I would have bought this car a couple months ago at this price but the day I was at the dyno when I saw the seller, it wasn't for sale. So...I bought the other E55 at the dyno that day, lol.

This car is a great car, makes crazy power, has all the sweet mods. I'm the kind of buyer who wants a fun car out of the box if it has good mods then YES its worth more to me. Good luck with the sale!

I would rather buy a modded car myself, it is alot cheaper than paying for mods yourself as long as they are done correctly.

+1 on this. I would rather pick up a car that is modded and priced around or a bit higher than a non modded car.

I wished i didn't buy my car last year at this time. I could be in a E55AMG instead!!!!!

X 10, It's way cheaper. 30K sounds like a good price to me. Hold firm on your price, try ebay, autotrader, cars.com, etc...I tried to sell my CL65 in here (classifieds section) while I got a bunch of lowball offers and a whole bag of negativity, listed her on Ebay for 1 month sold with no issues at MY asking price. Still keep in contact with buyer and bought him a 3 year warranty. He has never looked back.

His wife crazy
The car looks great, the right buyer will come along and pay close to what you are asking. I have no problem with buying a well modded car.

High 20s, maybe. Mods are cool but don't increase the value of your car. You might get lucky and find a buyer who is willing to give you 10-20 percent more for it over a stock car. Sticking 20k wheels on it doesn't make it a 50k car.

I've said in a few other threads that I am not a fan of silver but man, this is one sweet E55! I wish I was ready to buy, I might have to convert to silver.

no rubbing at all. The tires did touch on an extreme bump...but that was it and only when the tires were new (for about a week) and there was a little raised portion on the tire that went away quickly...and it was only on the passengers side for whatever reason...

Alltrac,

Just trying to give you an example. Your car is badass and you've done some cool things to it. But, at the end of the day it's still a mid to high 20s car with however much money you have in it on the mods. I personally wouldn't buy a modded car but hopefully you will find someone who will. Good luck bro.
