05' E55 - 22' Jailbreak Hellcat OTW
First Benz, 2005 E55

My first Benz, I love this car.

I've been a lurker on this forum for a while and finally found my beast. Heli217 was the previous owner and I could not have found a better person to deal with. A stand up guy!

This forum is excellent and I appreciate the wealth of knowledge on these incredible cars!

Nice ride, I think that was a members car. I remember it for sale. What miles and what did you pay?


**EDIT** Just saw you purchased it from Heli. That is a nice one. He seemed pretty ****.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Between Guido building her and Heli hooking her up, I think it's gonna be a sweet ride.

emoving, I got her with 31k miles and I paid more than I wanted to, but still feel like I got a great deal from an excellent guy. I looked at quite a few 55s, and this one blew the others out of the water.

Viren, I like the dip on your car. In fact, I'm about to dip my 85' CRX white. As for my 55, only wax for right now

It looks absolutely mint and with 31k miles...you must have paid $32k plus? Another guy asked and you didn't say but I am curious because I am looking for one hard...I posted a thread to find one here in NY that isn't a POS. Anyway, would love to know and the car looks incredible!!! Congrats!

Thanks Bud!

The problem with buying cars like these is that you really have to sit around a while and wait for the right one to pop up. I looked for a lonnnnng time and never even came close to what I was looking for until I found this one. This forum is where I found my car so you are in the right place for sure.

Best of luck on the Hunt!

I am trying to wait as long as possible but the winter is here and I am getting bored fast...haven't had a cool or fast car in 4-5 years but I deal in old collectibles so I have many old cool and sometimes pretty fast cars but not new...real fast stuff, if you know what I mean. So, I am getting itchy! lol Still no price?

Congrats - I remember seeing the car advertised in the MB Classified section. Was it located in upstate NY?
Also, you get what you pay for, so if you paid a little more who cares, you got a nice (mint) car.
