Clean 2003 E55

Hey All,

I'm selling a clean 2003 E55 on autotrader for just $19995.00 with just over 76K miles. The car is mechanically stock for the exception of a Eurocharged Heat Exchanger and Johnson fuel pump with split cooling. Also, the car has brand new Michelin PS2 tires with less than 200 miles on the tread. Check it out and PM me back if interested and I can feel you in on the details as well as send you carfax. I'm letting the car go for cheap as I just recently picked up a V2 CTS-V.

No offense but I wouldnt call 20k cheap for an '03 car with 75k even with the new tires and all. Good luck with the sale though.

Hi Lawrence,

It may not be cheap by your definition, but other cars like it are going for 2-3k more and/or have more miles. I'm basically letting it go for what I owe on it and won't sale it for much less if any at all.

Thanks AKnight55.

This car runs great and have no mechanical issues and I have all maintenance records to support my care of the vehicle. The car is basically a weekend car with mostly highway miles during my ownership.

As a 03 its a low mileage. Plus the mods, I think the asking price is pretty fair.

I agree I think the price is right in line for a quick sale.

Thanks guys. I like my V2, but this AMG still gets me excited every time I get behind the wheel. It feels faster than my Caddy at low RPM and because the power is so effortless Witt the twitch of a toe. I love that about this car! Also, with PS2 tires and AMG traction control the car just hooks and goes! I would hate to be lined up against it in my stock V as the car does not hook up as well and the peak torque doesn't kick in until higher in the RPM. Once hooked the V pulls similar to a pulley only E55 but the power is much easier to access in the E55. My honest opinion as the owner of these two cars. I'm trying to talk myself into keeping the E55, but it just doesn't make any sense to own two cars that do exactly the same thing with similar performance. PM me and I'll feel you in on the details of the car.

I have to agree..

big number for 03. People do tend to think that the prices that are asked are ultimate seliing prices. Has anyone noticed how many of these cars have come for sale lately? and are still for sale?
Hey good luck, hope it works for you. Sill a nice ride...

Thanks for the wishes for the sale of my car. I am actually selling the car for $2500.00 less than what's it worth, coupled with the fact I have over $2000.00 into the car between cooling mods and labor. Throw in brand new tires and you got a good deal! Not to many E55 will be sold with with brand new tires and mods that help reliability and consistency. As most of you know one of the first things to fail on a car is the stock pump. If the stock one is still on there it will eventually fail.
