This E55 sedan is now offered for sale by the current owner in Miami, Florida with 13 years of service history, original manufacturer’s literature, the original tool kit, a clean Carfax report and a clean Florida title.
The exterior is finished in Platinum Blue Metallic (353) and features AMG body styling with a sculpted front air dam, side skirts and rear bumper. V8 Kompressor badges are featured on the front fenders with chrome-plated quad AMG exhaust pipes at the rear. Exterior features include Bi-Xenon headlamps with active curve illumination and heated headlamp washers, front fog lights, a panorama glass sunroof and solar panels providing power to the climate control ventilation system. The seller states that the sunroof sliding feature is not functional. The exterior shows minor rock chips and scratches as well as a minor dent in the passenger-side quarter panel with no rust or body damage present.
The 18” AMG double five-spoke alloy wheels were recently fitted with a new set of Yokohama Advan Apex tires measuring 245/45 front and 265/35 rear. Ventilated discs are fitted on all four corners with 8-piston front calipers and 4-piston rears which are finished in silver with black AMG lettering. The AMG-tuned Airmatic Dual Control suspension offers adjustability for both ride height and stiffness. Recent maintenance includes new front ball joints and lower control arms.
The cabin is upholstered in Blue Leather (252) with a gray suede headliner and black floor mats showing AMG embroidery. Burl Walnut wood trim lines the center console, dashboard and door panels and shows no signs of cracking or discoloration. Both front seats are heated and ventilated with three-position memory and feature multicontour seat backs. Additional interior features include four-zone automatic climate control, a power tilt/telescope steering wheel, Harman Kardon Logic7 surround sound and Keyless-Go with push button start.
The multi-function steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer with a centrally-mounted configurable digital display as well as a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and digital gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer currently shows 157k miles from new.
This W211 is powered by a hand-built supercharged 5.4-liter M113k V8 which is factory rated at 469 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an AMG-enhanced five-speed automatic transmission. Recent maintenance includes new front ball joints, lower control arms and new Bilstein engine and transmission mounts. Maintenance from 2022 included an engine oil and filter change, new air filters, spark plus, a new steering rack, pump and reservoir, new valve cover gaskets, new alternator and a new battery.
The Carfax report shows five owners with linear mileage updates from new along with regularly reported service visits and no accidents or damage reports. Service records dating back to 2010 are included and have been documented by the seller in the photo gallery below. This 2004 E55 AMG is now offered with the original manufacturer’s literature, tool kit, a clean Carfax report and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
A driving video has been provided by the seller below.
After the success of the W210 E55, AMG needed to turn up the performance for the W211 to attract new attention, and turn up the performance they did! Fitting a helical supercharger and intercoolers, AMG was able to increase the output of the M113 by over 100 horsepower and reach a whopping 516 lb-ft of torque. This super-sedan was able to reach 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds and claimed the title of world’s fastest sedan in 2003. Combined with an Airmatic Dual Control suspension, the W211 E55 was able to beat nearly any car off the line and cruise at triple-digit speeds all while maintaining a level of ride comfort that was up to the highest of Mercedes-Benz standards. This example shows 157k on the clock, but given the reliability of the M13K and 722.6 transmission, it’s hardly a worry. With a plethora of optional equipment and a unique Blue/Blue color combination, this example offers phenomenal value for anyone looking to get their hands on some AMG muscle.

I almost bought this car from the previous owner. Nice clean car with a lot of rare options@OnTheHunt very understandable. It’s a solid example for the miles, moreover this amount of mileage is a walk in the park for this platform.@HLEBTABUNOU the unique color combination alone should have brought that. If I weren't looking for a much lower mileage one this would have been it no doubt.@OnTheHunt solid guess!I'm guessing reserve was at about $15k.$12,750 bid placed by @Youngclassicamg

@Youngclassicamg the pulleys/tensioners we’re installed but I’m not sure if both belts were replaced or only the main one. This was done beginning of 2022.@Youngclassicamg just snapped the pictures of what you requested, I’m just trying to figure out a way to get them to you. And as for the supercharger pulleys and belt I’m waiting on word from the previous owner. Also, to add to my previous answer, I have an extra new brake rotor for the car.can you snap some more pics of the undercarriage for example the cv axle area and the trans and pinch welds etc. Also was there any service done on the supercharger puller and the other pulleys and belt. I saw that the water pump was done a while ago. Thank you@Youngclassicamg complete brake job was done on all 4 wheels, pads and rotors, sometime at the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022 Air struts were replaced both in the front I believe and on the driver side in the rear. I think only the passinger side in the rear is original. The transmission is smooth. I’ve never noticed anything out of the ordinary. The only issue I would address if I were to keep the car is there is the infamous ball joint squeak coming from the front when the car gets going from a stop. It’s a relatively cheap fix. Aside from the rock chips in the front I see no imperfections in the clear coat. There are slight door dings on some parts of the car that are visible under certain light conditions.Hello have the brakes been changed no record of them being done and they are pretty expensive on these cars. Also I noticed a lot of checkins stating transmission services such as the trans connector which can be problematic. I did not see any records of the air struts being replaced are they currently oem and or aftermarket. Any idea when they were last changed if at all. How does the car currently shift and are there any issues that you would address if you were to keep the car. Also aside from the rock chips and clear coat issues on the front bumper are there any other clear coat issues on the body of the car. Thank you$5,555 bid placed by @arnoldmorales
@Maor sure thing. Let me know of any additional questions!ok so just the normal maintenance nothing special. got it Thank you@Maor thanks for your comment! Since I purchased the car, first order or business was to do engine and trans mounts, which changed the feel of the car completely. New set of Advan Apex tires came next along with an alignment, and not too long after I installed a new Bosch alternator, which carries a lifetime warranty from FCPEuro as well as a new battery, which has a 3 year warranty. Those were the major items. I also removed the old tints, treated and hydrated the leather, as well as detailed the wheels to remove old baked on brake dust. The reason I must part with it is because I got a job opportunity in Madrid, Spain, and I will be staying there for the foreseeable future. I’d have nowhere to keep the car, and if I did, it would just sit slammed on the ground in a parking spot wasting it’s life away. This is a special car in my eyes and I would much rather have it go to a person who can use it and care for it. That’s why I turned to this enthusiast website.Good evening, what have you done to the car in the last 2 months? and what is the reason of selling in within 2 months since last purchased? Thank you@Batman7108 im not sure, I haven’t gone to get an appraisal. From what I see the roof itself works, it’s just one of the motors that appears to be blocked by something when attempting to close.Any estimate on what it will take to get the pano roof working?@Maor I recall the previous owner mentioning your interest. I had since put much love and attention into the car. I wish you luck this time my friend.I almost bought this car back in January when it was up for sale locally. maybe this will be the time .@Stathios I agree! The spec and the condition are what initially drew me to this particular example.What a gorgeous spec. Looks like my wagon@BlueridgeMB Hey! Thanks for the comment! If you look at the YouTube video attached you can see the keyless go in action, as well as the driver side seat controls, however, I have failed to demonstrate the functions of the passenger side seat controls in the video, but rest assured that it works perfectly just like every other function in the interior. There is an issue with the pano roof. It will open, but it will not close as the mechanism is getting stuck somewhere so it will have to be addressed if the breeze through your hair is important to you. As I remember Mercedes said that the whole suspension on the passenger side was replaced before they did the wheel alignment at the beginning of 2022. Im pretty sure it’s in the records. And recently on the driver side the upper ball-joint and the lower-rear control arm were replaced.$5,000 bid placed by @JudicialBranch
Any plans to demonstrate the pano roof and keyless go all working as it should? Bladders in the PSE system/seats still working? Just to double check, ya'll changed one control arm and one ball joint? MB stipulates items of that nature are always to be done in pairs FWIW. TY!
