2000 E55 Tectite Gray
2000 E55 Tectite Grey $12,995

California car! Super rare Tectite Grey with charcoal/ash two tone leather interior. 93K miles. I am the second owner of this E55 having bought it in 2006 when I lived in San Diego. Adult owned. It has been dealer maintained and garaged. I have all service records including the VMI from MB. Mercedes-Benz imported very few Tectite Grey models compared to the traditional black or silver. The performance is fantastic and this car is a "no stories" "no modifications" example. Gets 24mpg on the highway. Very clean throughout and underneath as it spent most of its life in super dry California.

Thanks. I didn't care for it initially but it is different. I get lots of compliments on it. It's unique for sure.

MB should have gone with genuine CF instead of wood it would have really set the interior.

I'm just south west of Boston in the hamlet of Milllville MA 01529. 20 minutes off 495 or 2 miles off Rt 146. You're welcome to a test drive but be careful it's very addictive.

I'm attaching some engine pic's. This car is a lot of bang for the buck and very unique. It still surprises me with its acceleration on the highway and on ramps. Pins you to the seat, literally. If you've never driven one you have no idea of the brute force these factory "Sleepers" possess. These automobiles are currently close to being fully depreciated. Buy a well maintained "CALIFORNIA CAR" like this and run it into the ground or continue maintaining it and sell it for 6~8K in another 3 years. A great value either way.

Price lowered to $11,995. Offers considered. Health issue forcing sale.

Shipped it enclosed by Intercity Lines. It's a tough sell. Such a high end low production car that sold new for $72K and now is worth squat. It's just such a narrow market. Next to nobody outside automotive enthusiasts know what the car is all about. Most guys interested have cars they are trying to sell first. I've been low balled to death and am considering just passing it on to my family.
Thanks for the interest,
Max
