2006 E55 AMG Wagon
I listed the same in the wagon thread but not sure many see it.
I Originally sought this vehicle to make it a garage queen due to its rarity, and to drive once in a while. Did not happen for multiple reasons.
2006 E55 AMG Wagon:
- Iridium silver
- Black leather interior with burl walnut wood
- Navigation
- Power tailgate
- 3rd row seating
- Heat/cool seats
- Dynamic front seats
- Harman/Kardon sound
- 6 CD changer
- Rear passenger manual shades
- Xenon lights
- Sunroof
Now has little over 66K miles on the odometer. No accident or abuse....Highway driving mostly, and wife using it to take kids to school and back. Own 2 other toy cars and I am bit **** with my vehicles. Bought it in Aug 2013 with 54K on it from dealer in Dallas TX, and was shipped to me in Austin TX. Vehicle always garaged. It is a 2006 model, meaning has some normal wear and tear. I treat the leather, wash, wax the car at least once a month. Leather seat on driver/passenger front side show normal wear but visually good. Back seats are great. Front underneath bumper has been scratched by previous owner but cannot be seen unless you lift the car or put your head under the front bumper. It has some very few minor scratches.
Previous owner had installed Sirius and Renntech Stage 1. Car is in very good condition in and out (some small scratches/ding as expected as explained above). Paint looks great. Did a PPI on it and came with a rating of 8/10 (OEM tires had only 5K left on them, hence lower rating at 8/10 I think). I can share the report from LemonSquad with you if you are a serious buyer.
I also pulled a Carfax report this past week, and will share with buyer. Also suggest you do a PPI for your own peace of mind, and can recommend a company. I will split the cost with buyer once the car is purchased.
Took it to my local MBZ dealer, and did a full service on the car 3 months after purchase....$1,200 later, car was diagnosed in very good condition and no issues were found. All fluids changed as well. I can share the report from my local MBZ dealer as well. Car is dealer maintained. Put a new OEM battery and new OEM crankshaft position sensor (common CPS issue as you know). Put on new Potenza S0-4 Pole Position last April - Stock sizes.
I have not had any issues with the car, and drives smooth and engine feels strong and pulls. But you already know that. Honestly, I am not sure what difference the Renntech Stage 1 offers since I had never driven a stock one. All I know is most of our friends are blown away when we go out as couples!
As for the price: $31K. I think I am in the ballpark and fair compared to the few I have seen sold with a lot more mileage on them.
Feel free to contact me via PM and I will try to respond ASAP. If you prefer a phone conversation for more details, please PM me your number and I will call you.
Thanks.

Thanks.....
Appreciate the offer but too low. There is one on Ebay in your price range but has 115K miles on it. I think there is some history with that one though. Check the wagon thread for additional info on the ones for sale:

$25k?! Is a crackhead price. I bet you would get more on a trade in.
Also, will someone please explain why a "cash" offer is supposed to be so great? It would seem like if you get a loan, write a check, or bring me a duffle bag full of cash it is all the same? They all are cash when deposited to your bank account right?
Nice car and GLWS, screw the lowballers, let them find a regular E wagon the drive!

A cash offer is good because if someone needs a loan, there's a chance the deal could fall through because they can't get the loan. Then if you had someone else who was interested at the same time, you'd lose that buyer waiting for the first buyer to find out that he can't get the loan. A cash buyer just hands you a check or wires you the funds. I don't think it really means much if there's only one buyer, if you have multiple buyers, then you go with the one who has cash if the price is close.

I think that might be a little too far to call it a crackhead price. Just check nadaguide or kbb and see what the numbers say. On the other hand there aren't too many out there for sale so it really boils down to what a buyer is willing to pay.

OP, I wouldn't sell less than $30k, let the bottom feeders find a car as nice as yours when they can actually afford it. Until then, let the drive a sedan or a cheap wagon with a checkered past for cheap.
It took me 18 months to find the right E55 wagon and I was more than willing to pay the premium once I found the right car

If you aren't getting any bites, try selling it to Enthusiast Auto - your mileage is low enough that I think they will seriously consider it.
Their W211 E63 wagon sold for close to $40k. They still have their W211 E55 and they reduced it by $1k. Still pricey mind you:

Just a suggestion. GLWS!
