***For Sale*** 2004 E55 Pewter/Metlot Interior 32k miles Warranty for 8 Years
Hey Guys,
I think the time has come for me to part with the E55. S63 is on the way and I had to pick between the SL55 and the E55 and the SL55 seems to have won the right to stay around. Two fast 4 doors seems like a little overkill for me I guess. I was starting to enjoy the E55 a whole lot as of late so I was losing sleep trying to pick which car to keep.
My E55 is very well equipped and has everything except Pano and Distronic. The car has Pewter Paint and the two tone Merlot Interior (actually a very striking interior. It has a bit more character than just solid black. ).

It has:
- Bi-xenons
- Active Ventilated Seats
- Dynamic Drive Seats
- CD Changer
- V60 Phone Kit with voice control
- Rear Shade
- Rear Side Window Blinds
- Parktronic
- Trunk Closer
- Tire Pressure Monitoring
I have the window sticker at home and it still sits on the MB sticker sheet and never has been put in the window. I pick my cars up at the VPC (Vehicle Preparation Center) and prep them myself so there are no holes in the bumper etc.
The car has been maintained unlike any other car around. The big selling point on this car is that it was been cared for very well and nothing has ever been neglected at all. The tranny, and diff fluid was changed at 15k and 30k miles, oil was done every 3-5k miles, and the coolant and brake fluid were flushed as well.
The brakes were replaced several thousand miles ago. That was a full brake job including pads and rotors at all four corners. It only needed front pads but I figured I wanted it all to be like new again.
Tires were replaced at 30k miles (2k ago) with a fresh set of PS2's in OEM sizes.
As for the condition of the interior and exterior, I am a truly insane individual and the cars condition show that clearly. Every time I wash the car I put on a fresh coat of BlackFire Wet Diamond Synthetic Paint sealant. Every 3-6 months I do a full 6-7 hr over haul on the exterior with my porter cable and only the best products. I could talk for hours about finish care but that would likely put everyone to sleep! I use polishes and products designed for ceramic clear coated paints and have all the required buffing pads and products. On the inside, the rear seats are basically never used and the car is frequently detailed inside as well. I use griots garage leather care to condition the leather and I use Griots Garage's leather cleaner to clean off any surface dirt. These products do not dry the leather out and they do not leave any sort of shine on the leather. Instead they leave the interior looking like new and with a very nice and tasteful smell similar to that of a new vehicle. The wood trim is protected and waxed with Zymol Wood Polish and that helps keep the wood from fading and cracking. The car is always garaged and if it has to spend any time outside I use my car cover from California Car Cover Company.
I have had all recalls done on the car and I have also had many items replaced under warranty as I am likely certifiably insane. For example I did not like how the car drove compared to the 2006 vehicles so I had all 4 shocks replaced with new 2006 versions. The intercooler pump and been replaced and it is working fine right now.
There are some small little blemishes from daily use on the car but they are not the sort that people would notice. There is a slight scuff on the front drives side rub strip from hitting a cardboard box while driving home form the Historics at Pebble Beach last year for example. It is slight and only on the rub strip so a new strip will fix that in 2 minutes.
The car has the MB extended warranty for 7 or 8 years or 100k miles (I forget the time since I bought it when the car was 10 months old. It is transferable to the new owner so this car is covered for at least 4 more years and 68k more miles. That alone should make this car unique.
I have never taken this car to a 1/4 track and it has never been out on a race track. I thought about doing it but I just could not bring my self to risk damage since I have taken such great care of it so far. I don't drive it all that hard and tire life should show that. I get 17k miles or so out of each set of tires which is not half bad for a car with this much power.
The car is 100% stock and has never been modified or upgraded in any way (other than my V1 hardwire I did my self).
I am asking $55,000 for the car.
Contact me with any questions. I would be glad to show the car to all prospective buyers. I hope a forum member looking for a really clean car with a warranty grabs this as I would love for it to go to a good home. I put a lot of time and money into caring for this car and hopefully the new owner will enjoy it and continue the love.
