2005 E55 FS, 51K miles, Sou Cal

Well, it’s time to downsize, so I’m ready, though very reluctant to sell my E55. It's been an outstanding vehicle from day one.

VIN, options details and some pictures attached. I'm the original owner/garaged since new. Clean Carfax and title. Stock, no mods. All servicing records and additional services completed by MBLN, Elite Motors and me. Pristine condition. $23K PM me with questions.

Original owner, low miles, and stock...what a find!

Seems like it should bring a lot more than that considering.

Based on book value and market, I disagree.

Thanks for the interest in the car. Was away for a couple of days. I replied to all calls and emails. Here are more pictures and additional answers for those who asked. The interior is spotless. Mostly just me in the car. Car has the 2005 Nav system. Last update was in 2008. Airmatics have not been replaced. Still work well, and MBLN inspected everything else at last service (fuel tank recall). All tires are almost new. Michelin Pilot SSports on rear, Bridgestone Potenza Sport on front. The car is driven every weekend, the rest of the time in garage on a Battery Tender. I service everything more than the manual requires, some myself (coolant/oil/filters etc.) Bigger stuff or stuff that needs STAR done by dealer or Elite Motors (Brake Fluid/Trans Fluid/Rear Axle Fluid/belts etc.) and some just for fun by me (Supercharger oil change)…just because I can’t believe that’s a lifetime fluid.

Again, I am only selling because of downsizing. Auto Check report score for this car is 91%. Car Fax is clear as well. Car has no issues. Located in South Orange County.
