Estimates on Value

Hey folks,

I'm toying with the idea of unloading my 2005 E55. Understandably, I know there's no definitive answer as to its value but I'm interested in gathering feedback.

Here's a quick list of the condition:
2005 (non Designo)
Black
42k miles
full service history
Non distronic
Dynamic Seats
Rear Shade
Sirius Satellite
Non-HID
non pano
heated seats (no cooling)
FTP H/E
EC Mids
CF trunk spoiler
Paint: 9/10
Interior 10/10
Powertrain 10/10
All electronics are 100%


Again, just generally curious. If anyone is interested, I can upload photos as well.


Thanks in advance for your constructive feedback.

2006 E55
For the most part I bought your year younger twin (2006, 41k miles, very similar mods in April). Paid $22,900 which at the time was full "retail" and was glad to pay it given its pedigree.

could I have found something cheaper and or something "done" with FULL mods at the same or less? Sure there is or always will be something...

there are a lot of low mike E55's in auto trader right now. Miles and Prices vary.

regardless if you are asking $17k or $25k you have to find the right buyer. I happened to be a "boomerang" who had an E55, got rid of it, and always wanted one, knew and appreciated the car. What can you buy in the $20k range that has the level of class and performance of an e55?

NOTHING!

Good luck with the sale.

I wholeheartedly agree! I have no need to sell the car, and I know how much I'd miss having it around, but liquidating it would mean more cash on-hand for the next platform.

In all honesty, I'd probably shoot for something powered by an M157.

Or just re-enact my favorite scene from The Departed....
