This 2001 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG was sold new in Canada where it shows previous registrations in Ontario and British Columbia. The current owner acquired the car in 2023 and has added approximately 28k km (~17k miles) under their care. The car currently shows 212k km (~131k mi) and is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over Black and Gray Leather (528). Power is provided by an AMG-built 5.4-liter V8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes a power tilt/slide glass sunroof, Xenon headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, heated multicontour front seats, Bose audio and a trunk-mounted CD changer. The Carfax report shows 68 service history records with the most recent services including a new A/C compressor, new drive belts, and new fluids. This 2001 E55 AMG is now offered for sale on behalf of the owner with the original manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean B.C. title in the owner’s name
The exterior is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features AMG body styling including a sculpted front air dam, rear apron and side skirts along with chrome AMG dual exhaust pipes. Exterior features include Xenon headlamps with fog lamps front and rear, heated headlamp and windshield washers, rain-sensing wipers, remote central locking, a garage door opener and power adjustable door mirrors with an auto-dimming driver side. The seller notes some light rock chips and knicks in the paint on the passenger rear door, clear coat failure on the passenger window, a cracked fog lamp lens, and a cracked trim strip above the license plate.
Factory 18” AMG Monoblock wheels come fitted with 245/40 Michelin Pilot Sport tires up front and matching tires measuring 275/35 at the rear. Date codes show 2022 up front and 2021 for the rear. Disc brakes are mounted on all four corners with four-piston calipers mounted at the front.
The cabin is trimmed in Black and Gray Leather (528) with original matching AMG floor mats and Black Bird’s Eye Maple wood trim. Parts of the veneer on the center console and doors have been replaced with carbon fiber trim. Additionally, the steering wheel has been replaced with a thicker wheel made from carbon fiber as well. Both front seats are heated and offer multicontour adjustment with three-position memory for both passenger and driver. Interior amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a power-adjustable steering column, a power rear sunshade, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and an aftermarket head unit driven by an amplifier. A subwoofer enclosure has been added to the trunk. Diamond tread plate floor mats protect the original velour mats and can be included in the sale. The sunroof is noted to need servicing.
The multifunction steering wheel frames gray AMG gauges including a 260-km/h speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, fuel level and coolant temperature. A configurable digital display is mounted in the speedometer along with a digital outside temperature sensor, and a digital clock. The digital odometer shows 212k km (~131k mi). The Carfax report does show a mileage inconsistency in 2006 where it appears a clerical error occurred when entering mileage.
This W210 is powered by a hand-built AMG 5.4-liter V8 which is rated for 349 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The Carfax report shows 68 service history records with the most recent services including a new A/C compressor, new drive belts, and new fluids.
This 2001 E55 AMG is now offered for sale on behalf of the owner with the original manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean B.C. title in the owner’s name
The seller has included the following videos:
The W210 E55 AMG remains one of the great understated AMG sedans, pairing classic E-Class proportions with the naturally aspirated 5.4-liter M113 V8 that helped define the era. This Canadian-market 2001 example shows 211k kilometers and wears some aftermarket modifications, giving it more of a driver-focused personality than a preserved collector presentation This is not a concours-level E55, and the car’s rougher edges are part of the story. What matters here is the underlying formula: a durable AMG V8, rear-wheel drive, usable four-door packaging, and the kind of analog character that later AMG sedans gradually moved away from. These cars were built to cover miles quickly and comfortably, and this example appears best suited for someone who intends to keep using it as intended. For buyers looking for a polished, low-mileage showpiece, this may not be the car. But for the enthusiast who wants an honest W210 E55 with real AMG character, driver-grade usability, and room to enjoy without guilt, this sedan has the right kind of appeal.

Hello, Is the listing in CAD or USD?@mwadeebe55 Hello, sir. Importing a 25-year-old vehicle from British Columbia, Canada to the US is easy by using the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Vehicle Import Guide, as vehicles over 25 years old are exempt from federal DOT safety standards and EPA emissions restrictions. Basically, it is filling out few forms and paying 2.5% standard customs duty of the purchase price or market value. It is also exempt from any newly implemented tariffs.From the uninformed, how difficult is it to get it into the US? If already answered, apologies :)$3,500 bid placed by @Ruanjiayuan
@RBBrooke Hello sir, I went through all the receipts and paperwork I have from the car, and have not seen a record of transmission and engine mounts being replaced. Earlier this year, car has been inspected by certified Mercedes-Benz mechanic and order of parts that needed to be replaced has been placed (photo 188), and they have been installed. Few weeks ago, I took the car to a large shop (photo 161) of a dealership that services all makes and models, to be put on a hoist and inspected prior the sale (and to make photos and videos of undercarriage). The mechanic that did the inspection, previously owned E400 and E320 (W124s) and was familiar with this model as well. I had a chat with him and he did not mention that the mounts need to be replaced. There are 3 small dots on the front passenger side door, that the rocks chipped the paint and they look rusty on the surface. They have been pointed out on the 2001 E55 AMG Part 8 video at 0:22 of the video.@samwell_1 Hello sir, fresh videos made today, have been added to my youtube channel, as per your request: 1) Driving: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I6TQkHaEkrI 2) Acceleration: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8ar_pDZ9uaE 3) Cold start - exhaust note: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3QKOFNwW8ogDoes not appear that the transmission and engine mounts have been replaced. Confirm? Is there any visible rust on the body?$3,250 bid placed by @RBBrooke
Hi Ace, any videos of the beauty driving and accelerating. I watched them all and didn’t see one. Thanks brotherHello and welcome to my first ever auction listing. I am a lifelong Mercedes-Benz enthusiast and I gave my best effort trying to correctly represent the condition of this great car. I am here to answer any questions to the best of my abilities in the comment section or through the message seller function, privately. I can also recommend a local independant Mercedes-Benz specialist mechanic shop or a qualified mobile mechanic, if you wish to pursue a pre-purchase inspection. Being 25 years old, this car qualifies for collector status plates and low insurance premiums in British Columbia. It is eligible to be imported into the US and exempt from any newly implemented tariffs (just a 2.5% standard customs duty of the purchase price or market value). Happy bidding and good luck!$3,000 bid placed by @Allowit
