Description:

I am thinking about selling my 2003 S55 AMG Designo with 128k miles. It is in Everest Green and have confirmed with MB USA that there are under 10 of these made in this color (they apparently don't have production numbers on vehicles produced in fewer quantities than 10)

I have only owned it for a little less than a year and am selling it due to reprioritizing things in life. During the 8-10 months of ownership I have done a TON of meticulous work to the car, going over it with my typical OCD fine toothed comb, covering numerous big ticket items/repairs as I had originally planned on keeping the car indefinitely. I would not hesitate putting my mother in this car and sending her across the country.

-9H Ceramic Pro Coating (5 year transferable warranty. Also covered by insurance)
-All ABC Lines
-Transmission Conductor Plate
-Trans Filter, Gasket
-Denso A/C Compressor
-Behr Radiator
-Mishimoto 82°C T-Stat
-MB Coolant Hoses
-Moog Control Arms
-Moog Ball Joints
-Moog Inner/Outer Tie Rods
-SKF Wheel Bearings
-Febi Engine Mounts
-Lemförder Transmission Mount
-MB Valve Cover Gaskets
-MB Washer Fluid Reservoir & Gaskets
-Bosch Bi-Xenon Projector housings
-Custom Dual 3" Mandrel-Bent Exhaust
-VRP 3" Intake
-77mm Clutched Pulley (OEM Clutch)
-RaceIQ Tune
-Snow Performance Water Injection
-Hancook Ventus V12 Evo2 Tires
-Weathertech Floor Mats (not shown in pictures)

I know I am forgetting items that have been replaced and am purposely leaving out the small, annoying things done that make the difference. The only thing left to sort out on the car is the interior. The previous owner unsuccessfully attempted to dye the interior black. I've been quoted $1300 to replace the dyed sections with Nappa leather sections that match the OEM grain. I just never got around to it. Fortunately none of the perforated sections were dyed or it would be more.

I have poured my heart and soul into this car over the course of my ownership and am genuinely proud of it. Asking $14k for it.

Not to be crude, but, what's your bottom line dollar-wise?
