there is an e55 on ebay with the "president's edition" package.
supposedly $10k gets you navigation and carbon fiber trim. Has anyone seen this before??

looks really nice, but seems a bit overpriced...

If the carbon fibre trims are really made by AMG Manufaktur, then they worth every penny of it because that stand alone option costs around USD5,000. But I have never heard of anything as President's edition. Also, AMG do not sell the carbon fibre trimming to overseas customers. You have to install them at the AMG factory.

moa4r, I thought you are going to send me an e-mail???!! I am waiting.....

E55 Presidents edition

Gentlemen,

I am the representative from Atlanta Classic Cars in Duluth, GA with the Presidents Edition E55 for sale. To avoid any further bashing of our good company reputation, I would like to educate you guys on what The Presidents Edition is all about.

First of all, there are 42 of these in existence, according to our market Manager for MB of North America (Jacksonville Region). These 42 field cars were driven very briefly by VP's of MBUSA and are equipped from the factory with the carbon fibre (very nice by the way), AMG crest on the center console ashtray cover, lighted door sills, comfort seats, and Nav(very rare for 2003 E Class cars). This is not a car that we "altered" in any way and it was as surprising to us as it is to all of you when it arrived. We did not know what the hell it was!!! But, after research and the several phone calls to Montvale, we became educated on what a Presidents Edition is.

Hopefully this will help. We are definitely a VERY reputable MB dealer and would appreciate the respect that we have earned over the years.

If you have any additional questions about this car or any other Mercedes-Benz, I am very accessible.

Happy New Year!

Maybe a dumb question but......

If there are supposedly 42 of these made why does your ebay ad say:
" VERY RARE!! This car will be sold as a NEW car. If you want the ultimate E55, this is it. Nobody else will have one of these!!!"

What happened to the other 41 made???
Or is this the only one painted Tectite Grey?

Hey Tommy, you took quite a beating on the other thread about this Prez Edition E55. In order to be a beneficial member on this board you need to provide some tidbits of information that us mere mortal consumers can not find. I am not asking you to give away corporate secrets, but in order not to be bashed here you have to act more like an Mercedes Enthusiants and not a dealer.

I will start. Since you say there are 42 of the Prez Editions this is your homework assignment:

1. How many 2003 E55's sent to USA?

2. How many 2004 E55's will be sent to the USA or what is the yearly USA E55 allotment?

3. What's coming in the 2005 E55?

4. When will the 3.5 4 valve first slated in the 2005 SLK be put in the W203 and W210?

Thanks.

Kev: maybe you should just ask him to find out Juergen Schrempp's underwear size and bank account #'s. Think accurate AMG import #'s are any easier to come by?

That's funny! And you are probably right.
