My Titanite Red 2004 E55

Greetings All,
I purchased this rare colored beast ten years ago to celebrate my divorce ;-)
As I am retired and traveling more out of country, I'm now considering selling it and am curious where you would suggest the best venue to list this beauty would be
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Thank You!
PS: It's Titanite Red, Ruby and Anthracite

As much as I dislike Bringatrailer.com, that's where you'll get top dollar if they accept the car. Otherwise, carsandbids.com. Should sell in the $17k-$22k range, I think the rare color combo will bring top dollar.

You certainly don't, it took me quite a while to find one that wasn't black, white or grey
Thank you

One my personal selling points
My father had a 1985 burgundy S-Class and planted idea in my head.
He was a collector of birdseye maple antiques and when he built an addition he had a local mill cut up birdseye maple for the flooring and trim. I helped him build the addition and when I found the this car, it like was like a sign from the heavens

You forgot to add silver that list. Lol

Nice ride love the color and the merlot seats. Mine has the inserts also but in blue.

Has the car been driven in the winter months where you live?

Thank you, silver is shiney grey imo lol
I'd have settled for blue but this one hit ALL the high points for me and I feel blessed to have found it
It' has never seen snow, it has been a strictly summer road trip car and heated garage kept during the winters.
I will regret selling it

If I hadn’t gotten the Capri Blue car I would have looked for the Bordeaux for sure.

Nice on keeping it out of the nasty roads and garaged.

I have have had very positive results using Bring A Trailer. Just make sure to use one of their professional photographers.

BAT may be a good site to get the most money. A lot of people with endless funds it seems. Sometimes prices seem to be over inflated.

But be prepared for questions, pictures, and videos of dumb
s h i t from viewers that never intend on bidding or buying….lol.

Just from my observation watching auctions there.

Love the car. I didn’t have one I would love to have it.

Make sure to give it a good detail, that will really make the colours pop and will be worth it. The money you'd invest in a detail surely will pay out in the selling price I think.

Also try and take some good pictures of the undercarriage if selling on BAT, seems to be an important item for a lot of bidders there.

Especially if it's driven in the salt belt area like MI.
Beautiful car if all checks out fine
