For sale 2005 E55 AMG

Located in Allentown, PA

Reason for selling: I don't drive it enough. I only put 3k miles on this car in 1.5 years so I can't justify keeping it.

At this time I am 100% firm on the price. I don't have to sell the car, so please don't ask if I'll go lower.

This fully loaded platinum blue metallic E55 is in excellent condition. It has been well maintained and well taken care of. This car was just brought to the NorthEast a few years, the rest of its life has been spent in south Florida. It has not seen the salt of the north east! The previous owner stored the car all winter and I didn't even drive it in the rain, let alone snow/salt!

Currentl mileage: 70k, professionally detailed less than 100 miles ago.

Options:
-Charcoal and Blue leather interior
-Panoramic roof (only known issue with the car is the pano roof is finicky so I don't open it)
-Power rear sun shade
-Rear door sun shades
-Keyless go (both keys included)
-Front and Rear parking sensors
-Driver dynamic seating for driver and passenger seats
-Ventilated and Heated seats
-6 disc in dash CD changer
-Navigation
-Satalite radio
-Power trunk open/close
-Integrated Mercedes Benz phone
-Active BiXenon headlights
-Tire pressure monitor (deactivated for 20" wheels)

Minor modifications:
-Renntech lowering module
-Vossen CV-7 wheels 20x9 front 20x10.5 rear
-All windows except windshield are tinted
-Head lights and fog lights tinted
-Flat black grill
-Smaller supercharger pulley
-Eurocharged ECU tune
-Eurocharged TCU tune

Only known issue with the car is the pano roof doesn't open/close consistently. I just didn't open it while I've owned the car to avoid being stuck with it open. EuroCharged did a write up on fixing this common issue on MBWorld if you're so inclined.

Other than the pano roof issue, this car is ready to go anywhere you want. Everything else works exactly as it should. No leaks anywhere and enough power to put it in the ridiculous category.

Car was just professionally detailed.

Recent maintenance done at 68,550 miles:
16 new NGK spark plugs (one step colder than OEM)
16 new OEM spark plug wires
Both valve cover gaskets (OEM) and resealed the valve cover breather covers
New TCU connector (most recent version, previous revisions are known to leak)
Main battery replaced (located in trunk)
Oil changed with Mobil 1 full synthetic 0w-40, OEM oil filter and 2 new OEM drain plugs

Recent maintenance done at 67k miles:
Nitto Invo tires (still like new)
OEM front rotors and Akebono pads

Vossen 20" wheels are in near mint condition with only 2 scratches, both of which have been touched up and go unnoticed unless you're really looking for them.

I have the parts to put the car back to stock if that is the way it is wanted.

Transaction details - PLEASE READ: The only form of payment I will accept is a Cashier's check. If you decide to buy the car, we will go to a local branch of your bank, and get the Cashier's check, I'll hand you the title, we'll then drive to my bank and deposit the Cashier's check and then go to the notary to transfer the title to your name. I apologize if this is inconvenient but I need to make sure this transaction is legitimate and safe for both of us. Additionally, since this is an extremely powerful car, I will be glad to take you on as long of a test-drive as you'd like but I will drive. I've been on my fair share of scary test-drives in far less powerful vehicles and I'm not willing to risk my life with a stranger that wants to "see what she can do". I have no objections to showing you how the car performs and I'm sure we can find a place to safely do that.

PM me if interested and I'll try to provide my phone number same day.

*****More pictures embedded below. The pictures on pavement are from the previous owner about 1.5 years ago. Condition has not changed in the past 3k miles. The pictures on grass were taken by me on 5/25/16. The color is more accurate in the pictures on grass taken by me recently. The previous owner's phone camera made the color look more blue than it is in my opinion.*****

 

good luck! really nice E55 and a color I have never seen!

 

Thanks. I just updated the Google Photos link to use a tinyurl and also uploaded some of the pictures I took on 5/25/16. If anyone is interested in the car I'd highly suggest you follow the Google Photos link and look at all 70 pictures in high resolution.

One caveat, some big companies don't like tinyurl redirects. Mine doesn't...it works fine at home but gets blocked at work for me.

 

Who buys a used car they can't test drive?

 

Nice car. GLWS. How do you plan on duplicating the driving experience for the buyer. Driving a car one can get way more feedback than riding as a passenger.

 

I've purchased 3 AMG's out of state, essentially sight unseen. It's almost more exciting when the shipper delivers it and then you get to drive it for the first time. Never disappoints.

 

Thats pretty impressive. Nice car. Again glws

 

just wondering if those were from dealerships or private parties?

 

you should totally sell me ur wheels....

 

To answer the test drive questions, when I bought the car, the seller drove, I did not and I didn't feel the need to. It's extremely clean and clearly well taken care of.

There is no question whether it does what it's supposed to do whether you're the passenger or the driver when that freight train punches you in the back as the accelerator gets mashed

MY 55 deal was done completely online and car was shipped from Denver to the Bay Area (MB Dealership guaranteed the car)
and my 63 wagon too was done completely online and the owner picked me up at the airport in SD and i drove it home

i was a kid with a new toy - LITERALLY!!!!

 

If anyone is interested, I'd consider throwing in an FTP intercooler heat exchanger and a Dad's trunk tank to sweeten the deal. Both brand new, never installed.

 

I also have the Eurocharged ECU flash cable, which goes with the car, and as I menioned above I have the parts to put the car back to original if desired, including the original wheels.

 

Lowering price to $19k. I can't edit the original post any more so hopefully people see this

 

bump for cleanliness

 

Sold. Thanks MBWorld!
