Looking to get rid of 04 E55

Hey All,

Picking up a 2013 E63 so time to let the E55 go. it has been a good car. 204K miles, It is a daily driver, though since Covid started I maybe drive it a total of about 50-60 miles a week max.
I have a Xentry/DAS C3 with dev mode, that will go with it because the C3 is limited for the W212 chassis.
The Good
Replaced Fuel tank filter/sending unit
new fuel pump still in box
new Webasto suspension pump in box
less than 2 years on AMG spec Arnots all the way around
Strong running stock E55,
new Brakes all the way around Zimmerman rotors and OEM Pagid pads,
SBC pressure accumulator replaced under the SBC warranty. Had the dealer find an EVAP system leak during visit, because I knew I was going to have to pass ATL emissions.
New heater mixing valve and heater hose from back of engine to mixing valve
Grille is new all black, not OEM. but better than what was there. which was broken.
new reservoir to radiator hose/pipe (not installed as of yet, minor pin hole leak in existing pipe)

The not so good
seam tear on driver outside bolster,
seat air system has a leak somewhere
leather removed from steering wheel because it was in horrible condition,
rear bench seat leather cracked/missing on driver side.
paint could use some correcting
rear spoiler currently off car needs paint.
headliner sagging.

I know the value's aren't what they used to be, I get it they are getting to be 20 yrs old, I will upload some pics shortly.
I am looking for $6K.
I am currently outside ATL, we just moved so car is still titled/registered in FL.

I will take car seat out later and take picture of back seat bottom. the black cloth under the leather is intact still, but most the perforated leather is gone. Also I have the driver side fog light grille, just all the clips broke and I keep forgetting to order more.






3m tape from rear spoiler

tear in bolster seam

sagging headliner

Engine still stock? Any mods or major engine work done in the past? Exhaust still stock?
Trans working properly or any work done to the trans in the past?

All stock including exhaust. When I first got it around 96k miles on ODO , I did a trans service, replaced conducter plate, and TC lockup solenoid, filter, fluid, and wiring connector, the car was stuttering at various part throttle shift points. Troubleshooting was done with DAS, disabling the TC lockup and all was smooth. Have since done 1 additional fluid, filter, and wiring connector at 150k, it is due for another service. There is a minor RMS leak. I add about 1 to 1.5 liters between 10k oil changes, when I first got car, before the novelty wore off and I started driving like an old man I would change oil every 5k miles. No major engine work. Serviced SC with new pulley bearing and oil right after I got car. Motor and trans mounts were done about 6 months ago also. New accessory belt, tensioner and idler done last August tensioner pulley seized without warning. If I think of anything else, I will put it in here. Since having the kids I have admittedly neglected the cosmetics, but I always keep up the mechanicals. Will need front lower control arm work done soon. I wanted to do exhaust and pulley and tune, etc... I just never found the money or time.

I live in the ATL area and I'm interested in buying the Xentry/DAS C3 if you'll sell it.
