Makes me wonder what I could get for my clean (minus minorish accident from some drunk *** kid) 03 with only like 56K miles now.

I looked at these cars a LOT. Dealers were all around 18-19K for a 2004-2005 with anywhere from 70-90K miles. For me I really wanted to get one with lower mileage.
They do sell fast with low miles so you see one you really like grab it. Local sold an 03 with 69K miles and it only booked out at 14K. She sold it in one day for 19K. Condition and mileage= quick sale.
Salvage titles will utterly kill the value though. Originally Posted by dllhg

Mine did have a salvage title on it for being vandalized. No accidents just keyed and had interior trashed. Was all fixed before I bought it tough. I looked at these cars a LOT.

My car is super clean and modded and I'm selling it under book value and people just seem afraid to buy an AMG. From the looks of it I genuinely think I'm going to take it with me to Texas.

Caveat to purchasing one for $16-$25k is repair are still the cost of it being a $90k car. My 4matic went in for service 2x past couple months close to $7,000
Rear diff replaced
Fuel leak ds
Rear main seal leak
Valve cover leak
Ps axle replaced busted inner boot
Luckily my cpo extended warranty I got covered all of the repairs.

$16,5K is way to low for 06 E55 just do a PPI make sure not salvage otherwise you will have some extra budget for repairs and maintenance. I bought mine 4 years ago double that price. AMG depreciation

PPI is a must. Its not even debatable....you really dont know if its a good deal or not till you have it checked out by an MB tech.
Well it already has 6K in mods installed and its running very strong. All installed by a master MB tech

Sounds like a good deal to me.. have a buyers inspection done. Dont get sucked in by the price.
