Description:

I am selling my 2006 C55 AMG. This is a California car that I have owned for about 2.5 years and put about 20,000 miles on it. I moved to Illinois in late 2018 but its never seen snow. There is ZERO rust on this car. Overall it is in amazing shape. I really baby my cars as you can see in the pictures (Pictures link for mobile Here) (

) ( ) ( )

Here is a rundown of the car: The C55 AMG is the highest-performance version of the W203 generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The AMG-built "M113" V8 engine powering this sport sedan produces 362 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, subtle styling, and attainable market value, the C55 is revered as a great entry point into high-performance Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicles.

It has Dark blue paint – looks black if you don’t look very hard. 188k miles – high miles but incredibly well maintained. These can go for 300k. Engine and transmission are known to be bulletproof. Selling because I am moving and am losing a garage spot. Asking $7800.
