1500 miles and NEW? No way...too many joy rides in that care at that price....I would order one myself brand SPANKING new with like 4 miles. Obviously the factory can make more if they made 7 of these.

Yes, this car is limited, if it is a real Presidential Edition. They were cars built with real Carbon Fiber trim instead of the Black Birdseye Maple and supposedly driven by MBZ Execs.!!!

............Actually this has been discussed before. Atlanta Classic cars had one for sale for $97K and it got no bids. I have seen the car myself. It looks nice and has black carbon fiber trim and an AMG logo on the front ashtray cover. It has Comand, which for a 2003 E55 is ararity. However I saw nothing to justify the extra price tag and as far as I know, the car never sold at that price.

Since these 7 cars came from the factory the CF trim and AMG interior bits should be orderable at any Mercedes dealer? That would be a nice interior upgrade on other W211's.

I think it's a $5000 upgrade that AMG can do for you. Special order only.

is that blacked out grille factory? if not, then i thought non-factory mods would depreciate a car's retail value, especially on a brand new car

is that body colored grille factory as well? I thought non-factory mods on a "brand new" would infact depreciate the cars value.

hmm...

Maybe it's the designo nappa interior....Whoa I almost wanted to bid....


Or maybe it's the fact that it's a 2k3 WITH a DVD Nav which would be neat (in 2k2/early2k3) when it wasn't available, but I'd rather buy a 2k4 for far less. Whatever.

Enjoy,
TB

Lemme remember now....

aren't you the same bunch of guys who ran the fellow off of this board by telling him there was no such thing as a Presidential Edition? This one doesn't exist either?
I agree, I'm not the buyer for it. But if someone is, let em be.
