S55 AMG '06
FS: 2006 S55 - METICULOUS Car!

2006 S55 AMG with 25,500 miles. Silver with Black interior. Parktronic, rear seating package (not 4 place seating...just heated/ventilated adjustable rear seats), built-in phone with bluetooth puck, Sirius, Keyless Go. She also has S65 style wheels. Car is in mint condition. Just put four brand new tires on 4 days ago (Bridgestone RE050A Pole Positions), and had service B performed 2 weeks ago. Perfect condition in all respects. No one has ever sat in the rear seat. I'm ridiculed frequently for the cleaning supplies I keep in the trunk. No dings, scratches, or any excuses. This is a car you have to see to appreciate just how good the condition is. I NEVER race it or abuse it. Frankly, I've wasted a perfectly good AMG engine. I just like knowing that I have that much power at my disposal should I ever need it.

Price is $54,900.

Call with any questions. 703.405.7676 Paul

Pics can be seen here. https://mbworld.org/forums/showpost....8&postcount=14

I can also send more pics for anyone who'd like to see them.

I bet it's a fantastic car, but your pics are less than impressive.
You need to work harder at the selling part because there are precious few buyers out there.

I don't have a great camera, so the potential buyer will have to see it to appreciate it. Frankly, I wouldn't want it any other way. Your comments are appreciated however.

The best cars are always best appreciated in person However, that doesn't change the fact that better e-listings would drive more in-person viewers.

I'm not sure what your definition of a "great camera" is, but these days even a $200-300 Canon SD-IS series camera can take great (for a non-professional) photos.

Good luck to you

Again, feedback is appreciated, but it is what it is. My car is for sale, I'm not dying to sell it, and have no impetus to do so other than a general desire to try something new. If you'd like to see it, I'm happy to show it at your convenience. If there aren't enough pictures to make you feel comfortable in coming to have a look, I'm okay with that as well. If you're interested in additional photos of any portion of the car, I'm happy to help you there as well.

It is. I'm not actively selling it, but if I find a buyer then I'll get something new.

That was a few months ago. Price is now $50k. Perhaps still higher than some available, but no one is going to buy my car because they're looking for the cheapest S55 in town. The buyer of mine is the one looking for a cherry car that's been babied. Someone who wants to know where the car they are buying came from. Who wants to make sure it's never been raced, modified, smoked in, eaten in, damaged, etc. etc.. Those looking for cheap can always go to an auto auction and make out nicely, though the risk is far greater.
