Due to multiple items currently occurring I am exploring selling my 2002 E55.
Silver exterior with black interior
Purchased the car in November 08 with 13,800 miles from carmax
Car has 30,700 miles (will increase as drive daily apprx 10 miles per day)
Car has every option except Designo (navi (have disks from 2008), cooled and heated seats, parktronic, plus all standard AMG options)
3 sets of rims and tires, SL500 sport wheels with yokohama tires approx 5000 miles on car, oz wheels with blizzack snow tires with approx 500 miles, original AMG rims with Kuhmo tires with approx 10K miles.
Have original mats plus all season mats, added burlwood shift handle with AMG logo, bluetooth puck for phone, aluminum door pin locks, AMG pedals, and car cover.

All maintenance has been kept up to date to exact standards by mercedes dealer, records can be seen at any mercedes dealer (this includes already having all fluids flushed and replaced including transmission fluid, sparkplugs replaced last year, new battery last month, also had rubberized coating put around springs where these are prone to rust and replaced brake lines with stainless ones)

And last but not least i have a transferable warranty good through 11/14 that is bumper to bumper. Warranty is awesome, i had the rear sunshade and cup holder replaced under this warranty which had a cost from mercedes of about 2400 for parts and labor and all i paid was 100 deduct. There is a transfer fee of i believe 50 for this.

There is one accident on file which was from a hit and run driver (less than 10 miles an hour, just irritated me that the person took off) which left some scratches on the rear bumper.

Thinking of asking 18,500 obo... is that a fair price?

$18,500 is not very realistic price even low mileage IMO. $16K will take some time to sell, for quick sell $12K to $13K. Again, this is my opinion. Good luck.

Strigoi

I agree about $18,500 being on the high side.

I recently thought about selling mine but realized I'd only get maybe $10,000 for it if I was lucky (KBB shows around $13,000 for it). The market isn't very good for these cars right now. It's tanked in the year since I bought mine (at least around here).

Thanks for the replies, maybe i will just sell it back to carmax (they offered 13,500 for it) and then sell off the extras and cancel the warranty. Sounds like I will get a quicker result and more money in the long run splitting everything out

CharlyE500

If Carmax take your car for $13,500 Go for it ! Its great price as trade in.

Maybe pm him
I'm about to make offer right now on it lol

Blcksvt

THanks for the interest, was able to sell today for 17,500 as a complete package to a person I work with and who knows how i hae maintained the car, now I dont have to go through hassle of splitting all the items out individually

MBFLO

Man that's great
Good that it's goin to somone you know and will enjoy it

Jeru55

Congrats. Thanks for the info

vincentie

Goes to show maybee not everybody is on point with the worth of these cars on these forums! Congrats on the sale!!

Peter_02AMG

Congrats on the sale!! I wonder who the sucker that paid 17,500 for a 10 year of car.

CharlyE500

Exactly what i thought........ no way anybody will pay that money for that car so i call it BS !

Nachtsturm

I would have paid 17,500 for that car in a heart beat.

With low mileage examples it does not go by the traditional market value. Chances of finding another are super slim. A premium is a must for the low mileage examples.

Would not call the guy a sucker at all. I bought my 01 CLK55 with 37k on it, and my 01 ML55 with 36k on it. Just because they are older doesn't make them worthless.

12K car for that car is just rediculous and it shows if carmax was offering 13.5K wholesale

Afew years ago, my friend sold his mint 2002 E55 AMG wagon with 27k miles on it for 30k.

MBFLO

It is what it is ,, always somone out there who might pay what your asking and someone who wont give you half of that ..

I paid 8 grand for a 100K mile cpo'd E55 .. Id rather buy another one with 100K miles again for 8K then pay 16k for one with 30K miles but thats just me personally

CharlyE500

+1 i would never pay that money for low mileage car. You still have to put about the same amount of repair or maintenance since its 10 years old car. Like brake fluid, tanny oil, radiator water.... after 10 years you still need to flush them. Even for the spark plugs, you better change it or it will be very hard to remove. Same thing apply for tires and battery. For $16K I can find $10K E55 and add Supercharge.

CharlyE500

Oh..... I miss read. Not $16k its $17,500 ! You can actually pick up a W211 for $17,500.

MBFLO

Id be weary of tyhat 17K w211 even though Id rock it till the wheels fell off lol

this guys asking price is reasonable

CharlyE500

That 99 white E55 is just not my taste. I won't pay more than $10K since its pre- facelift.

desired_speeds

that black 03 has been up for a while. I actually considered it for a second before I bought my w211. It looks absolutely spotless and $17,500 is beyond reasonable.

Nachtsturm

That's where we differ, if it had a 100k on it I wouldn't even consider it.

JamE55

Just out of curiousity how much do you think an 02 w/ about 18k mint cond plus mods would go for?

Nachtsturm

I would have to dig into it, but if it a wagon and silver I am interested.

Chappy

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
