FYI - 2005 E55 w/every option, DFW craigslist

Ran across this while I should have been working Strictly FYI, I don't know the car, the owner, or anything.

2005 E55 w/66K, appears to have every available option including: distronic, parktronic, pano, side and rear window sunshade, xenon, nav, TPS, active/ventilated seats, keyless go, light burl wood, etc. I guess they didn't find the 6-disc changer, but I bet it's there!

If it was a designo car, wouldn't it have two color seat inserts?

This car is just exactly as mine, same color, same option and same year.
But $34K is way too high. This car does not worth around $28K to $30K

Really? I like it a lot better than the dark wood. Makes the interior less somber.

I emailed the seller, it does have the CD changer.

I agree with Charly - upper $20s to maybe $30K. Just thought it was an interesting car, you don't see many with everything. Mine is the opposite - it has nothing! (Well, except that it's newer, half the miles, CPO, under warranty, and cost less...)

I'm a little colorblind, so subtle shades often look like other colors to me. That being said, that wood looks like it has a reddish tint that I don't think goes with our interiors.

No reddish tint - burl walnut - definitely brown; I personally prefer the CF interior over either

No Solar Panels (I know not avail on this year)... Other than that and the color (Designo ), and the distronic, its like mine too!

$29K is about right...

I've not seen it either - I work in Richardson too. I have seen silver and black E55 cars, and more 63s than I can count. It's at one of those little dealers of used upscale cars in Richardson, so maybe he bought it at auction and it's not local...

Dredging this thread back up from the dead...

I was browsing ebay yesterday - every once in a while I take a look to see at what price E55 cars sell. I swear, half the cars on ebay are in Dallas. There were auctions for cars in Plano, Addision, Dallas, Grand Prairie. And that's not counting the original car in this thread, which is Richardson. Is there anywhere with more of these things?
