Same can be said about the C55. I've been thinking about unloading mine but I don't want to take too much of a loss.

im expecting to get between 10-12 depending on selling all the stuff ive added with it or after the fact...and im looking at c55 in the 20-22 range with around 50-60k miles which from what ive seen isnt hard at all...its better than trying to find a c350 which is holding its resale much better than c55 which i was a bit upset about at first but oh well i guess i'll have to settle for 100 more hp and paddle shifters...

you have a white C55 , Thats the exact color I'v been looking for but all I see are silver, black and pewter ones. I would say the prices on all the w203s are extremely low, The coupes, sedans, C55s and all others. Only one who has't really taken to much of a hurting was the C350, probably because of how rare it is

I would say 12 would be pretty fair. and 20-22 would also be fair for a C55. If your looking for a c350 though there is one for sale that I saw on craigs list. I mad a post about it in the w203 section

ya i took a look at that one but it'll be another year before im in cali and im cutting it tight on funds for this exchange so an extra grand in shipping charges really doesn't help me out! lol but ya i love black white and the pewter to be honest...and right now black and white are fighting for first...obviously mine is black and i love black...never had a car clean up so nice as the w203 in black! but white is just prestigious looking and i do like the white car with black trim/accents look (or c/f)

My ideal C55 would be white exterior, black interior. Tint the windows black, black out the front grill, get some nice black wheels for it, and as you said some CF mods. I mite just wait out 2 or 3 more years though and get a C63 coupe when the prices on those start to fall, even though they will still be pretty high

My original plan was to get rid of the aluminum trip for the ash wood but I got a killer deal on the MP Designs trim. The rear diffusor is made by a forum member in Thailand, fitment is not that great for price and the pictures make it look alot better. I'm not sold on the Brabus bumper either, but it was a hellofalot cheaper than a CLK63 bumper.

EuroTek was dealing MP Designs trim. Although I bought my trim second hand, it was purchased from Neal and is branded with MP Designs.

I don't off hand however fitment on the four doors is near perfect. The center consol...that whole center stack is so-so.

C55s are fine cars! One of Mercedes best kept secrets really. Not the fastest for sure but a lot of fun and bullet proof!

C350 6spd is a rare car to! Sent the the U.S was about 200 c350 6spd's and than 1750 c55's were brought here. Both really low numbers though! I can say both cars are great. I miss my c55. Stupid fast car with some simple mods.. Either way you will love it. I may let y c350 6spd go for nothing under 19k.

19K is a great deal for a C350! the one that I saw on craigslist was I think 20 something I dont exactly remember. But why are you letting it go? you just got it, whats next if you do sell it?

The other one is asking 22k. I have almost half the mileage. There is a white one on ebay right now with a salvage title. Also the blue one goes one ebay every once and awhile with a salvage title. I am not looking to sell it but if a forum member gave me 19k I would consider letting it go. Now thats a maybe.. I just drove it today and love it lol.
