2005 C55
FS: 2005 C55 AMG, 34k miles, $21,950

I bought a new CTS-V and no longer need my C55. If anyone's interested, please refer to my Autotrader ad for my phone number/email contact or just private message me.

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

The car is in outstanding shape, and I've priced it better than any C55 on the market, considering mileage and condition. I'd love for it to go to another enthusiast who will love it as much as I have.

Regards,
Matt

Hey Mike,

the car was originally purchased (and subsequently traded in) at Star Motors Cars in Houston by a very regular customer who bought it for his wife. She traded the car in for a new S600 and I bought it in March of this year.

I have a full service history of the car up to that point which I can email to you. The only thing I've done since purchasing the car is an oil change which I did myself in August.

Regards,
Matt

Great talking to you Matt, hopefully everything goes smooth with the buyer of my car tomorrow, and your C55 will have a new home soon

You did for sure!!! Read the papers, its a bad economy and there's not a whole lot of demand for one percenter cars!!!

GLWS, she looks nice!!!

Maybe this is it: I have a full service history of the car up to that point which I can email to you. The only thing I've done since purchasing the car is an oil change which I did myself in August.

Oooh very nice. Was actually looking for one of these about 2 months ago but couldn't find the right deal. Ended up going budget on a 230 instead

Cheers to a fellow TN member! Nice car and GLWS!

Yeah man! She's tucked away in the garage waiting on you!!

A Man U fan, huh? A couple of my soccer fanatic friends might have something to say about that. I know one's got your back though. haha

As am I, but I think she may have found her new home.

Thanks man.

I personally always love to see an owner that handles his own basic service...I just don't trust dealerships/shops. This way, I made sure of exactly what oil went in, that BOTH drain plugs were opened (and the oil wasn't just pumped out), that new copper crush washers were installed, new rubber gaskets were put on the filter, etc...

I'm loving it! The car's got 1500 miles on it now and to this point, no regrets. It hauls *** and sucks gas...lots of it.

I'll miss the little 55 though...it's such an amazing car. Mercedes knows how to build one hell of a ride, and it won't be my last AMG, of that I'm sure.
