2006 e55

I found a 2006 e55 with only 6600 miles on it. It has good service records all at a Mercedes dealer. It has never been in the rain and always stored in a climate controlled garage. It is 040 black with a black interior. Anyone here have any idea of what I should offer for it . He is asking for $49,000. I think that is high. But I guess something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. I wouldn’t use it much it would just join my collection. Thanks for any input.

I think he was selling the car a year or so ago. I believe he was asking ~45 ish. Looks and sounds like the same car.

Most of the cars that have finished on BAT had quite a few miles and sold in the 20s. It is had to find a really low mileage car that has been stored correctly. I just don’t think it is worth $49,000. I was thinking something under $40,000.

The 11k mile c43 was in Pennsylvania and the e55 is in Oklahoma. That c43 did look nice. I’m always on the hunt for low mileage collectable AMG cars.

I agree, I think low to mid 30's would be market price. Whether it's worth that, is hard to say. A stock E55 isn't exactly fast by today's standards, so I don't know what you'd do with it, other than buy it as an investment. I'm glad mine has 156k miles, and heavily modified. It's just pure fun to drive, and I don't care about accumulating miles. I also have an '08 E350 wagon and '11 ML63 with lower miles (70-80k) that I'm afraid of putting too many miles on. That's a problem with all low mile cars, do you drive and enjoy them or wrap them in a cocoon for preservation. Tough call.
