Description:

2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG
WDBUF76J03A389700
040 Black on black Nappa leather interior, with birdseye maple wood trim
115,xxx miles

$13,500, no trades. I am in no hurry nor desperate to sell, in fact, I'd rather not sell but the car literally just sits (2,3xx miles since I bought it in 2017). So please don't waste your time nor mine with a lowball offer.

Up for sale is my 2003 E55. CLEAN title and Carfax, has NEVER been in an accident. I bought this car in 2017 from my cousin who has owned it since 2011 and bought it in California, and had it shipped to Illinois. The car has had an aftermarket warranty since my cousin bought the car, which was transferred to me until it expired last year, I have receipts upon receipts of maintenance done. Major services/repairs completed such as the rear main seal, SBC, air suspension, and way more, see details below. The car is in great condition considering it's 17 years old, no rust and original paint (other than front bumper), and mechanically, it is perfect and needs nothing! No check engine lights, warnings, etc. Can you buy a cheaper E55 on the market now? Absolutely, but it's probably in ratty condition, needs a couple grand or more in maintenance or repairs, and/or doesn't have extensive service history. I have $25k in total of maintenance receipts alone, not including modifications. I have also replaced many exterior and interior bits such as mirror glass, mirror gaskets, center console, interior wood trim, visor mirror, keyless go handle, etc. I know my W211s, this is my fourth and my second E55.
