2006 E55 / 1987 PORSCHE 930 / 2007 C230 / 2008 C350 / 2014 Silverado High Country
2006 E55 AMG

Purchased this E55 on 2/18/2017 from AutoNation Chrysler Savannah.

Found out earlier this week daughter was accepted to Mississippi State University, her 1st choice! This will leave us with 2 daughters in college next fall, and I will turn 55 years old next month. That said, I've got to unload The Beast.

Today, I went to sell it to CarMax and received their offer of $9,000 which is good for 7 days, until 4/13/2017. Before accepting their low offer, I want to first offer it to those who know what it is. I am asking $12K or best offer.

2006 E55 AMG
VIN: WDBUF76J46A855925
Mileage: 121,718
Price: $12K obo

Thank you.

Nice. If I didn't already have one (with the same mileage, also) I would be making you an offer...maybe my spousal unit will want one that matches mine. :-)

BAD NEWS...

Was driving late last night and received the following message: "ESP MALFUNCTION - VISIT WORKSHOP"
Car went to limp mode. I pulled over, turned it off and restarted it. Did not reoccur, but drove 5 miles, straight home. Research shows possible faults are speed sensor, steering sensor, crank pulley, supercharger belt and who knows. I'm sure my indy Mercedes expert will know the issue and resolution. So for now, I have taken the car off the market until this is addressed and resolved.

I'm disappointed, but so glad this happened before selling the car.

Thanks,
Carl

What a clean E55!!! Agreed that i love that redish tint to the seats\doors to break up the black.

I really wish I was in the market for an E55! Good luck with the sale.

I think this was the same problem I had with my c32. Wish I could've replied to you earlier. Mines had the same problem with the limp mode and everything. Went to several mechanics and they codling figure out the problem. I went home and started to mess with everything under the hood but nothing. Then I spotted a sensor next to or in the supercharger, forgot the exact location. I removed it (was covered in oil) cleaned it with electric contact clean and boom the car was pulling like normal again and no limp mode!
