Rare. I've searched for over a month for the AMG to fit my liking (not going to settle for just anyone), and I've only seen a handful (about 3) blue ones EVER for sale. Interestingly, there is a blue one for sale at a local CarMax dealership.

Any abnormal serviced items or other non-normal wear parts replaced? Other than that, that year, that mileage should be going for about $25k from what I've researched, or less.

I would only worry about reoccurring issues that were never resolved or unusual issues (major electrical complaints, etc. At 72K it would be great hear that the tranny failed and was replaced at 40 or 50K.

E55 AMG
I paid 24500 for mine. With just a couple normal little scratches and 47k miles.

Keep in mind when you are parking the vehicle that it is LOW

I will be doing a front end conversion.

I got a Tanzanite Blue. With very little options.

I wasn't even looking for an E55.

Considering the extras add about $2000 to the base price all in all I'd say not bad. About $20-21k for the car, not bad at all.
