# Of 55 Wagons

How many did they bring in to the USA in 2005? I have read less than 100. Is this correct?
Thanks
David

Glad I got one.

US production numbers. Sorry I was a little unclear!

About the only thing rarer is an '06 CL65 - only 52 of those puppies loose in the States.....(don't know about SLR tho)

anyone on whether that incl. Canadian cars?

They are impossible to find up here... More than likely if I end up buying one I'll have to ship it from the U.S.

When I was looking for one about a month ago, the supply was pretty small! I wanted black and my choice was Virginia or Oregon.

I flew to Virginia and drove that one home. Left two days later for a 2,500 mile road trip.

4,500 miles in its first three weeks!

Love this thing

There's an 06 in my garage.... Didn't realize it was that rare. it's intersting that something this rare has been written up so often in the magazines.

it's a phenomenal car that does many things well. And - no one expects to be dusted by a wagon. In fact - it's ususally impossible to even get anyone to take the bait.

Sigh.

Maybe it's a bit too stealth?

Nah....

Speaking of rare, when I went to the local MB dealership in Milwaukee for the first time two or three salesmen came out and gawked at the car. One even mentioned having seen several SLR's while working there, but he thought he would never see one of these....

How funny that there are so few. Yet I would have to guess that 15% of the ownership is on the forum.

Yours is the only E55 wagon I have ever seen on the road. I also saw one at MBUSA HQ in NJ. I've seen a E63 wagon on a flatbed before too.

Keep in mind that is yearly production. Some of the late 05's are actually 06's based on what month they change the line from 05 to 06. usually in late aug. early sept.

I just saw that the R63 (and R500) are no more.

I've never seen another E55 wagon either. First time I EVER saw one was when I flew to Virginia and picked mine up.

Leap of faith

I saw one in Maui of all places not too long after I bought my car but then again I also saw Gov. Ah-nald, Rosanna Arquette, and Joe Montana there dining at a poolside restaurant (all at different tables) so maybe I shouldn't be that surprised...

I've seen an R63, Those are rare b/c they're weak sauce. Its 1) ugly 2) comprabably slow.

I think they are maybe 10 - 15 V8K wagons in all of Canada.

I drive a E55T, SLK55 and 65 Mustang Conv.
Wolf went to a car stereo place just after we got our wagon and they had Heidi Klum's up on the rack installing a V1 in it. That is the only time either of us had ever seem another.
