Someone buy my E55! 2005 beast!

I've been trying to sell my car for like 4 years and literally only put 5k on it the past 2 years so it just sits and only gets driven a few times a month.

I have literally gone over everything on this car.you won't need to do a thing for years.just did new plugs and wires along with a break flush and fresh 0w40 mobile 1.

Also through in brand new k&n filters and have brand new bosch 02 sensors (that was the last thong I wad going to do)the car has 18k worth of warranty raping at herb chambers of lynfield and has a brand new tranny and a long list of this they changed.

Car needs Nothing!

Only issue I know of is slight vibration in front drivers wheel at around 75 and the common big boy tb map code that will pend every now and then.I learned to live with it and accept it.

I just put the second cats back in and hit the dyno last week 485whp and it was very heat soaked and 94 d out and the car won first place on that dyno for the day.

A gallardo put down 360whp so I don't know how it compares to my other dyno that I made 530whp with no cats but the car is strong a **** and has no first gear and second is nothing but traction controlled if it's under 80 out.

Here is a better write up on my Craigslist add.if I get full price I will include sds,full e63 body kit and brand new limited slip diff.

Those pictures in your CL ad aren't doing anything to help you sell that car. Maybe try vacuuming it and taking some pictures that are in-focus.

Agreed. Vacuum the trunk and passenger cabin, clean out or hide the stuff in the center console and seats, then retake those specific pictures. Make the inside appear as clean as possible.

Show some effort in the pics and your potential buyers will think you have some effort in the car.

Guys I've done all that and absolutely sick of the tung window shoppers that can't afford the car.

I'm not even joking but I'm sick of doing all the work for them to come at me with can you do a private loan to trading 2 cars and building me a deck in my yard.

If there is a serious buyer and local (witch is what I prefer )they can see the car in person.

It's a clean 10 year old E55 I'm not selling my s63

You could recuperate the cost of the repaint, and raise the asking price of the car, just by removing that front grille.

Have you held it this long on the market and no price reduction? I got to believe most young guys would chose a new CLA before paying almost $24k for your 05. If you do find someone they probably can't get financing, must Bank/Credit Union will not touch a car over eight years old. So now you need someone who is looking to spend cash for a very nice car that you've upgrade to the hilt. But maybe it analogous to someone who add so much value to there house, it ends up worth more than everything else in the neighborhood.

There are 3 other e55s in my area on Craigslist asking the same price.Aknight has his listed for more I think.

Not really sure what your asking me to do? Lower my price because someone can get a cla? Price is negotiable and I can take all the carbon fiber off and sell it separate.

I actually have 3 pms for people that want some of my parts.

Limited slip 1k
Sds 600
Body kit 1k

Here is an 03 with a rebuilt title for 20 grand
http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/5026456459.html

Bone stock 03 with same miles as mine for 23k
http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/cto/4983397601.html

04 26k
http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/cto/5047987712.html

How about a nice e500 broke down on a flatbed for 20k.this kid is looking for an e55emaybe I should hit him up to lol
