So the time has come to part with the C55. Wife and I have a relatively new baby (11 months old) and this is our only car. With the growing family, it's getting a bit confined to use in all situations. So as much as this pains me, the AMG has to go.

Car has been extremely well taken care of, and very low mileage. I walk to work, so car is used only on weekends and for trips--mostly highway miles.

General Info:

Car is black on black with Black Birdseye Maple Trim
Navigation
Bi-xenons
Only lacking IPod integration, Satellite Radio and Phone Integration (all can be relatively easily added)
I am the second owner. I bought the car from another forum member "AMGnut" in January 2008 with 5,700 miles
Mercedes Genuine ELW - NO DEDUCTIBLE - good for either 75K miles or 3 years (May 2013)
Car is always garaged
Never Smoked in
Just had service B performed at MB of Cherry Hill (records included)
Rear tires should be changed soon (about 4/32 of tread) but the fronts are OK


Modifications:

Car is lightly modified with

• Renntech CF Airbox
• Hardwired V1 with Remote Display next to Cig Lighter
• 3M Clear Bra
• Tasteful Tinting - 50% Front Passenger Windows, 35% Rear Passenger Windows and 35% Rear Window
• CLK Style Grill
• Flat Hood Emblem
• Audi grocery bag hook in trunk (cool little feature)

Items to note:
Wheels do have some curb rash, not terrible (will post detailed pics in next day or so)
Hood does have a few paint chips, but not noticable unless you're really looking for them
Car really is in wonderful shape
I did have one minor fender-bender (rear ended at very slow speed), only required some bumper paint touch up/scratch removal
No other stories with the car

Mileage, Location and Price:
Mileage: Slightly under 26,200 right now (Nov 1) will increase slightly as I still drive it
Location: Philadelphia, PA
Price: $25,000 OBO

Please PM me with any questions. Will also probably put up on Autotrader and EBay, so I'll include EBay link when I get it set up.

Thanks!

FWIW, what did she dyno at?? Great looking car!! GLWS!! Whatcha moving up to???

cdd

Thanks for the kind words.

Dyno chart below. With the C/F Airbox and K&N Filters, she popped out a 318 HP and 330 Torque at the wheels on a Dynojet. The lower line is with the stock airbox.

Also, here's the thread I posted after the runs if anyone is interested.

As for "moving up", I'm not sure I would call it that. We're looking at a Honda Pilot. I do think it's funny that the Pilot is almost as much as what I paid for the C55 back in 2008!

Did your keep all the Factory parts that you removed to modify the car? just curious, been looking to get a C55 soon.

cdd

Thanks for asking.

Yes, I have the stock airbox, stock grille and stock hood ornament.

Can you post some pics of the Interior of the car, also of the Fenders, Front doors, Rear doors, quarterpanels, rear bumper and front bumper, roof, pillars, trunk, hood. I;m kind of interested, so i'm there right now.

djrabbi

what % tint you have on the front? Looks clean and nice. want to put that on me E....50%?

cdd

Apologies for the delay, and I'll be definitely posting up a bunch more pics in the next few days--I'll get all the ones you're looking for. Worst case scenario, I'll post them up on Saturday if I can't get to it after work this week.

The front windows are 50% tint. Rear passenger windows and rear window are 35%
