabus badge on the back... My head hurts from seeing over zealous owners who value their cars more then the actual value of it

...if we wait long enough, we might get the same price we paid for it @ auction. 
(but then again, we can't be driving it putting on all those miles either!)
