E55 AMG wagon
Wow. I bought mine with 45k miles in pretty mint condition for 12,500 USD in Dubai. Here's an example:

@02jcrane dont compare USA market car to JAPAN market. This is a US legal car. 2nd your link says 151K km which is not 45K miles. more like 90K+ in miles.
Anyways different markets different prices not about being overpriced.
@Philip Shade glws . Btw is your car listed in the google docs (there is a list of VINs for some wagons) ?

Different spec cars don’t make the value anymore or less. Well not a considerable amount anyway.
I was referring to my personal car. Which was at 45k miles for around 12k USD

Different specs maybe not (even though I would say euro ones are more special b/c of more options that we don't get in here) BUT different markets do make a difference. We had a limited run here and cannot import as easy as you guys.
@02jcrane Regardless can't argue with the deal you got. We can't even get a sedan with such miles for that low. Congrats!

based on the results of this auction I would say you are priced above the market.

Mine is 1 year newer, with a touch fewer miles (6k), and has distronic which was a big factor for me when buying it.
The keyless go was broken on 3 of the doors, and the Navigation Disc needed to be replaced. (Unsure of cost) Also, the interior had a few worn areas in that auction, mainly the wood trim pieces and the drivers seat area.
I appreciate the feedback, and am leaning towards lowering the price to be closer in line with the market.

I really like those comments on the price. it seems like demand is there, but most of buyers compares wagon prices to sedans and think that they're overpriced. Seems like people want them, but they trying to comment on the prices cause they want to get them for as little as possible, with is their right. Prices are what they are. its more about uniqueness than anything else. I have paid premium for mine and don't regret it at all keep in mind that they loose value (if at all at this point ) in slower pace than sedans. Mine has no options but is low mile 09 example. 09 was the year when they only made 24 of S211 AMGs for US market. One will pay more and get more when resale time comes. Oh and prices in other countries don't mean anything to our local US market. Talk to Ausies or anyone else from countries that have ridiculous pricing on new cars.

I don't think your price is crazy. Some people have paid in the high 30's for those.
Stay where your at but be willing to entertain offers. Mine has a salvage title so I paid significantly less for it and I can't expect my value to ever rise like clean title examples.
But I do enjoy watching good ones sell.
But the silver lining in having one with a salvage title is that I can drive the crap out of it and not worry about affecting resale value.

In the US market, these wagons are few and most cars that are being sold are either going into collections or hand of enthusiasts who are willing to pay a premium price over (I don't think these cars have a definitive value) These E55 wagons are only going to get fewer and rarer to find one for sale which will only drive up prices.
For markets like the UAE, we're lucky to have cool import laws which lets us import a car from any part of the world. I'm one proud owner of an E55 wagon and must say all E55 wagons here are all in enthusiast's hands who love them to bits. The resales here are strong for a wagon which is way better than sedans here. I think it's the same for all markets, wagons demand a premium and somebody is willing to pay that.
I'm sure you'll fetch a good price, stay patient. Fix anything before sale as a fully functional car is what these "new wagon owners" are looking for.

I paid $25k for my 2006 Designo Package wagon in April. I probably overpaid a little but the car came with all the records and the big stuff like the gas tank and SBC has been addressed. It also has the third row seating and was a rare color (Mocha Black). I think the market was a little hotter at the time when they first started popping up on Bring a Trailer regularly. In the last six months I’ve seen several for sale and I think the prices have cooled just a bit. I think you listed it at the right price but I would be a little flexible if you find a good buyer. Good luck!
