Typing with (sniff) tears...how much do you think I could get for my E55
Man guys, just too much going on to talk about.....but may be liquidating assets soon and you know what is first to go.
Here is what I have .......NOT SELLING YET...but wanted to ask what you guys thought I could get for it.
Sniff....thanks for any help.
2003 E55 23K Still under warranty til Nov 06.
Panoramic
Xenon with headlight washers
Heated Seats
Charcoal with birds maple
Power Trunk
Parktronic
Keyless Go
No Distron....No Nav
Kleemann Stage 2 (Headers Pulleys ECU) installed by the masters
LSD and High Flow water pump also installed by Cory

I would rate the car in excellent condition. *****, I only get to drive it once a week....(home business and sick wife)

Sorry to hear about your situation.
I am not sure what your car is worth in this market, but if I had to guess, I would say $65K. Unless you find someone specifically looking for the Kleemann mods and he/she can appreciate what they cost, I dont think they will increase the value of your car by much.
I would almost say to think about returning the car to stock and selling off the parts. It might net you more money in the end.
I hope everything works out for you. I'm pulling for you!

Wow, sorry to hear about this. I'm sure if you trade you'll get doinked. Hopefully you can find someone who sees the value in the mods you've done, and the low mileage, and will give you a reasonable and fair price. What were you thinking - high 60's or low 70's? I really don't have a clue how our cars are valued. What's that thing dyno at? Good luck to you, and I hope things turn around and you can keep the Beast!

Cool...thanks for the info....just wanted to make sure I wasn't too upside down on my loan.....I may lose a little, but at least you guys weren't coming back with 50's....
Thanks again for the kind words. Let's hope this was all for nothing. I love this car and it would really break my heart to let it go.
You guys are the best!

Hey Jim, I've seen 2003s selling in the mid $60s out here in CA but these cars are only average condition. You need to find a buyer that appreciates the mods. $70K should not be unreasonable.
Praying for you, pal. I hope all turns out for the best.

Damn Jim, hope you don't have to sell!
As others have mentioned, sometimes mods don't bring any value
Your best bet would be selling the car as stock and parting out the mods.
Good luck!
PS - I sent you a PM.

I agree with others that your best bet would be to return the car to stock and part out the parts separately, or it would be in your best interest to find someone that truly appreciate the potential of the KLEEMANNized beast.
