Hey guys just bought this beautiful 2005 E55 amg station wagon with only 40k miles. How much this car is worth, you guys think?

knowbenz

You just bought it, so whatever you paid for it, it's probably worth a little more.

MoeLatif

Bought it from an old man, couldn't find others one for sales to compare the price that's why i'm asking...
I think I got it for almost nothing.

Strigoi

Why not tell us what you paid?

$16k?

CDC55AMG

Looks sharp! Hard to find indeed.

Strigoi

It's worth more than that. It seems like wagons usually pull about a $10k premium over their sedan counterparts.

Add in a 5% buyer's fee to those prices as well. Those are legit sales too. BAT doesn't allow bidding and not paying like auctions on Ebay do.

I imagine OP's car could bring $30k+ from the right buyer.

MoeLatif

Thank you.
The ones on the links have a lot more milage than mine. You think mine would sell for +30k?
BTW I bought it for 14k.

Strigoi

I wouldn't be surprised if you could get that out of it. It may take awhile to find the right person though. You definitely got a damn good deal on it.

If you're looking to flip it it might be worth it to put it on BAT. I think their seller's fee is only $99.

I agree with this. There are people out there who are willing to pay $25k for an e55 wagon. As much as I absolutely love my sedan, there are definitely days I think that I should've held out and paid the premium for a wagon.

Also I LOVE that wagon in the first link. Platinum Blue Metallic AND a wagon???? Talk about rare.

Strigoi

I feel the same about my E63 at times.

this makes me unreasonably angry

I agree. I just bought mine for a higher price than that with more than double the miles. Its a steal at that price especially with such low miles and almost silly to be asking how much is it worth unless the person buying it was completely clueless what he was buying but hard to believe since there are threads on this forum of ppl seaching hard for e55 wagons and plenty of ebay/BAT past price links.

This buyer posted same question in this thread(WTB E55 WAGON which has over 85 pages of wagon price info): https://mbworld.org/forums/mercedes-...g-shot-85.html . There are plenty of price references there.

anyways good price if thats what he paid.

You guys want to hear something that may also make you angry?

My boss came into my office yesterday and was all excited. Turns out some rich customer of ours is giving him a 2012 Camaro ZL1 (the 580hp one) with only 13,000 miles on it. For free. My boss pays nothing and the guy just wants him to have it. The guy rarely drives it, didn't want it, didn't want to deal with selling it and was happy taking the tax write off for gifting it. The only stipulation is that he said he can't just turn around and sell it.

This same guy gave one of our sales guys 2 Harley Davidsons for free as well earlier last year.

While that does make me pretty freaking pissy, it's not an easy car to live with.

My uncle is a farmer who, in his mid life crisis, ordered one. It's a '15 or '16 ZL1 I think. Red, black interior, supercharged, etc.

It just feels like a chincy peace of poop to drive. Yeah it's got an ocean of amazing LS V8 power, but it just isn't 'fun' to drive. It's hard to explain. Anyway that's what I'm telling myself to feel better about it.

I just got my 05 E55 wagon with a salvaged title and 130k miles for more than what OP paid for his mint example. Life is strange.

WANNA SELL?

Strigoi

Nope.

Here's the car. Not bad for free.

BEE55T

I meant the wagon....

Strigoi

I wasn't replying to you. I quoted tlambert.

MACEDON

Damn you stole that wagon

I meant to ask regarding lowering. It has a nice gap. I feel like my wagon sits higher a little
