I have maintained this car with an open checkbook. I have babied it since the day I bought it. It has never been to a track, on a dyno or in any legit street racing. I have put less than 4,000 miles on it in 4 years. It sits in my garage and hardly gets driven. Needless to say it has never seen rain or snow.
I had the windshield replaced because I couldn't stand rock chips in it.
The wheels are absolutely incredible. It's likely that you will never see another set on an E55. Satin centers with gloss black lips. They would cost over $6000 to replicate without the center caps or tires. They fit the car perfectly. The rear lip is as deep as you can get on these cars.
The exhaust note is sublime. The Renntech mufflers do not sound like C63 mufflers and that is why I bought them. They have a deeper, lower growl. Less raspy. They are nearly identical to the Eisenmann design. And they look great from behind the car since they are polished stainless. The tips stick out perfectly.
The Weistec setup, Killer Chiller, brakes, motor mounts and transmission service have less than 900 miles on them. I just installed a brand new, OEM Mercedes battery.
Paint: 9/10 (rock chips in hood, small ding near fuel door, scratch near E55 badge on deck-lid)
Interior: 9.5/10 or better, it's nearly flawless
Mechanically: 9.5/10 (I think the passenger side valve cover gasket is leaking slightly again)
Maintenance: 9.9/10...to my knowledge, nothing is needed.
Needs: I painted the valve covers wrinkle black and they need a repaint. The rear diffuser could fit better. A body shop could certainly get it looking better. Maybe a single stage paint correction just to get some light swirls out.
Walk-around video:
Start up and rev:
Asking price: $25,000 / offer
If you have ANY questions, please ask. I will answer openly and honestly. I can send more pictures, videos, etc.
Text me @ Seven one six, nine zero one, six nine seven three.
***I am selling this car because I bought a 2015 GT-R and want to spend the next couple of years blowing my money on that platform.***

MBWorld Fanatic!
I can vouch for this car. Having seen it personally it is one of the best examples around - both in performance mods and condition, which is as close to a new E55 as you can get without getting one still in the wrapper.

E55 AMG for sale
Hi there!
Do you still have it?
Are there any issues with the car? Any accidents on record? Who did all the aftermarket install work?
Thanks!

I’ve been speaking with him for weeks but there’s a problem with the car atm. Apparently it needs a new ECU and he’s handling it now, he got a deposit for the car about 2 months ago but buyer didn’t come forward. Once he changes the ecu and fixes the car he will be giving the buyer who put a deposit a chance to purchase it or he may sell to me.

A new ECU has been purchased, programmed and is having an appropriate tune for the car mated to it momentarily. I suspect that should clear up any residual issues. I took a non-refundable deposit way back on 7/3/19. I was in constant communication with the buyer until late July, then they vanished and I haven't heard from them since 8/10/19. The car is going to back up for sale as soon as the ECU is installed, some road time has been logged and I am confident that any issues have been taken care of.
There has been an overwhelming response to this car. I still get text messages several times per week from random people asking about the car. I have saved many of the numbers of people who I felt were serious. But some want to tire kick and make "cash" offers in the mid-teen's, without even seeing the car. It's one the best E55's I have ever seen and I've seen many. I won't haggle much on price.
Stay tuned...
