2004 E55 AMG
FS: 2004 E55, $20k!

Hate to do this, but I am selling my 2004 E55 AMG:

Black, two tone interior (black with dark maroon), 81k miles, I am the second owner. Spent its whole life in Sarasota, FL, until I brought it up to OH early last year. Very clean inside and underneath - closely inspected in on a rack, surprising how clean it is. No leaks (even the common valve cover seepage), a Crown (Central OH based) Mercedes tech and I checked it thoroughly.

Options are the basics for this year - no keyless go or pano roof, has the hidden six disk CD and nav, and the handy AUX IN jack in the glove box. Had a sticker price of around $95k!

I picked it up early last year and drove it back from FL. Originally had 20" Zenetti's on it, but one was bent, so I bought some 19" Sport Edition ST4's from Tire Rack with new Continental Extreme Contact DWS. Less than 2k on these. Had ball joints replaced, new belt tensioner, idler, new belts. Also had all fluids & filters done - tranny, brake flush, oil. New engine cover too, as the dealer busted one of the tabs pulling it off. Interior is great, kids rarely have ridden in it.

Runs great, smooth at speed, won't drive it in anything but sunshine, never snow. And overall, I don't drive it that much, usually remains under a cover in the third bay garage.

Selling because we have a growing family and less room for a toy like this. Going back to bikes (have a Ducati and will get another...). Needs a good home, I feel like I am not driving it enough.

Looking for about $20,000. I bought it for about that and put about $3.5k into it. Have title in hand. Located in Columbus OH. Need to sell, looking for offers.



Thanks,

Chris

Car is 2 minutes from my house if anyone wants me to look at it. But I have seen the car last summer and it is clean. My MB tech did all the work for him. VOUCH

I will post some later tonight when I am home - I shot numerous with my DLSR. Will post a link. Paint is excellent as it spent it's life with one owner in FL, garaged. I never drove it in snow/rain up here since owning it, sits in my bay with a cover. Any thing else, let me know!

soon Mercedes
Like the price

...but I am concerned about the airmatic suspension on these cars. Any input from you as the seller, or forum onlookers who are familiar with this model of E-Class?

It's a shame you took this car out of town.

If it was still around, I'd love to work something out.

The only E55's in that price range down here are beat to hell and have "mystery mods" done

GLWS!

I know you want a bike but do you have any interest in a 2000 Honda s2000 plus cash trade?

The car made it to NC. Wow did it get dirty on the transport but a quick wash job fixed that. I am quite happy with the car. Thanks Chris!

Marcus, I appreciate the time on the phone the other day. You forced me to buy it! Your description was spot on of the car's condition.
I will try to daily drive it until I run out of money. lol
