2004 E55 19k Miles Techtite on Charcoal Iforged 19s, $55k
Well, the time has come to part with my E55. I bought the car as a bit of a compromise with my wife. She insisted on a 4-door, but I wanted a 911 Turbo. 4-door won out, lol. I have the good fortune of having my generous brother give me his FX35, so I can now replace the E55 with a dedicated sports car. Anyway, on with the show:
2004 E55
19k miles
Techtite Grey ext.
Charcoal int.
Pretty much standard as far as options. It was originally a basic model with zero options. However, I could not live without xenons, so it is equipped with an OEM Bi-Xenon package. They are the same headlights that come from the factory, M-B part number and all. They were installed by my local dealer and function as any '04 bi-xenons. They do not have the washing system but, lets face it, if you truly need the washing system, you should just get a 4x4, lol.
After that was done, I scheduled Steve Krabbenborg (MBenzNL) to fly in and install a factory Navi system. Same deal. All OEM M-B parts and the installation was typical as per Steve's reputation, i.e., pretty much factory.
I also added Euro bumper strips and had it lowered with STAR by about 1" to close up the fender gap.
The car is currently sitting on a set of Iforged 19x9fr (2.5" lip), 19x10rr (4" lip) Daytonas in anthracite. The Iforged color turned out to be color matched to the car.
It is equipped with a set of Michelin PS2's
In the interest of full disclosure, and to avoid wasting time I am listing all the little imperfections. These faults are reflected in the price. If this was a perfect car, I would be asking for a little bit more:
Exterior: 2 small dings on front driver’s side fender one near headlight and one around wheelwell. Possibly repairable by a good PDR shop/technician, but no guarantees. As-is, nobody notices these imperfections until I point them out.
It has a small rub mark on the rear driver’s side bumper strip and 2 scratches on passenger side side-skirt.
I could have had all this repaired, but I wanted to avoid having anything repainted.
Interior: 2 Scratches 1. on drivers side and 2. on passenger’s side front seat outer bolsters.
Wheels/Tires: One of the Iforged wheels has small 1/2" curb rash on the front passenger side wheel. Tires have, conservatively, 60% treadware left. If the buyer wants the aftermarket wheels and tires, I can lower the price, but the original rear tires are gone and you would need to order a set of matching oem rear tires.
I am looking to get $55,000 if I include Iforged wheels and tires. I can order a set of Continentals for the rear OEM wheels and drop the price to $52500 on the OEM wheels. Buyer would have to buy new rear tires, but I can assist in finding a shop to order and install them.
Serious parties may contact me for high-res photos.
Here's a crappy pic, but I will post more:

I'm interested. How about a fire breathing one-of-a-kind Supra? I'd take a trade and some cash, as my ask for the Sup would be north of 65k.

Folks, the car is on ebay, so feel free to bid. Just do a search for "2004 techtite e55". Since its on consignment at a local dealer, the buyer can now get the benefits, financing and lower interest rates of buying from a dealership.
