FS: 2005 Designo E55 Estate Graphite/Charcoal
After 4 splendid years with this car, I am putting it up for sale. I had a little bit of buyer's remorse as a result of my garage situation right after purchase in 2011, but the car quickly won me over. With 2 kids now, I am not willing to put this car through soccer dad duties. Its just too special.
Asking $28,000
VIN: WDBUH76J05A753207
Mileage: 110,500
Here is my initial thread when I contemplated selling after purchase:
https://mbworld.org/forums/mercedes-...condition.html
This is 1 of 196 E55 Wagons imported in 2005 and 2006 and rumored to be 1 of 5 Designo cars. Its in as close to immaculate condition as you will find for a E55 Wagon, inside and out. The search for this car consumed my life for a few months but it was well worth it. The car was in outstanding condition when I bought it (CPO ended in 2012 soon after I bought it) and has enjoyed an open checkbook since. Oil service performed every 5,000 miles and the car has been handwashed at least weekly. All receipts for maintenance work completed are available. Title in hand.
Factory Specs:
Production date 2/3/05, first retail date 3/31/05
-Designo Graphite (041) Exterior
-Charcoal (251) Leather Interior
-Poplar Designo Brown dash trim

Maintenance:
New fuel pump
Cracked OEM headers were replaced with new OEM headers
Replaced transmission and engine mounts with OEM mounts
New winter tires
Rebuilt front wheel bearings
Fuel sender replaced with updated OEM units to prevent leaking (common W211 problem)
Replaced gear shift linkage with OEM unit due to keyless go wire prone to breaking (common w211 problem)
4-Wheel alignment
Faulty Keyless Go Handles replaced
Supercharger belt replaced
New spark plugs
New battery
New front ball joints
New rear main seal
New front and rear brakes
New driver's side mirror glass - replaced due to delamination (common W211 problem)
The car needs nothing. Everything works as intended. I welcome inspection by a Mercedes dealer or competent indy shop at buyer's expense. The car is being driven occasionally so mileage may vary.
I just had the car serviced at Mercedes Benz of Boston and it has received a clean bill of health. The fuel pump was sticking so I had it replaced. Between that and the senders replaced under goodwill, the whole fuel system has been replaced essentially. The car also got its scheduled oil service and is ready to go.

Thanks a lot. Love your stable! I hope to pick up a w212 wagon in a few years.
Good eye on the grille. I am not a big fan of how the distronic grille looks so when my original one started looking a little pitted, I decided to replace it with an oem non-distronic one. Functionality is exactly the same. This can be changed out for the original at a buyers request.

Nice ride, but I'm of the opposite mentality - the AMG wagon is IMO one of the best family duty high performance rides out there. The 3rd row seats is icing on the cake and my kids love it back there for short trips. Since the W211 is the last AMG wagon that included 3rd row seats in stock form, I don't plan on letting it go anytime soon.
