If I had a V6 variant of this vehicle I wouldn't have kept it this long, just a personal preference. The 550 fun factor is too valuable for me to sell versus what I would get for it on the market. Wow only 45k and it's an 05 55. If it's a coupe then that's one great vehicle you got there as I know the 05 55 coupes are highly desirable. I'd probably never let her go.

While the seats are very comfortable the lack of lumbar support is so very sad. It also doesn’t do so well every day living with it. Getting in and out is a pain. Rear seats are useless. Too many issues due to it being a C Class. The 2005 we have is a coupe and we will be holding that for many years to come as I feel the issues with the CLK are worth dealing with as the 55 AMG is a special car. You are willing to deal with silly issues on a car so special, but not when on a car not so special.
