Thanks guys!
I am motivated to sell the car (sorry not looking for a trade) Anyway If you're serious, I am willing to take offers. At this point I would be willing to take a bigger hit than I'm already taking. My lease is up on my denali (I need to buy a winter SUV and I have a short window to do so) My dealer will take the car on trade which will save on my taxes. The catch is I need to find a buyer soon. Anyway if you're interested give me a call 303-875-9692. Or shoot me a PM I will consider the offers.
This car is sick and It's so much car for the money. Make a realistic offer and I might just take it. As far as options go the President's edition is the car to have. I paid $55K for the car 18 months ago. It stickered over $100K

'15 CLS63 sAMG, '91 GMC Syclone, '89 Saleen Mustang Turbo Intercooled
Awesome car! If I had 40k sitting around doing nothing I would buy it in a second and put it away.
That car will bottom out around 30k if not driven and in 10+ years would acually start to appreciate in value.
It would be a great addition to any collection.
My GMC Syclone I bought brand new in '91 for 18k and has 22k miles on it would be an example of a keeper.
So would my '89 Saleen mustang I also bought brand new and has 21k miles would be another example, except I put a Turbonetics 60-1 turbo on it in '91 so it no longer has the Collection value.

Ha ha it could come to that we will see. I would rather keep it in one piece. It would be terrible to break up a 1 of 7 PE's However Sprint booster, Exhaust, steering wheel, & BT puck might come off. First choice is to sell it as is. The dealer is trying to find a buyer too. So we will see.

BTW I re-listed it on ebay with a starting price of $34,995 NR, Buy it now a bit higher. Needless to say I took a bath on this car.... I would have to believe this is close to the bottom?

The pictures look good but they do not do the interior justice. The CF interior is even more stunning in person. AMG's hand crafted quality is amazing. Every piece looks as good as it did in 2003. When I bought the car I found others cheaper elsewhere but I just had to have a fully option 55 and once I saw the CF in person it was sold.
BTW the replacement costs for all 15 pieces is more than $12,000 and has to be special ordered through AMG.

I may wholesale the car to the dealer if I do that, I would definitely be parting the car. Here is what I may have up for grabs if I decide to go that route.
CF Shift Knob (need core)
CF Interior Dash/Door/Console (need core)
MP Design all leather Steering wheel (need core)
Bluetooth Phone puck
E63 trunk lid lip
Eisenmann Sport Exhaust (need core)
Sprint Booster

CF Knob is being sold along with the AMG CF interior parts. The knob is the only part in the kit NOT made by AMG. It's an aftermarket CL/SL knob sold by MP Design. It does match the rest of the AMG parts perfectly.
The AMG CF interior can be custom ordered from AMG (10+ weeks is what my dealer was quoted) if your dealer has the PE in for service. The cost of the kit through the dealer is over $12,000. When I bought the car from Murray Motors in Denver they were missing the two center console pieces. I insisted that they replace them with the CF pieces not Burlwood. It was in my contract. At the end of the day they were required to order the entire kit from AMG for $12K. Luckily they found another dealer that did not use all of the pieces from another kit used in an insurance vandalism claim. They paid the dealer $1000 for the two pieces. This is the real deal and the fit is OEM perfect.

It looks like I am parting her out.
I think I have a deal on the CF, Steering wheel and Exhaust. The rest is up for grabs. If that changes I'll let you know.

Nothing, but since no one is/was willing to pay a premium for it he might as well make it look like a regular E55 and get some extra ca$h. I know people always say mods don't add value, but this sure looked like the exception to that rule.
