the cost of the front E63 brake rotors (OEM) are 4-5 times more expensive than the ones for E55. does anyone know why? It was one of the reasons I decided to go with the E55.

2-piece vs 1-piece. But that's only for the fronts. Rears are single piece on both cars.

The supercharged 55 is the torque monster here. The m156 6.2 engine makes peak torque of 465lb-ft, with 90% (418lb-ft) available at 2K RPM. The supercharged M113 engine makes 516lb-ft, with full torque available from roughly 2500-4500RPM. So in the middle RPM range, the supercharged engine is delivering 25% more torque than the naturally aspirated engine.

2007 E63 Wagon
Likely selling the 07 E63 Wagon shortly.....

So I'm likely going to sell my wagon, after only a few months of owning it..... I love the car, but will be given a 24/7 car for work soon and the payment/insurance doesn't justify it sitting in the garage to be driven once a month.

First posting about this car is on Page 29 of this forum, on 9/4/13. I later added some info about the car and some pictures.

I'm not quite ready to hand it over, it will likely be in a week or two, but I figure I'd give you all dibs first.

Everything's really the same, except the miles are now almost at 88k. (I initially accidentally posted 84k) New tires within the past 2k miles and fresh alignment at MB Dealer.

I also picked up MB rubber floor mats, roof rack, surfboard pads, and 4 bike racks for it.

I'd like to get $29k for it. I'll try to advertise it a few places before going much lower than that.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested at all. I'm in San Diego area. I can meet somebody within a reasonable distance if there is serious interest.

Thanks!

2007 E63 Wagon
I have a couple people interested but no deposit yet. I wanted to drop a line and let you know I accidentally stated the car has 84k instead of almost having 88k. Not a major difference, but didn't want to seem sneaky!

I've corrected the initial for sale ad.

Also, I could likely hand over the car almost immediately, as I'm taking delivery of a running project car this week.

Thank you for your interest!

that was my point when i initially posted about carriers... the dealer or it's affiliates will get much better rates simply because of the volume they use IF they use the same carriers each time... if they're on the bidding system then it's a crap shoot but you'll still get the cheapest transport rates...

it's about $18k on KBB. Assuming it's in decent condition, whoever bought it got a great deal!

Track Junky thanks for listing the important details

KBB doesn't matter on a wagon. There are so few of them around, it is hard for the normal sources to place a true value on these cars.

The car looks like it is in good shape for nearly 150k miles. Swap out the wood and merlot insert sets for another set and it would be a sweet car.

Someone got a pretty good deal.

09' E63 wagon ( white ), 09' E63 wagon ( grey )
I had the deposit on it. I drove my E500 and my E55 to Savannah and it was a done deal till I actually saw the car. I estimated $15-20K to make that an AMG and not a truck! It is in very rough shape, interior is probably a 4 out of 10 and exterior a 5 out of 10. The front end repair was not done right and you could see the seems not aligning up and the hood was higher on the right side. The rear hatch doesn't close because it's crooked and it already shaved the paint on the right pillar. The back seat was torn by the owner's dog or dogs, hair everywhere and super bad odor. There is rust on the side panel on the back rear window. I can go on and on but the bottom line is that it is a E55 wagon that can be brought back to life by someone with money to spare. It wasn't for me.

That's such a shame. Hope it found a better home and the new owner will take better care of it and fix it up. Now I see why it was priced the way it was priced.

quick update, the car arrived earlier this week in amazing, like-new, condition, exactly as described by David @ Santa Barbara auto group . Plycar did an excellent job in delivering the car cross country in the same condition as when it was picked up. I would recommend giving a call to Derek @ Cosmic Carriers (508-614-5843) if you are looking to transport your car. He was very professional and were patient in answering all my n00b questions about auto transport.

btw, are there any E55 wagon owners in NYC here?

At that price the condition it sits in should have been expected. It was priced way too low not to be in rough shape like it is.

That's a bummer, but it does explain why the wagon was priced below book. I checked, and neither NADA nor KBB differentiate wagon pricing from sedans; they are the same.

As an aside, does anyone know what the PA '06 wagon offered by Bruce sold for? It was listed at ~$35K on Ebay, and bidding went to $29K IIRC.
