A good friend of mine’s wife passed away and they want to sell her 2005 E55 with only 3,500 miles on it.

Silver on Charcoal – All options (really ALL!) pano, dynamic seats, phone, park, distr, etc except Sirius which can be easily added.

Sticker was around $98K

Car is perfect and as NEW. And is in San Francisco.

Anyone interested? What can we expect to get for it and where should I advertise it?

Thanks
David

why would he pay 114k? or is that a typo? you might be able to get 78-80k for it....

I just bought a star mark certified 2005 E55 1500 miles with a MSRP of $96K for $72,500 with the 100K mile warranty. I hope this helps.

not a typo - he paid sticker + tax (8.25%) + gas guzzler and licensing!

welcome to california!

good luck on the sale...

if they plan to sell it under $75k... let us know...

I will take it from their hands.


80 and 90k would be more realistic.

anyone interested at 82.5?

2004 Wholesale prices are in the mid to high $50K. Most dealers would give you high $50K to low $60K for a 2004 trade in. A few forum members have sold 03's in the $50K's.

It seems that these cars are taking a bigger hit recently

Spero, did you replace you E55 yet? Not easy to find a worthy replacement for the brute?

Sorry to hear about your friend's loss.
The low miles help a bit, but right now seems to be a bad time for E55 folks. I have a feeling that that the market will eventually pick up or, at least stabilize, once more and more people realize the potential of the 55 Kompressor engines, but with the CLS cannibalizing sales and the E63 around the corner, the market is very soft. I bought mine used, thinking the hit would not be as bad, but with the values dropping like a rock, it didn't make as big a difference as I had hoped.

My head is spinning with what dealers are offering me on trade for a 997 S. I'm sure if I waited I'd find someone who would want a Kleemann modded car with some other goodies. But, I'm impulsive and want what I want, when I want it LOL. So, I'm taking a pounding. I think I've finally realized that even though I always say "this one's a keeper, and i'm keeping it for a long time" just doesn't work for me. I get bored too easily. And two, modding is insane for someone like me. Expensive lesson learned.

So someone please slap me if in six months i'm talking about slapping a supercharger on the P-car!!

Don't do it.....You'll be sorry. Keep the Benz for the family car and get a modable 2 seater to play with. That's why I'm a Vette lover. A P car is a completely different experience and like my Vette is very tiring over the long haul. I can't take my Vette in very large doses anymore. I love to get back into the luxury and comfort of my E55.

Already have another family car, 997 will just be a toy.
