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.

Hi everyone.
Sorry for my lack of PM replies. I don't get on MBWorld very often. I've got a link to a Google Drive album of pics. If you'd like see any other particular parts of the car that aren't pictured, let me know. Thanks again for your interest, everyone!
I am in the Chicagoland area.
