FS: 2003 E55 AMG, Techtite Grey, low miles, warranty until 2012

For sale is my 2003 E55 AMG, Techtite Grey with 41k miles. The Craiglist add with pictures is attached...

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/1087386826.html


The vehicle has a full CPO warranty for 3 years, until January of 2012 or 100k miles... with that warrranty I would like $36,000 OBO for the car. If you would like the car with only the 1 year CPO until January of 2010 or 100k, then I would like $32,000 OBO for the car. Those extra 2 years cost me $4995, so I am willing to eat $1,000 if you wnat the extra 2 years... which I think is very important on these cars.

Besides the usual E55 AMG options, this car has the following:

Bi-xenon headlamps
Heated and Ventilated Seats
Parktronic
Keyless Go
Rear Sunshade
Chromed Wheels
Interior lighting
Dark grey interior with Burlwood trim (looks beautiful)

Also, has had the recent service including new brakes and New Michelin Pilot Sport Extra load ( PS2) tires with less than 1500 miles on them. The intercooler pump and supercharger pulley have been upgraded by MB.

This vehicle is mint, inside and out... Was bought locally at Mercedes Benz of El Dorado Hills, California and always serviced there... full records available. Never any accidnets or body work/repairs. Truely a nice example with low mileage and warranty intact.

Please call Nick at 916-384-8825

Thank you,

Sorry, but I don't get it. How can you modify the CPO length if you already bought it?

The first year comes with the car when you buy a CPO car. I bought 2 additional years for a total of 3. I can cash in the 2 years and get my money back. Rather than doing that now, I want to be able to offer those two years to the new owner because if not, once the 1 year is up, I am not sure if it is possible to buy additional warranty. So if someone doesn't want the other 2 years of warranty, I will sell the car for much less and just cash the other two years in and recover my money.

Guys, I've seen this car in person many times and ridden in it as well. I can vouch that it is as clean and mint as you will find anywhere. The car runs flawlessly and is very strong. Garage kept every night just like a little creampuff should be. Bump for a great seller.

Thanks for the input... but around here... '06's are in the high $40's and they usually have pretty high miles... mine has very low miles for an '03 and at least 1 year of CPO warrnaty and 3 years if you want it...

Where can I find an '06 E55 with at least 1 year left of CPO for $32k OBO?

Can you find me an '06 E55 with MBZ warranty until 2012 for $36k OBO?

By the way, the '06s you're going to find me have to be in mint condition with low miles too -- not ragged-out auction cars.

Thanks!

I may have someone buying my C230 in the next couple days. If so, I might be interested.

FYI, your craigslist ad has expired. Post pictures on here please

I would suggest getting your money back for the warranty and selling the car for mid to low 20's while you can. The prices will continue to drop. The new E will be here soon.

05's and some 06's are now going for less than 30k at auction.

Or, keep the car and be happy.

Well - It looks like the extended part of the warranty will be cashed in... but I would still like to keep it around 'in case' the buyer wants it... as to the price... I;d rather not get into that debate...
