An undermileged 9 year old car. A good buy if you're going to keep it sitting.

That is as close to new as it gets, wow look how clean that undercarrage is.
And yes the garage and other cars in it, would indicate to me this E55 was well cared for.
Cars like this, owned by people that have ultra clean tempature controlled garage are the only car I would buy. Sure you could find a sun beat 100k mile car with no service records for like $6k less.
Give me the garage kept, 50 miles a weekend, never driven in the rain car, every time.
Oh wait that is exactly what I have

I concur. This car looks clean all way around. The chrome wheels are a little out of style, but if I was in the market I would definitely give this owner a call. The price is justifiable considering the low mileage, but I would still try to get it for 3K less so that I could buy an aftermarket supercharger pump for the stock unit with labor that is sure to fail at some point. I also like that the car looks to be garage kept, but I would still ask if the car could be taken to a MBenz dealer near him (on my dime) to get a thorough look over. A car sitting around and not driven may have costly air-matic issues that I wouldn’t want to be responsible for unless he was willing to reduce the price to compensate for the cost of the repair or any unforeseen gremlins that need to addressed. Any issues that arise would need to be factored in with the purchase price. If nothing comes up then I would offer him 25K take it or leave it.

Prestine condition from the outside. Just the sitting and not driven that much is scary. Seals dry out, esp airmatic/fuel pumps, rear main, tranny could be issues and very costly for next owner.

Exactly. That is why it is worth it to get a thorough inspection by an Mercedes Benz Indy to assure you are not purchasing a money pit. If I got to dump 10K into maintenance right off the bat, then I would just consider something newer at that price point then.

This car is in completed listing as showing it sold for $27k and now it is relisted. You have wonder if the car was looked at and the guy passed or just another dreaming ebay customer figured that pushing a button would magically have the car end up in his driveway!

Super clean. But i agree, i think you'll have more problems with one that has been sitting forever with super low miles that one that's been driven regularly and has a "normal" amount of miles on it.
