This 2001 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG was sold new by Mercedes-Benz of Knoxville, TN and shows registration in Florida, California and Idaho under two owners with 156k miles on the odometer. The car was recently listed on The MB Market and did not meet reserve. The seller has since had paint imperfections corrected and is relisting with No Reserve. Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over Charcoal Nappa Leather (521), power is provided by a hand-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. A service including a complete flush of all fluids was performed in April 2023. This 2001 E55 AMG is now offered at No Reserve by the current owner with the original manufacturer’s literature, tool kit, a recent Carfax report, and a clean Idaho title in the seller’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. A trailer hitch has been mounted to the rear of the car. The seller has had the front bumper repainted due to normal rock chips as well as a dent on the lower passenger door fixed. The Carfax shows a minor damage report in February 2023 due to the car being keyed which required a respray of the passenger side. The seller reports that no rust is present on the body.
18” AMG Monoblock wheels come fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires measuring 245/40 front and 275/35 rear with date codes from 2020. Some signs of curb rash are visible on the wheels. Ventilated discs are mounted on all four corners with four-piston calipers mounted at the front.
The cabin is trimmed in Charcoal Nappa Leather (521) with black rubber floor mats and Black Bird’s Eye Maple wood trim lining the center console, dashboard and door panels. 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, a trunk-mounted CD changer, Bose audio and a Blaupunkt Bremen radio. The front seats are covered with sheepskin covers and there are no tears in the leather.
The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel frames gray AMG gauges including a 160-mph 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, a digital clock and a digital odometer which shows 156k miles with 40k miles added by the current owner in the past ten years.
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 seller reports that a full fluid change was performed in April 2023 with partial service history included with the car.
The Carfax shows registration in Florida, California and Idaho under two owners with linear mileage updates and regular service visits from new. The aforementioned minor damage report is shown in February 2023 with no accidents appearing on the Carfax. This E55 AMG is now offered at No Reserve by the current owner in Merced, California with the original manufacturer’s literature, spare tire, tool kit and a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name.

How are the front seats condition? Can’t tell since covered… also are there any cracks or weather damage to the dash? Thank you@RBBrooke Got it - thanks!@ariotofmyown Correct. The pro photo shoot was done in June. During the shoot the photographer somehow dented the right front quarter panel down low. It was very slight. I was not there. So I had that fixed and at the same time I had the front and rear sanded and resprayed as well as the front hood and one new small dent on the top of the right front fender. There are new photos of the new work but they are not well distinguished from the pro photo shoot. Rest assured the body is clean. No pits, scratches or dents.@rbbrooke how long ago was the bumper resprayed to remediate rock chips? Photo 26 shows damage and rock chips...so was it resprayed after these photos were taken?

This is a beautifully maintained accident free example of the E-55 AMG. All of the maintenance records are detailed in the CarFax report. As this auction closes out, I am happy to answer any questions.$5,750 bid placed by @Pimpa7755
whomever buys this baby needs this : https://www.ebay.com/itm/253814856585?fits=Model%3AE55+AMG%7CMake%3AMercedes-Benz&epid=1634019393&hash=item3b188b5b89:g:vQYAAOSwxudbbf8V&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0BvDI0SQ5gdBRPKmgVMThnMrcTRFeFmp7PwxIT5TzHeI2ZzZNPbMvM88Efj4cxtrsDMEWgQ4Tk9N4Q5jklnoUOdbzZ%2FV6bbtJTsPdJrUf7%2FnRvCgSrFDx3ISXX%2BQBqwFHAYg4JUwNB332flckPGKadrNgMDspKYJtvlk2Gm5IjBmC5D%2B%2FH09NCkQyaEzkavTlzSAxAVmyQmLo4ulfjsgV8F87hO3L2LLiF9wfdukWr5qjh%2FRjaHfJND3ReTvcPwdBaQZtfH0KcomTc5uLV5ejEs%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5DQuLa4YgThe Idaho title and registration is current and in my name, Richard Brooke.. I own businesses in Idaho and residences in California and Hawaii.Who currently holds title and registration to the vehicle, since you are implying a couple of transfers but the car still sits on Idaho plates?This car is registered in Idaho my long time residence. I kept it in Calif the last few years as I wintered there. Then I moved to Hawaii. I will get it smogged for the new owner@Borealis The pro photos of the car are from After the key and before the slight crease in the right side. The entire right side was sanded and resprayed to repair the key. Then the right front quarter panel was done again to repair the crease. there are new photos of the right front after the last spray on the site. I believe smog is only an issue depending on where you register it. It is in Merced, Calif about 100 miles east of San Fran.Are the photos from before or after being keyed and resprayed incident? And considering vehicle's current location is in CA, would smog check be done in CA after the sale? Thank you.@Mfcharron They have not and none of the inspections suggested it. The last few deep services were done by Mike at Sigfreids Motors in Fresno. I asked him each time to give me his wish list of maintenance as if it was his car.Has the timing chain/guides/tensioner been inspected or replaced?$5,500 bid placed by @texdot88
https://thembmarket.com/2001-mercedes-benz-e55-amg-1 There is history here from the previous sale. and this from the second owner... June 16th, 2023 at 8:17am richraz (1) 1 This is a great machine. I was the 2nd owner of Artemus (my oldest daughter named it after the Greek goddess). I purchased Artemus from the original owners--a retired couple in their early 70's who lived in Naples, Florida that bought it new in Tennessee. I believe they did maintenance at MB dealerships. it was impeccable when I purchased it, and before finding it I looked at dozens of E55's prior to finding this in Naples, Florida. Drove it 3,000 miles back to my home in Silicon Valley, which was a blast of a road trip in that vehicle. I kept it several years and did every and all maintenance needed, and then for family reasons needed to sell it, and did so to Richard who has been a long-term friend. Knowing that I'd get first dibs on it if he ever sold it again made it easier to part with. If I didn't already have two SUV's and two motorcycles (and a trailer), then I would absolutely be buying this back; alas, five vehicles for a single guy is already too much. This is my all time favorite sedan that I've ever owned, and for context in the past have had various Lexus, BMW at least a half dozen Mercedes Benzes. This is a great performance sedan, looks beautiful, reasonable to maintain, and very reliable.$5,000 bid placed by @LForbish14
Some of us are old enough to remember when a clean and well cared for '90s E500E could be picked up for under $30K. Remember that? That wasn't too long ago. The W210 AMGs are exactly there at the moment so this is a great opportunity to pick one up. I've already checked that box x 2, so here just to admire and wish the seller good luck with this no reserve auction. Great car with a great following. All the best.I am the owner now for the past 10 plus years. The new owner of this car will be "surprised" at how clean and well cared for it is. All the important service work has been done by MB specialists in Monterey and Fresno, Calif including the trans and motor mounts, belts, gaskets etc. It runs and rides perfect and as buyers will know it is a rocket. I installed a new Blaupunkt bluetooth stereo. Happy to answer any questions.@Heshe, I see the hyperlink now... but I'd swear it wasn't there when I posted the comment. I had to Google the VIN to find the previous listing. I could have overlooked it though! 0_o@gsxr Thanks. Its already hyperlinked in the first paragraph but good to have the link too.Link to previous result / discussion: https://thembmarket.com/2001-mercedes-benz-e55-amg-1
