Quickest & Fastest Stock E55 FOR SALE!

That's right guys. I am looking at moving to a TT12. While I wait for the dealer to contact me, I thought I would post on the board to see if anyone is interested.

Car has 13,800 miles. Garage-kept and in perfect shape but for a tiny bit of curb rash on the passenger side rear wheel. Non-smoker. Replaced rear tires with 275/35 PS2's two months ago. Front tires are still in great shape because I don't ever turn the wheel.

The car has navigation (bought the latest DVD last month), a CD-changer (who uses those anymore, btw?) and an electronic trunk closer. No pano roof, which is among the reasons that it holds the current 1/4 mile record. It also has a built in Escort SRX radar detector/laser diffuser with the display/head unit built into the ashtray so it can easily be hidden from sight.

Factory warranty is up in August, 2008. I was quoted $2,200 by AAA for their platinum aftermarket warranty, which is transferable.

My view is that I would rather sell it to someone who knows what they are getting if the price is worth the time, effort and tax savings of doing a private sale.

Please PM me with questions/comments. Thanks.

I saw and studied this car in person. It was in great condition. This car is a legend so whoever gets it is one lucky customer. Good luck with the sale Lorenzo.

None posted. I just decided yesterday to sell it. Here are some pics from last April. I will take some more if I can over the weekend.

BTW - those are pictures of the idler pulley that the dealer replaced under warranty this summer because it was rubbing the belt. The car was never modified.

If you were selling it a few month back, I would've bought in a heart beat before I bought my car This car is a record breaker guys. Whoever is in the market for an E55, this is the quickest, fastest, and one of the best conditioned E55 yet

Enzom, have you considered the W220 S65 (previous body style) yet? It is much cheaper than the SL65 and almost as fast. Or maybe CL65?

I wasn't even looking for the CL600 until it popped up on autotrader. I was looking for a CL65 and did not find anything decent in my area. I really never gave much thought to the S65 because I still consider myself too young for such a big car. I am in no rush to grow up. (No offense to any S65/S600 owners).

Come on guys; enough with the "retirement party sounding" compliments to Enzo's car. Now that he is retiring it, he will never have the chance to test it against the ONLY BLOOD RED MAROON E55 on the PLANET !!!!!!

Still For Sale

Guys - Car is still for sale. It has 15,200 miles. Initial warranty is going to expire in late August, but I am extending the MBUSA factory warranty fo cover 7 years or 75,000 from the initial in-service date. It won't be cheap, but I would rather not deal with third-party warranties.

We are in the midst of planning to build a new home, so the car is going to wind up sitting covered for months. I'd rather sell it.

PM me for details.

Too late for that, After I gave him a ride in it, I think he might have fallen in love. If I give you a ride in it now...you will definitely buy one. Got 19's instead of 20's with a nice cooling upgrade...world of a difference.

Not that I don't love it, but a baby on the way plus a house to be built means my financial priorities have shifted somewhat. And suddenly
