I'm surprised no one's taken a chance with the grey one in Chicago yet. I know the dealer was pretty shady but it's super cheap, all things considered.

Clicky.

that car was bought at CarMax auction in IL about 4-6 months ago. I was trying to bid on it. After shipping costs, and a couple of the issues it had, I wasn't willing to win the car. sold for 17K, originally he had it listed for like $27K.. pretty crappy color combo and northern car -probably why it hasn't sold in 6 months. and yes, incredibly shady dealer...

I pulled the data card from EPC. The paint color is designo graphite with designo poplar wood and the usual anthracite leather interior. Typical options on the car, though it does not have the power hatch the seller is claiming (not a bad thing, if you've ever priced replacing the gas struts with vs. without the power opener).

Surprised they can't move it at that price point. Must need a bunch of $$$ put it.

Yea, that can happen. When I bought my 2005 with 100k Dec of 2012, it needed nearly $7k in maintenance items to bring her up to spec. Plugs, wires, injectors, trans service, trans mounts, motor mounts, water pump, intercooler pump, brake rotors and pads, tires, cooling flush, valve cover gaskers, rear main seal, serpentine belt. It took the works to get it up to spec...but then you get to add the go-fast parts and it is totally worth it.

These cars are awesome and so fun-if someone could get that car for $20k and do some of the work him/herself, you'd be good to go. I can't wait for my new E63 biturbo wagon! Also, bump, my car is still for sale! Haha

The shady unicorn is back up for sale. Seems like the other 27 buyers realized the condition.

So I was caller #3 on the white 55 Estate in Sarasota. Eric, the salesman, called me and informed me that the GM had pulled the price "Contingent on inspection" and then called me back a few hours later to inform me the price was now $29,995 and that the car was sold.

I then get an email a few days later with this " Hi Tim, I cant believe it but this man flew in to get the car and in preliminary paperwork... his identity came into question. Just bizzare! Anyway you are next on the list. If you are still interested call me immediatly on my cell 570 8xx xxxx.
Eric XXXX"

I was first in line! YIPEEE..... or not.. I asked Eric to please send me the inspection report and detailed photos as they STILL had not posted any. He replied with this some mumbo jumbo about the inspector not wanting to release the report for free and I would need to pay him again to get the car inspected.

Well I passed, seemed too fishy to me.

Today I get another email from him with this: "Hi Tim, yes I still have it. The boss had the car tied up trying to do a deal with a client that was a friend of the owner and I guess they didnt come together. I will sell the car for $25999 if you are still interested.
Eric Xxxxx"

I have been traveling and had not checked MBWorld like I usually do when these pop up but I am sure glad I trusted my gut and not comfortable feeling that I was getting from this gentleman.

It is a shame that this car has such a mysterious past and is not being represented honestly... oh well, the search continues and will just keep driving my low mileage 55 sedan till the right Estate pops up! And I also learned to always trust the watchdog resource in this thread :-)

Eric was my salesman too. I think he is full of ****. I wish there was a "disclosure law" for cars like there is in real estate. They should HAVE to provide any possible buyer the report that I gave them.

Anyway, glad you didn't get suckered.

Update for mine: lots and lots of interest, but no one quite ready to pull the trigger. I am still driving it, and ended up going through another service. The transmission service was going to be $500, and since a few people have worried about a stock transmission with this much torque, and that many miles, I decided to just go all in and get it upgraded and rebuilt. Has 80 miles on it as of today, and has extra clutch packs like the S65 cars with the V12 twin turbo. New torque converter as well, but at the stock rpm. No valve body modifications to keep it sensible, just the Eurocharged TCU tune.
To be honest, it feels about the same as before...but hey, that should help it move a bit quicker (or, if I have to keep it, it gives me peace of mind).

Also looked like the old picture folder link died, so here it is again: http://1drv.ms/1jhBt2F

Thanks all!

Is this the wagon I saw at C&C at the Concours of Amelia Island? I was showing my 190E-16V. If so, this car looks even better in person.

baldmike73

i haven't seen just posting - but looking at some of their other cars - they do quality work.

if they drop the car to 70 or below i may be too tempted not to pass it up

MercsDude - can you post up a few pics of your 190?

AMGoneday

I wish I could! Great looking wagon!
(buy my passat and I can)

Go~Rilla

Anyone in hear know of a list of members with wagons? I'm on the verge of reaching out to each of them individually and asking if they want to sell.

baldmike73

i think most of us with wagons definitely check this thread to see what is new that has come up for sale.

it would be a good idea to post here of what you are looking for.

Ping FastWgn (Bart) he has was keeping a registry of wagon owners here on the site.

bzliteyear

As much as I love the AMG wagon, given the premium pricing for decent shape ones(not too many to start with), I've come to conclusion that I'm better off having both an E63 AND a E350/500 wagon(when right one comes along) as combined it's probably still the same price...and I'd love the flexibility of 2 cars

I already have a family truckster (98 Landcruiser on 33's) and a tube chassis race car so now I just need a family HAULER!

What I'm looking for:
Low mile 05-05 E55 Wagon (60k or less)
SUPER Clean
Has to have cooled seats and a sun roof
White, Blue, Green, Grey, Black in order of preference
Not a ton of mods. If its beyond pulley, tune, wheels and lowered...Not really interested.
Pride of ownership and clean history.

Just found this:
2005 Mercedes E55 AMG Wagon - $24500 (sebastopol)

MercedesDad

Looks in great shape! Someone jump con it before it's gone!

AKnight55

Yes it is. I saw it there as well.

FASN8N

Correct, I tried listing members screen names here in the registry. That is probably your best shot.

FASN8N

I bet this is probably the same car, the silver on the 65 wheels is what started me on the hunt for an E55. Outstanding combo

That sure looks like a good deal on a E55 Estate. Nice mileage, colors & price. I can't imagine that will be on the market very long.

AMGoneday

I like that E55! great price and miles but I don't know if I'm crazy but I will hold out for a E63 or R63...

aw21

That's my old car. I've set up a meeting and just might buy it back. Miss it.

AMGoneday

You should!
And get that B6 back also.
