Description:

Selling my 2005 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG. I kept the car planing to make it a project car but never had the time to do it. Now that I'm expecting some expansion in the family, got an SUV and decided to finally sell it. The car has some cons and stuff to work on, but it should be a great donor for a current C55 AMG owner or parting out.


SOME HISTORY
Due to an accident in 2014 (the car spun and hit the curb with the driver side wheels) the insurance deemed it total loss. Bought it back from the insurance, replaced the wheels and some bent control arms, frame was not bent or damaged in the accident. Got a rebuilt title and have been driving it as a weekend car ever since, putting more than 22k miles on it.

COSMETIC ISSUES
When I bought the car, the car had already a few cosmetic damages. Mainly the bumps on the front hood, bumps on the rear trunk, scratches and cracks on the driver-side bumper and quarter panel. Since owning the car, my wife put some road rash on the front rims (pretty small tho, and easily fixable), and also hit the passenger side headlight along with the bumper, quarter panel and hood. Headlight was replaced, and wife was put on a ban list at driving my cars.
Also, someone scratched my rear bumper in a parking lot.
On the photos you can see all the major damages so you can inspect it better.

MECHANICAL ISSUES
Usually AMG engines consume some oil, however lately my oil consumption has went up and some black smoke is coming up when driving it hard. However, the engine still runs very good and theres still a lot of power left. Mechanics said a replacing some gaskets and rubber elements in the head should fix up the consumption that goes in during increased pressure. Other than that, there are no other issues with the car. Even with the increased oil consumption, the check engine is not coming up, and have been able to pass a smog check for the car.
