I'm thinking about selling my car. The only reason for it is I'm looking at a major boat upgrade. I think I might have found something I "need to have" that just might check all the "want" and "family need" boxes, so if possible, freeing money will ease the blow. Don't take it as it's needed or necessary, but it would be optimum.
Car is 100% stock "unmolested" with 80,060 miles (will rise slightly when the weather is nice). I drive my other vehicle 90% of the time, so this stays in the garage. I am located in New England but this vehicle is a southern vehicle and a garaged northern vehicle. Inspection on a lift will back that statement up.
The car is extremely clean with lower miles. It's a 2006, so it has the goodies we all want in an E55. Color is Alabaster White over black interior. No dents, scratches, paint is awesome, chrome is awesome, no interior wear to speak of. Navigation works, bluetooth works, satellite radio works, dynamic seats work, suspension works properly... you get the picture. No things wrong or warnings. I have a 3-ring binder of service records.
Some details:
Adaptive headlights (lighting package)
Dynamic seats
Keyless go
Burl walnut trim
Electric trunk closer
Sirius satellite radio
Bluetooth package
Navigation
Heated/cooled seats
Recent maintenance (within last 3K):
Oil/filter, transmission check (has been serviced by MB as well), new air filters, new serpentine, new SC belt (gates green HD as recommended on here), new wipers, new rear rotors (originals had a ridge, didn't like that), and all new brake pads. I have sixteen (16) factory spark plugs waiting to be changed this time around the next time she goes for oil/filter (done at 5K miles, so in 2K miles this will be done). I'll give the new spark plugs to the next owner if they are not installed by that time.
The car is not for sale locally to the public yet. I'd like it to go to another enthusiast, if possible, since it's mint - that's why I'm putting it up on here. I haven't decided whether I'll list it locally yet, but I'll update here if I do.
It's been suggested to me that this would be a reasonable offering at $17,000 due to year, options, condition, and mileage. The title is clean, and I own the car. As with selling anything, I'm open to offers.
If someone is interested, feel free to post in this thread or send me a PM and I'll send my phone number so we can chat. I realize the photos below are awful (and embarrassing due to my mess of a garage) but it's all I have for now. I can try to take some this weekend unless someone needs them ASAP (in that case, send me a PM).
Well, that was quick. I have agreed to sell to a forum member last night. Glad to have this car go to another enthusiast; they're getting a good one.
To answer the question I've been asked a couple times, no I am not holding a deposit, but flights were booked so I consider that sufficient to hold the car until the weekend.
Thanks to all who contacted me and showed interest. If anything should happen where the buyer does not take the car, I will update this thread and get back to all of you who PMed me.
