W220 S55

There is a 2004 w220 S55 on Bring A Trailer that ends tomorrow afternoon. What thoughts does anyone have about it? I’m considering it as I already have a SL55 and a G55. I really like the m113K engine.

FORTY GRAND?!?!?!?!

That can't be right for a 2004. Really really good ones are 15K. Unless it was Sophia Loren's personal car, always garaged, maintained by M-B themselves, and had less than a 1000 miles on it, there's no way that price is right!

Gene's correct, the car only had 16k miles.

Buy the odometer, car comes free… lots of that going around on BaT these days. Check the E46M coupe 6MT… one sold for damned near $80k the other day. And that was NEVER an Eighty Thousand Dollar car. Never!! Might be some day, sure. But as of today and any day before today, nah…

For comparison… https://thembmarket.com/2005-mercede...aphite-edition

I’ll take @8899 car every day of the week and twice on Sunday, spec and care wise. But odometer is like literal depreciation in some ways.
