2005 Mercedes Benz C55 AMG
Granite Grey Metallic

This is the rocket ship of the C-class line up. The normally aspirated V8 will put you back in your seat. It is a very fun car to drive. If you know Mercedes then you know that AMG is Mercedes' performance division. Each AMG engine is hand built by one technician and then his name goes on the top of the engine. It takes a lot of work for these techs to become AMG techs.

This particular model, C55, was only built for two years (2005 & 2006) and marked the return of the V8 engine to the C-class AMG line. I believe only around 6000 were built total and of that only several thousand made it to the U.S. Even more rare is the color. When I was looking for this car, almost everyone I saw was black or silver. Brand new, this car sold for $59,000 with the options it has.

I'm not is a hurry to sell this car and I won't if I don't get the right price. I'm not interested in trading for anything. I won't take a cashiers check for twice the amount and ship the car to you. I will take cash or if you need to finance it, I will go to the bank with you and they can give me cash.

The car is paid for. I have the title, it is a clean title. I have all of the service records for it and I only get it serviced and Mercedes Benz. The car is completely stock except for the blue tooth phone system that was in it when I got it.

√ 87,500 miles
√ 5.5L V8 362HP
√ Automatic transmission with Comfort, Sport, and Manual Modes with paddle shift
√ Air Conditioning
√ Leather interior
√ Xenon Headlights
√ Power Windows
√ Power Door locks
√ Cruise Control
√ Harmon Kardon - AM/FM/CD with ipod connectivity
√ Navigation
√ Sony Ericson -- aftermarket Bluetooth handsfree phone
√ Traction Control
√ ABS
√ 4 Way power adjustable steering wheel
√ Memory Seats
√ Heated Seats
√ Moon Roof Tilt up or slide open
√ Dual Air bags
√ I also have a Mercedes car cover and an extra set of Mercedes rubber floor mats I use in the winter.

I'm sure there are more options that I have missed.



I'm asking $19,000 or best offer. Located in Sacramento, CA.

2005 Mercedes C55 AMG
I'm in Roseville and I've been looking for a C55 for a while now. Any issues with the car, has anything been replaced? Can you post some pics?

Are you firm on that price, it's definitely high by a few thousand. Blue book on a '05 C55 with 87,500 is probably about $15,500 and that's if it's in perfect condition.

Either way let me know, I may be interested in seeing the car. It's pretty difficult to find one around Sacramento with a decent amount of miles on it.

Edit: I just noticed the pics, never mind. I saw your car on Craigslist the other day. It's very nice, but overpriced IMO. Either way good luck with the sale. You may want to look into taking it to Luxury Motors in Sacramento over by Arden Fair Mall, they will let you consign your vehicle and have a couple of different payment options but it will obviously cut into your profit a good amount. I'm actually looking at a C55 they have for sale there right now.
