F/S: High Mileage 2003 e55 AMG

As the title states. I have almost every receipt/record since I've owned the car. I bought the car with the cams/intake/HE/Crank pulley. Everything else besides the Stereo was done by me. And If I don't have a receipt on hand, I can easily obtain one.

I used to drive 70+miles a day for work. I've had the car for a little over a year. The only reason i'm selling is because I want a platform thats easier to go fast on. Switching over to a c6z/ctsv. The mileage might go up a tad, but it won't be driven to work anymore.

The price is OBO! I can't stress that enough. If you want to make it cheaper, I can remove parts. I will also knock off $1500 if you don't want the RPF1s. I have some OK 20s I can include. They are in fine shape, its just a replacement wheel must have been needed, and 1 wheel doesn't really "match" the others. It has a different spoke design.

Clean title, Clean carfax. If anyone wants the VIN let me know!

**Car is located in Michigan**

I have a walk around video of the car as well. Thanks!

So far I've just been beatin up on the price. Honestly I'd love to just sell everything for 15k. The car needs little things here and there, but then again im extremely **** about the car. For the age id rate the paint a little better than what I have listed.

Yup and you part it out it costs you time ($) and takes aay how it is performing which is a big reason to buy it. What an awesome mod list!

it might take someone familiar with e55's who can appreciate what it is and the fact anything and everything that can go wrong has been done.

The commin denomiator is alway price as people don't know how to buy based in value and I bet 9/10 who offer lowball don't have the $....

Again, great car!

Keep it, these days it's not worth selling these cars if the motor is running well and car has no gremlins. Good examples of these cars are becoming scarce. Keep it

So here are some folks saying "don't sell". For all it matters...

It will take a s/c c6z to 130+ to pass YOU from a dig or low speed roll on the street (especially if they don't have d/r's). But, when they go around you they will go AROUND YOU (if you know what I am saying) and have a crazy top end.

CT-V's can be monsters but the E is very respectable with them from a roll to crazy's speeds. I ran a 615 RWHP one from 40-100 and it was even with the V starting to pull very slowly.

I know first hand tied to a "private event" I was at with both cars.

All this doesn't matter, though. My guess is you want something new so feed the need!

Wow very well put together car, great mod and maintenance list and great price. If you decide to part the car out or have a buyer that doesn't want some of those parts I'm very interested. I live in Chicago and will drive down to pick them up especially the headlights, lip, throttle body, and possibly headers.

There are 2 heads/cam/intake c6zs here that trap 135+

I've raced tons of cars in this car. I also raced a 660whp ctsv and I got 2 car lengths and the hit and he still walked me hard. I'm sorry but without some serious modification you just can't get the same results.

Great deal!

Actually like the wheels. They weigh almost half compared to the stock wheels, that must be noticable driving it.

Bump. No one in the Michigan/Midwest area needs a fast e55? Fresh plugs and oil change as well.

It is not. Wondering why its flagged. Making a new one now. BTW I have TONS of pictures and a video, etc. of the car. Willing to answer any and all questions. Will take $14,000 without the RPF1 setup. Lot of car for the money. Thing rips.

I want to find a way to get this from you, but I wasn't planning on trying to get myself into a E55 for another year.

Bank gives loans out every day.

Bump again. 14k the way it sits. With the extra set of 20s. Just changed the oil, and all 16 spark plugs.

Nice to see it aint flagged anymore. She's a ripper. Man cars are so cheap in the US compared to Australia. That's gotta be 45-50 grand here. Anyway thought she could do with a bump...

EDIT: Just noticed you posted at the same time so didn't need a bump after all, but nice read on Craigslist anyway...
