Yeah, don't know how long you've been trying to sell it, but if it's been a while without any interest from Canada as well, then hang on it - and enjoy it -- it's beautiful.

Oh and you're right it looks sooo clean without the plate number in the front. I'd pay the tickets too!

There is NO employee discount on AMG or SRT vehicles, which sucks because I was originally going to get a 300 SRT but without discount there is no way I was paying fully price for a 300 so I then wanted an E' class but did not like the interior then my buddy pointed out the C55 in the show-room and I fell in love the rest is history.

DMC'S AMG

Thanks again for the complements

I only listed it this week, I know it is the wrong time of the year for this type of car but I taught what the heck. I guess I will hang on to it and mod it classy!

For all those who don’t understand why we pay more for cars in Canada.

Click on Canada VS US pricing.

flave

you don't know how lucky you are to get a c55 for that price.
You guys live in a different reality... and you call "expensive" to a c55 for 73k usd.

Here's the price listing in portugal for a NEW C55 AMG:


that's right folks... 117.175€ (euros)

1 Euros = 1.3266 U.S. dollars
1 Euro = 1.51457922 Canadian dollars

So...

In Usa:
117.175x1.327 = 155.491USD
In canada:
117.175x1.515 = 177.520CND

I would be more than happy to pay 73USD for your car... since that's about half of i would pay for it here.

Oh well..this is all because of portuguese taxes.
And you guys think you've high taxes.. lol

NY C32

Who says we suffer from high taxes?

Anyone that says we in the USA have high taxes is insanely naive.

I guess Canadians are better off (wealthier) people, in general....b/c we pay what the "market bears".

valdes

well i think u are going to have to keep your car for a longggggggggggg time

genechien

dude you paid too much..sorry

Substance

where did you get that info?

long before you guys knew about the w221. i have seen a number of S550 on the streats of istanbul. and the msrp on them is 260 000 Euros. all i saw was w211s and w209s, never seen C55. Most AMGs i saw were SL55 and S55. the custom is very strict and they apply high taxes. i tried to bring some american cars (mustang v6 is 95k USD)to turkey and sell them , after a few calculations m they ended up the same money. there is 45 % luxuary car tax then 17 % state tax and some more fees. and you pay tax everyyear 500-7000 dollars a year depends on the size of the engine.

bloodyhands

hey at least CDN pay 1/2 of what we pay for prescription....good luck with the sale

NY C32

Where should I start???
I'm not saying that nobody in Turkey buys new MB's, I'm saying that there is a very large network of importers that buy cars from Germany, amongst other countries, that resell cars there. Don't be surprised to see ML's with US license plate frames too. With less than 1% of Turkish citizens being able afford a new Mercedes at those prices, where else did you think they come from?
Do you not think we have access to magazines and the internet in America? Just because a European car is available in Europe before America, doesn't mean ****. Are you trying to say that the W221 was available in Turkey before there were pictures or press releases available to the rest of the world? Bwahahahahaha You're *******g hilarious

Dude... Save yourself the humiliation. Turkey is a 3rd world country where there isn't a lot of money floating around. So don't try to sell us on some crack pot idea that everybody there drives Mercedes which happen to cost 2-3 x's what it costs us and that they get cars that we don't even know are on the horizon. I've been to Turkey and its its nice but almost as poor as dirt. I also know for a fact that a vast majorty of those "turkish bought" MB's are actually grey market cars, many of them from other European countries and some from the US.

If you dont mind me asking... Do you own the car? Is it financed? Leased? You do realize that you can buy a low mile (under 10k) E55 for less than what your asking for a C55??

My opinion is... You say "I'll just keep it"... thats great.. But the car is going to continue to depreciate.. I would say lower the price DRAMATICALLY.. To within reason of what other one are selling for (not what kbb says). This will get you out of the car.... Asking $73k wont.. Sorry man..

DMC'S AMG

I own the car, bought it cash (CERTIFIED CHECK) I did not realize that the cars prices between the US and Canada was that drastic. Taking that much of a loss is not worth it to me that's why I said that I am going to keep it knowing fully well that it is only going to deprecate. Like I said in one of my replies I am not desperate to sell it!

power-fade

Keep it...it is a wonderful machine.

If you have nowhere to store it....ship it over to my place I'll take of that...I'll alternate driving mine and yours...and no one can tell.

DMC'S AMG

Ah, thanks but no thanks

I plan to keep it, as far as storing, I do have it in the garage just its now winter and my everyday driver has to be cleared of snow before going to work compared to just driving out of the garage. I wish my garage was tall enough, I would buy a parking hoist and problem would be solved!!

diamondblak05

It seems money isn't a problem for you so why don't you just go buy another house with plenty of garage spaces to house all your cars? That wouldn't be such a bad idea. Or yet go rent one of those public storage space. They're cheap and will do the job just fine. It's sad to see someone sell a beautiful car while losing so much money.

MercedesFTW

Buy a whole house just to get another garage space? Wow, someone didn't pay attention in Econ.

DMC- Good decision!

shogan_C55

I have the same car and willing to part with it for $42K.
100K warrenty till 2009.
IPOD and Phone added.
Have all upgrades fully stocked car.

Sell one of the other cars to make space.

ScottW911

Ooo, ouch! I don't think DMC's AMG is going to appreciate you hijacking his Classified, wheather or not he sells it.

always wondered why their are so many benzes as cabs in europe...they all claim (the taxi drivers) that they purchased it for a ridiculous amount vs. usa prices, because of taxes and such... i was always skeptical that a benz owner needed to cab his own benz to make money? or is it maybe that its such good money thats where the rich people in europe come from? could it be thats a "good job" over there? Amsterdam especially high number of benzes as taxi's.. ill always be skeptical..

Taxis i belive dont pay the import tax so first they drive it they are allowed to sell it two years down the road and they get more money then what they payed for the car i belive only 1 person can own 1 tax free cab so they dont buy 20 or 30 and make a business out of it... at least that how it is in uruguay and you see allot of mercedes
