FS: 2005 C55; 70K miles; $17,500

I am selling my beautiful car because moving into a new home and looking to downsize car fleet. This car was daily driven the past three years from April-November. In winter months, the car is stored under a car cover in a heated garage. This car has been a non-smoking car for its entire life. Car has a clean title in hand and CarFax with no accidents.
Mechanically, the car is in fantastic shape as I concentrated on upkeep and preventative maintenance over engine/speed modifications. The car is plenty fast from the factory and sounds magnificent. Additionally, in the two years that this car was imported to the United States (2005 & 2006), only 1,750 cars were brought to our shores so it is a rare car to see around. Now, onto some details:

Note: I have a couple dozen jpg pictures to upload but they are too big for MBWorld. If someone could help resize, I'd be happy to upload them.

Overview
70,500 miles
Maintenance records with receipts since I bought the car in November 2011
Brilliant silver (0744) exterior with power sunroof
Charcoal interior with AMG package and aluminum accents
5.4L V8 with 362 horsepower; 376 ft-lb of torque
722.6 5-Speed automatic transmission with AMG SpeedShift modes
Brand new Bridgestone Potenza tires all around in factory sizes
Xenon HID headlights
Cold weather package that includes heated driver and passenger seats, automatic rain-sensing wipers, heated headlight washers, heated mirrors
Power tilting/telescoping three-spoke sport steering wheel with paddle shifters
Staggered genuine AMG 18-inch double-spoke rims: 225/35R18’s in front; 245/35R18 in the rear
Harman Kardon stereo with 6+1 disc CD changer
Lifetime subscription to MBrace crash monitoring similar to OnStar
Power front seats each with 3-position memory
Power rear sunshade
Folding 60/40 rear seats with power folding headrests

Recent Maintenance
New battery as of April 2013
Replaced voltage regulator with Mercedes OEM Bosch unit
