Curious as to how and why this car moved from Hawaii ( where I live and saw it a few times) to Georgia. And where are the maintenance records. Motor and Tranny mounts, Valve gaskets, serpentine belt, brakes?
That would be a "non answer" or BS for "No those items have not been addressed".
Have the motor and tranny mounts been replaced? When was the last time the brakes and tranny were flushed? Valve gaskets replaced?
Is there a reserve on this?
Tranny mounts do not appear to have been replaced. Have they?
Congratulations Borealis! You are going to love her
If you are a bidder please ask away. I want you to know what you are getting. And you will be pleasantly surprised!
@Pimpa7755There is one photo of the leather. Both front seats are clean, no tears. The covers have been on for the last 50,000 miles and 10 years. There are no cracks in the wood inserts. There is a slight amount of peeling on the edges where the wood meets the plastic frame.
@ariotofmyownCorrect. 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.
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.
The Idaho title and registration is current and in my name, Richard Brooke.. I own businesses in Idaho and residences in California and Hawaii.
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
@BorealisThe 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.
@MfcharronThey 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.
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.
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.
Thank you all for your interest. These cars deservedly have a cult following. Just not enough paying attention here. I will try again in the future as values go up
@Rockster80The car was perfect except for some sand and road rash on the front bumper and hood...tiny little pits until....the photo shoot. I noticed in the photos that little crease on the right side. I am in Hawaii. The car is in Calif so I have not been able to inspect it post photo shoot. A few people that i asked to look at is said the crease was barely noticeable but it had to have happened during the photo shoot. No one else has been in the car. I had it delivered this morning to the body shop that resprayed the right side for the key incident. They are going to fix the crease, the rear bumper smudge, sand, prime and respray the front hood and bumper so the car will bel clean from front to back. There is no bondo on the car. No accidents.
@mlewis207I should have some undercarriage shots by tomorrow.
@mlewis207 I do not have any undercarriage shots but I can assure you it is clean. The springs have never come up on the service reviews.

Whenever I take it in, I ask them to drive it intensely and propose repairs as if it was their own. It rides solid and smooth on smooth pavement. It does not prefer rough pavement triggers a few interior rattles
@YeezersPlease email me at [email protected] and we will get that done.
Thank you for viewing my E55. I have owned it for about 10 years and 50,000 miles in Coeur d Alene, Idaho and mostly Carmel, Calif. I am 68. I have owned dozens of cars. This is the flatest cornering, fastest and quietest sedan I have ever owned. The acceleration stuns people. It was the fastest production sedan in the world when introduced. Contrary to the faster 2003-2006 E55s, the 1999-2002's are hand built and solid as a rock. If you research the common repairs of these hand built units vs the supercharged later versions the differences in what keeps failing in the newer ones is staggering....from fuel systems to fuel tanks, electronics, interiors, brakes and suspension. in 10 years, all I have had to do is basic wear items and maintenance....about $2,000 a year. The tires are 2021's and have about 5,000 miles on them. The sheep skin covers have been on for 10 years. The leather seats are in great shape...no tears. The Blaupunkt is new and bluetooth enabled. I added the small hitch but never used it. Motor mounts, trans mount, serpentine, valve cover seals and the most common wear parts and are all relatively new. I live on the small island of Lanai in Hawaii now....speed limit 35 mph and only 20 miles of paved roads. It is our permanent and last home. It is time for the E55 to find a loving home. It is stored in Merced, Calif
