Estoril Blue

I'm thinking of selling the E55. I have listed it on other websites, but I thought I'd post it here as well. It's my first post, but I've been a lurker for the past couple years....plus I'm on bimmerforums, twinturbo, clublexus, rennlist, etc, etc etc, etc. Either way, here goes:

2001 Mercedes E55 AMG Sedan - $17,950
Details:
- Detailed Pictures will be posted very soon (I promise...just bought a new camera!)
- 5.5 V8, 349 HP, 391 lb/ft Torque.
- Approx 52.5k miles, weekend/second car, occasional 6-mile round-trip commute to work.
- Obsidian Black exterior, two-tone, AMG-only (black/white) leather interior, black birdseye maple wood trim, moon-roof, automatic transmission, premium Bose Sound System with 6 Disc changer, electric rear sunshade, Xenon HID headlights, 8-way power heated seats with memory, fully loaded.
- 2 owners (2000-2002, 2003-present); original owner purchased the car for over $90k....ouch (MSRP was $76k).
- Less than 2.5k miles on BFGoodrich G-Sport rear tires, over 75% tread on front tires.
- Car has never been involved in any accidents.
- Clear title, clean CarFax history, CA car, well maintained.
- Excellent shape, runs smooth and tight throughout, 100 mph feels like 40 mph.

Additional details:
- Exterior in overall good shape. Few chips + imperfections in front. Car was recently detailed by ADS Mobile – exterior and interior.
- New rear 3M tint, 30% shade (last week).
- Recently replaced left rear window regulator (last week).
- Interior is in excellent condition, very slight wear.

Issues:
- Wheels - good condition, slight scratches + curb rash, but overall in good shape.
- Time and Drive Display on Speedometer (lower right-hand side) - pixels are slightly distorted (common with E class).
- Some slight imperfections + slight scratches on paint (normal wear for a 7 year old car).
- Two very slight dings on lower portion of rear doors.
- Very slight ding on top portion of the trunk.
- Rear trunk scratches - emblems were removed (happened last week in my company’s parking lot). I have new AMG and E55 emblems available, but they're not on the car yet. AMG emblem will cover right-hand scratch; E55 emblem will not cover entire left-hand scratch. At this point, I'm considering either touch-up paint + wet-sanding, or an extra Lorinser emblem I own (I know, kinda tacky).

Location:
- Car is currently located in Mountain View, CA (25 miles south of San Francisco). Car can be viewed in Mountain View or San Mateo/Foster City.

Why I'm selling:
- Looking to purchase an SUV

Asking Price: $17,950

MBUSAFLY9

to anyone who actually wants to buy this guys car, your getting rigged. its not even worth 10 k

GarciaE55

I was thinking the actual market value is probably closer to $14k.

Why are you saying less than $10k? Do you know something we don't?

Estoril Blue

Sorry Colincarnival, I have too many cars right now! Yup, it's a monster with automatic, but I wish it was stick

MBUSAFLY9....let me get this straight....you think $55k for a 2003 SL55 AMG is a good price, you claim to have bought your 2007 SL550 for $108k, and you think my car is worth $10k? Um, no comment.

To some it might be worth $14.5k (local Lexus dealer's trade-in offer), to some it might be worth less, to some it might be worth more. I'm not desperate to sell, so I'm not in a rush. But I'd like to get somewhere in the $17k range. Any offers, just throw them out....the very worst thing I can say is no.

sales pending

hmmm I'm in the market for a new car right now. I'm trying to stay away from the V8's, but the W210 E55 has a special place in my heart and miss my W210's. But I cant fork out 17k for a W210 when 5k more can get you a W211 E. If you ever get to the point where it cant sell and you wanna let it go for for 13k I'll take it. But good luck on the sale, CLEAN and PERFECT E55.

hopefully the check comes through on Monday!

New Price - $16,500

thebenzbar

This is a very good price! At that pricepoint you're pretty much right at (or have beaten) wholesale auction prices since it has below avg miles. If someone is in the market & ready for one, then yours may have a good chance. Good luck, it's wholelot of car for reasonable dough.

jimmydagreek

What kind of SUV are you looking for and what do you roughly wanna spend???

Nice car btw, I sold my 01 E55 just like yours with same interior but silver exterior with 99k miles about 6 months ago. Good luck on the sale man.

Estoril Blue

Thanks thebenzbar...just waiting on the right buyer

Jimmydagreek.....I have a few SUVs in mind (Cayenne, GL500, etc)......looking to spend double what I get for my E55

jimmydagreek

You wouldn't want an Escalade would you??? hehehe, PM me if interested and GL on the sale of your ride!
