It looks like it is (2003 Tectite,Carbon, Nav, Distronic, lit door sills, stitching on door leather, etc.) however the carbon door on the ash tray should have an AMG seal under the clear coat. This is a long shot there was a presidents edition in Arizona (I think) it had to have it's entire interior replaced after vandalism. The dealer used all but three of the CF pieces. I got one of the center console flippers which was not used. When a CF part needs replaced, AMG charges the dealer $12K to reproduce and the entire kit has to be purchased. I wonder if the ashtray door was replaced without a seal?




If you call the dealer with your VIN they can pull the options sheet for your car. There is an Option for President's Edition if it has the option there you go.

I totally forgot about that... My Keyless go knob is from an SL made by MP Design. I totally forgot that I added that to the car.

Thank you for the information. I will check MB in Arizona because this car was first sold in Arizona. Car fax had no mention of vandalism. This could be the reason i got the the at such a good price. The car is in beautiful shape and runs great. I have owned it for the last 4 months.

I thought the President's edition had red seats?

Well there are a number of Merc dealers in AZ. I would start with Scottsdale. It sounds like the details are adding up in your favor. If you can find the dealer that did the repairs they should have the service history with detailed info as to what was replaced. Like I said they paid $12K for the Carbon pieces alone and I know it took them about 3 months to get them. You bought the car at a great price because over the past couple of years the price of E55's has sunk like a brick in water. I was in a similar situation the Dealer I purchased my car from did not have any clue about the presidents edition. I paid the average price of an E55 at the time really no premium. The dealer can also pull up the original sticker price for the car which ends up being about $98K.

Just talked to Chandler MB in Arizona and they were very little help. The lady i first talked to said that she could not give me any maintiance information on the car because of a privacy act. I said ok can you tell me at what options the car had on it when it was order an she said that she had to transfer me to sales. Talk to the guy in sales he read off all options and said no mention of President Edition. He said he never hear of such opition. So i told him thanks for the information and left it at that. Thanks for the information you guys gave me. It really dosnt matter if it is a Presidents Edition or not . The car is awsome and it will be in the family for a long time.
