Wow! It looks like you got a real steal of a deal here, @steelgator412 Congrats on the super cool car.
Nice win. CONGRATS
Always wanted one of these and now I finally have one!

@MDPensfan there is no staining, that’s just where it creases when you sit down. Electronics are all functioning.
Hi seller.. Do all electronics (sunroof, seats, etc) work as they should? And is that staining on the upper part of the front seats?
@dub671 paintwork was done under prior ownership.
@RBBrooke No reserve! Bid with confidence.
Is there a reserve on this?

Any details of the rear fender paint work? To address underlying rust?
@Axle all lamps are working properly, bulb warning is off. Trans was serviced at 100k in 2012 shocks have not been replaced, though with these they rarely fail.
Hi lots of good service receipts, but a little hard to follow. I have a couple questions: Was the front right bulb issue (reference photo 48) ever resolved? Any history of a transmission service? Any history of the shocks/struts being replaced?
@Jgrey86 $1200-1500
Have an idea of how much it would cost to ship to Sacramento
@Jgrey86 yes, shipping is fine
Will you ship the car to California
@JPNMBZ no, out of state buyers will handle sales tax in their home state.
Will this car have sales tax? Out of state buyer, (TN)
Hey everyone, making note that we have installed a factory radio back in this E55. Best wishes!

@JMRIEGEL we like seeing them stay close to home!
Been looking for a 210 55 and this is local too. Could be the one…
@DCMotorWerks Everywhere but the Home of CarFax (BaT) it would seem😎 Good luck on your E55. Obviously, a well-cared for example and in IMHO you brought to the right place.
@CICBarkeep I had a graphite S55. Great spec car. Documentation/story of the car is worth everything these days.
@DCMotorWerks And thanks for the update on the oil leaks!!
@DCMotorWerks I'm a big believer of invoices. Bought a 2005 S55 AMG on this site due in large part to the documentation provided by the seller. He'd chronologically compiled all the work he'd had done on an Excel spreadsheet and included the actual invoices and a VMI with the car. Example here: https://thembmarket.com/2005-mercedes-benz-s55-amg-designo-graphite-edition I've of course continued what he'd done, and all the info will go with the car, assuming I ever decide to sell it.
@CICBarkeep lots of invoices are good! Yes oil leaks have been addressed. Mainly the rear main which many elect not to do due to the cost.
@RBBrooke the transmission mount was still in good shape. We are happy to put one in if the high bidder would like.
Tranny mounts do not appear to have been replaced. Have they?
