Lmmaculate 2002 Mercedes E55 Amg Private Seller on 2040-cars
Reedville, Virginia, United States
|
For sale by private owner 2002 Mercedes E55 AMG. I have owned this beautiful car for 6+ years now. For 4 of those years it was kept in a temp controlled military storage in NC while I worked and lived in SE Asia. Car has 102,000 miles. My "baby" is tectite grey metallic ... super rare, and even rarer has the chrome AMG rims and not the standard aluminum. Car was originally purchased in California, and I purchased from second owner in North Carolina. My E55 was appraised and is currently insured by American Collectors insurance at $23,500. Overall car is 9.5 out of a 10 total.
The W210 E55 AMG is amongst the best value-for-money AMGs, period. In fact, few other cars offer the same blend of outright performance, quality build, practicality, and reliability that come as neatly wrapped as the W210 E55 package. They’re fast and bullet-proof and don’t have the expensive and frequent repair issues of the W211s (2003-2006) E55s, especially the $1,000/ corner Airmatic DC shocks. Since fewer than 500 E55's were imported to the USA in 2002 there is only a small number of well-documented examples left, and significantly less in tectite grey metallic. My E55 is truly a rare find with the tectite grey exterior and the chrome AMG rims. I also have the original window sticker listing original cost and all original options. The paint is glossy wet and in excellent condition. The interior is finished in dark grey nappa leather. The seats are soft and supple with perforations. There is slight wear on drivers seat left bolster, All other seating and interior have no tears, rips, stains, blemishes, or show any signs of neglect. The carpet inside is as fresh as it is when it was new. There aren't any stains, rips, spills, or holes in the carpets. I also purchased a custom fitted car cover (Coverking-$600) and custom front bra (Colgan-$450) for my "baby". Both will go with the car to new buyer. The wood in the car is a Black Birds-Eye Maple. I like the color because it blends in well with the dark grey upholstery. Has original E55 AMG mats in nice condition, also have a spare set of aftermarket that will go with the car. I regularly get 24mpg on the highway, which is awesome for a 350HP, 390 Torque, 5.4L V8 engine! Tires on this car are brand new BF Goodrich Sport Comp II's, ZR rated. 2002 E55's run stock staggered front and rear...with the rear super wide at 275/35ZR18. I have done my best to describe everything and I don't have anything to hide. If you have questions, I would be glad to answer them for you. My name is Scott and my cell number is 832-270-1138. If I don't answer, please leave me a message. I WILL call you back. As far as price goes, I believe it is priced correctly for the immaculate condition of my "baby". You can buy a cheaper one, for sure But you won't really do get what you pay for. What you'll find available are either black or silver, sold by dealers, and I guarantee not in the condition my "baby" has been kept in. This car is not just an AMG that has been bought and sold by an independent dealer it has been owned privately by me for 6+ years! And meticulously maintained. I have a free and clear title in hand. I would be glad to help coordinate with your shipper. The car is being sold by me, and I am not a dealer or a third party. The car is being sold AS/IS-WHERE/IS, and no warranties are implied. If you need a shipper, I will be glad to help you. The buyer of my "baby" WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! This is an extremely fast, quiet and smooth German rocket ship. I am going to miss greatly and has been treated like a third child. I have decided to move back to Asia and retire in Thailand, unfortunately the Thai government will not allow me to bring the car with me and has been a very tough decision to sell my "baby". The new owner will be thrilled with my car...you absolutely will not be disappointed !! Check out my feedback rating, sold one other car in 2003, my 1972 big block 454 corvette, owner in Canada was thrilled when the car was delivered....you will be too! Asking $18,500, please only serious buyers and no tire kickers. Reserve is set slightly less than the asking price. Thank you for taking the time to review my auction.

Clark Gable's 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing doesn't sell, then does sell for $1.85 million [UPDATE: w/video]
Sat, 19 Jan 2013How much extra value does previous celebrity ownership add to of a car? Really, there's no way to know until the car in question hits the auction block and bidders start raising their hands. In the case of the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing you see above, the celebrity owner is none other than Clark Gable, who purchased it new. After Gable's death in 1960, the car changed hands a few times before settling with Charles Wood in 1975.
A high-dollar restoration was performed in 1989, and period accessories added by Gable himself were kept in place, including the Rudge knock-off wheels and Nardi steering wheel. Any Mercedes-Benz 300SL is worth a big chunk of money. In the case of Clark Gable's old Gullwing, the bidding stalled at $1.9 million here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. As one of the 5000-series cars, this 300SL carried a reserve, and a bit of after-the-fact dealmaking saw the car change hands for $1.85 million.
You can see our high-res image gallery above, and the car's official auction description below.
Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
First official shot of Mercedes S-Class Coupe leaks out
Mon, 10 Feb 2014With the official debut for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe expected tomorrow, it shouldn't be a surprise that some clicky fingers have already managed to uncover an official image of the car before the unveiling. Outside of this sole image, though, there's precious little detail on the new car.
First posted by Autofilou and then picked up by WorldCarFans, the production S-Class Coupe isn't far off from the concept car we saw a few months back in Frankfurt. Like the concept, the leggy production model appears related, albeit distantly, to the S-Class Sedan. The hood and front fascia are longer and lower, befitting of a two-door, while the character lines in the profile are more pronounced. Obviously, the beltline and slim, B-pillarless greenhouse are coupe-only items. We can't see any details on the back of the car, although it does appear that the long hood has a correspondingly short rear deck.
We'll have all the details on the official replacement for the CL-Class when it makes its full debut tomorrow. Until then, what do you think of this lone image? Does it appear that Mercedes has got it right? In terms of design, where would you rank this with the departing CL-Class? Have your say in Comments.
