FS: W210 2001 E55 $9k NoVa

Figure I'll give it one more shot. My second child arrived 4/29 and after a few weeks of both kids in the E55, it's just not the most sound thing to do. I got this car from a local ~6month ago thinking I can make it work and spent ~$2k since. Originally I had wanted to break even but hopefully at this price point it'll sell fast and I'll suck it up and take the loss.

Below is the ad from the E55 forum. https://mbworld.org/forums/w210-amg/...firm-nova.html (pictures are here too)

It's time to list my '01 E55 for sale. The car has no rust, no accidents, no leaks, no smoke, and is fully serviced. The car runs and drives 100%, my daughters ride with me in this car and I don't mess around when it comes to them, the car's reliable and runs great. I tried to make it work but it just doesn't make sense to transport 2 kids under 3 in this car. Here are some basic background information:

Clean title, title in hand.

114k miles, the car is clean both inside and out. Silver with black interior.
COMAND
New tires less than 1 year old.
Fully serviced, and I have all paperwork since 2009, this includes new MAFs, new engine mounts, trans fluid flush with MB fluid (essential), various Service A and Bs.
11/2010, I added the X-pipe and resonator delete mod. This was not a hack job, it's an one piece custom mandrel bend piping mated to a X pipe from Mandrel Bend Solutions ($$) in MD. The OEM cats and resonators will also convey.
12/2010, I had the front bumper professionally repainted due to all the rash it accumulated over its life. Not accident related, and I have the before photos. This was done out of pocket to the tune of over $1200.

Here are the problems, as I know it.

The pixels on the outer LCD areas are going out.
It is missing the driver's side door sill.

Keep in mind you are buying a used car so it'll not be perfect but the car is in very good condition. I welcome a professional PPI for you if you are really interested. There are several well known MB independents here as well as a MB dealer just a few miles from my house. I have a lot more photos available to share, about 100 in all. Please email me if you are seriously interested and I will forward it over to you.

A few changes, car now has ~116k after roadtrip. Took it to Carmax and everything checks out, no paintwork, engine issues. All condition were assessed as "Good condition"

The comments were "Shows well. vehicle is well maintained." Please let me know if interested.

I am suprised that the car is still in your possession. Very clean and well kept vehicle.

So tempting, but so far from CA to South Riding. Good luck!

I know you were looking at it before if you want to see it in person I can fly you out here, got some United miles I need to use up. It'll be a long drive home ...
