@zNRL buying this car for the wheels
@mercedesss1 they are the best wheels of that era!
@j_anthony great questions! any issues with the ABC? Nope! Does the car lift/drop as expected, Works perfect! and does it lower to bumpstops after being parked for more than a few days? Nope! I see the screen has some issues, does the COMAND work? Works fine, just some dead pixels And have there been any additions to the system such as bluetooth phone or audio? Nope - all factory!
All, someone asked for a cold start video. Here you go (it might still be uploading): https://youtu.be/niONY-q0o5w @thembmarket
Hey @Recco___ thanks for the question! TheMbMarket is just a platform to list a vehicle and bid on it. The inspection, transaction, delivery is all on the responsibility of the potential buyer.
@volchok_124 what is the actual mileage of the car? I think @thembmarket should update the listing as a TMU - all 1990-1994 R129 should have an analog odometer as the digital odometers did not come until 1995. Also, as @ottobenz mentioned, this is a Gulf-spec which means it probably came from the factory with a KM odometer and was swapped out at some point - is that included with the car as well? Would be a lot easier to determine the mileage
@volchok_124 do you have any documentation showing the car was ordered with the AMG parts from the factory? I have the same concerns @r129king brought up regarding the aftermarket bodykit. It is pretty easy to source a non-original bodykit with the part numbers on there still
@volchok_124 do you know why the hardtop has a headliner that is a different color than the rest of the car''s interior?
Hello folks, the auction will be ending soon. I will try and make myself available for any questions. Best of luck to all the bidders and special thank you to those who have bid thus far! @Gene3405 @Twelves @bhenry3 @2plus2 I will be rooting for the biggest wallet. :) To all the bid-snipers out there, I hope your internet connections are perfect and your mouse clicking skills are sharp :)
I would like to note that although there is no documentation for it: the previous owner assured me that the owner before him (Owner 1/2) did replace both coil packs. The closest evidence for confirming the work was done can be found on the invoice on image 119 of the gallery.
@RiceHauler thank you for the compliments! Regarding Keyless-go - right!? I was shocked, although, I personally am a big time manual-key person. I always lose keys to my cars that have Keyless-go 😅
Hi @thphon , thanks again for your question. I analyzed every receipt you specified and like I mentioned previously, the date at the too reflects the date the invoice was printed. There is no discrepancy that I can see anywhere - the mileage perfectly matches up with the vehicle and the Carfax history. In addition to that, @thembmarket has been so kind as to update the listing with the VMI from Mercedes-Benz as well. Which also tracks the mileage. If you have any further questions, you’re more than welcome to contact the shop and discuss their invoice layout with them. They are the only authorized Mercedes-Benz independent shop by the dealership in that area and have an amazing reputation. Regarding the soft close - I addressed it in my previous comment. I’ll paste here for convenience, “ Soft close pump works fine - no invoice for that, as it was a quick and free fix (just a pneumatic line that was loose on one end that needed to be secured) and that was done during my ownership. The invoices are from the previous owner.”
Thanks @thphon ! Mileage inconsistencies? Sorry I don’t see that. Maybe you’re mixing up the mileage for the rental car that was documented on some of the invoices? Feel free to cross reference with the Carfax as well. For the invoices, I believe the date on the top is the date the invoice was printed - not the date-in/date-out. Personally, I follow the invoice number and the mileage listed. Soft close pump works fine - no invoice for that, as it was a quick and free fix (just a pneumatic line that was loose on one end that needed to be secured) and that was done during my ownership. The invoices are from the previous owner.
In the coming days I will be providing the following: - Undercarriage photos - Paint meter reading photos - Test drive and walk around video
Hello Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts, I’m thrilled to present this exceptional C215 CL65 AMG, with an immaculate sunny-California history and the very sought after Distronic Plus option—a heartfelt thanks to the original owner who requested this spec! Although this coupe is nearly 20 years old, it is the pinnacle fusion of quality, performance, and luxury. Driving this has been nothing short of an absolute cloud-like experience mixed with the thrill of a supercar. There is no doubt, that this will bring joy to the next care-taker. Throughout the auction, I’ll strive to maintain transparency by promptly answering your questions and addressing any comments.

@seller if this is an original pre merger AMG R129, where is the AMG I body kit? Why convert to AMG II? Are the rims original to the car? Authentic or replicas? Can we see photos of the documentation that says it is a 6.0 amg? Thank you
Congrats @Benzforlife408, you got a steal

Hey folks, I submitted photos of the paint meter readings, the scanner results from the PPI, and photos of the literature that comes with the car and two sets of keys.
I should mention that the car received a paint correction and 10 year ceramic coating in 2021
@My380turbohey , great question! Not during our ownership and there are no signs of smokers ever being in the car.
@Adarville16Hey folks, uploaded a fresh PPI performed yesterday along side some underbody photos and a test drive video.
@Adarville16that is a receipt for service that was performed. Will be uploading a fresh PPI in the next couple of hours.
@phkiii great question! Surprisingly, that is how they came from the factory. But I encourage everyone to do their own due diligence - feel free to cross-reference other 2012 S350 BlueTEC images online.
Some things to keep an eye out for in the coming days: - Test drive video - Paint meter reading photos - Pre-purchase inspection report
W.R.T. the oil leak mentioned in the ad, it was a minor one present at the time of the submission of the car to thembmarket over a month or so ago. However I have not noticed any signs of a leak in the driveway or parking spots since then. Regarding the engine mounts - they are not noticeable during daily driving, and was something that was mentioned by the Mercedes-Benz dealership at the last service when they did a visual inspection. I will have a PPI done on the car for this auction in the next day or so.
@Ramrattan thank you for the bids! Good luck! @Seattlegearhead Thank you for the bid! Absolutely have 100% confidence in this making the drive from here to Seattle! @GoBoGo the door only comes up that way on camera for some reason. Not detectable in-person.
Hello Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts, I'm thrilled to present this exceptional W221 S350 Bluetec, packed with an array of desirable options.

Will they fit an 07 e63?
Wow, this is beautiful, lovely, powerful, and economical all at the same time. Sorry that you have to let her go BL! @blakleyleonard
SOLD! Congrats @SFNBNZ ! This is a big moment for the E55 market
Reserve has been met everybody! This car is going to a new home!
Also, to give everyone an idea - I just got a quote for transport using my broker for one of the bidders from my zip code, to their zip code in New York: $1100 -$1500 based on the most recent history of similar tows That’s actually an amazing quote from what I hear!
Hey folks, I’ll be constantly refreshing this page in the last few minutes here!
Also worth mentioning, not all E55s are the same. It took me over 1 year of searching literally day and night to find one that was clean and well-cared for. I test drove over 10 of them and almost every single one was either molested/abused or highly neglected. A cousin of mine recently bought one with under 120k miles. And although it had every performance mod you could do - it took an electrical crap just recently for it being neglected in certain areas by previous owners. I don’t think I will ever find one in this condition again. I am confident this car has not even reached it’s half-life.
@justshay couldn’t agree more! Although, every car has it’s own market and fans. I have owned over 30 enthusiast-type german cars in the last 3 years. This is, without a doubt, the best car I have ever driven. And with almost 200k! It literally tears me apart to let this go. But such is life!
@thembmarketthanks guys
The folks at theMBmarket are going to upload the photos for us.
@Ohai yes! Sorry. MB market doesn’t give me an option to upload photos that I can see. I reached out to them to see if they can upload. If you want, you can send me your info and I can send it to you directly.
@Heca10messaged you
Hey there folks, today is the last day of the auction! I will try to answer any questions and address any concerns as quickly as I can. May your wallets be as fast as the m113 kompressor!
@Qualulesjust checked with the local MB Indy shop, they quoted less than $500 for everything including parts
@Qualules absolutely, I would not mind getting those addressed post-auction or at the very least, aid in sourcing parts. This particular car has never had to worry about -20f weather as it has been in California since new, so I could see how that could be a point of concern.
@Heca10 of course!. Please send me a message with your contact info and I will reach out
Hey folks, For post auction pickup/transport - since I will be out of the country on the 7th, I will still be point of contact. However, just in case, I will have the title pre-signed and one of my relatives can help with physical logistics if the car needs to be picked up while I am gone. There will be no need to wait for me to come back on the 20th to complete the transaction. Some things I have found helpful based on my past auctions from this auction and other ones like it, I find the following methods to be the simplest and easiest: For payment: cash, cashier’s check, wire, Zelle, and/or Cash App For pickup: Auction winner physically coming to get the car or using a transporter to pick the car up for them. For transporters, I have a transport broker that I can recommend that I have used for the last several years that has helped myself, many of my colleagues, friends, family, and clients. They give free quotes and have always helped me find the most reasonable rate to tow/transport a car no matter the distance. Hope this helps!
@Ohaiheader leak is a no issue according to the MB mechanic I bought it from and my Indy shop mechanic - just noise. You can hear it in the test drive video. This might sound strange, but it grew on me and I personally like it, gives it a muscular characteristic. SBC - not to my knowledge, and I have not had any issues with it in my ownership.
@FatjakeI shared the auction link in an online E55 AMG group. Nick Conforti commented, “As a very high mileage AMG owner, I can say this one looks great for 200k miles and the service records are a great piece of mind! Would make for a great daily driver…Currently have 462k miles on our 2003 E55 and it’s our daily driver 💪🏻”.
@Fatjakethe m113 is one of the best, most reliable, and longest lasting motors that Mercedes-Benz ever built. I personally know several owners who have surpassed 400,000 miles. It is not uncommon to see folks on the forums with m113k engines that are well into the 300s. Here is a video from a popular Youtuber who talks a bit more about the m133k platform: https://youtu.be/Gb32BwQMbho
Thanks for bidding @dirtynails44 ! Hope yours will Be clean if you end up becoming the next owner of this amazing machine!
Hello MB enthusiasts, I am excited to represent this awesome example of a W211 E55. It’s no secret that the E55 is one of the best MBs ever built – an overall well balanced vehicle in design, performance, and luxury. It took me over a year of searching day and night to find an E55 that had good maintenance history and WASN’T overly-modded, throttle-abused, or neglected. This car has been an absolute pleasure to experience. This chassis coupled with the the M113k makes this car so wonderful to own and I am sure will delight the next enthusiast. I will be as transparent as possible in answering any questions throughout the auction and will do my best in addressing any comments. If you are local to the area, please feel free to contact me and I would be delighted to show the car or offer a test drive. For anyone out of town, I am happy to do a virtual/FaceTime appointment. Also, just a quick side note, I will be out of the country from Jan 7th - Jan 20th. Thanks for looking and bidding, thesheikh

As we approach the final hours of the auction, I just want to say thank you all to those who have participated so far. Especially those who have come to see the car in person. I also would like to encourage any folks who have bookmarked this listing - now is your chance to bid! May the one who admires this car the most, win!
@c1096306great question! No there will not be any extra fees from our end.
@99amgc43as @49er said, I believe you can buy them new from MB. Much more cost effective to save this one though. It is definitely repairable and I got quotes from $400-600
@Graves12yes, very sad to see her go! The next owner is in for a treat. Nothing but compliments every time this car sees sunshine!
@Floater I see what you did there!
@Malekabdalla thanks for bidding a few times! let me know if you have any questions!
@krmnvbest of luck bidding!
@Sean007zit’s an auction! The bidders will determine that!
@ChrisM3thanks so much! Fee free to share with folks who might be interested!
We are excited to represent this excellent example of an R129 as our first MB Market auction. This SL500 has been mostly garage kept and well maintained its entire life. It is a fully spec'd out model featuring the sport package, heated seats, xenon headlamps and factory pano top. There were only 4,103 firmweiss (143) R129s ever produced in the world. And one can imagine that these options were extremely rare paired with this color spec. We are firm believers that the R129 is one of the greatest Mercedes ever built – an overall well balanced vehicle in design, performance, and comfort. This chassis coupled with the buttery smooth M113 makes for a great daily driving experience for anyone. Good luck to everyone and may the MB Market counter be in your favor! Best, thesheikh

W.R.T. the oil leak mentioned in the ad, it was a minor one present at the time of the submission of the car to thembmarket over a month or so ago. However I have not noticed any signs of a leak in the driveway or parking spots since then. Regarding the engine mounts - they are not noticeable during daily driving, and was something that was mentioned by the Mercedes-Benz dealership at the last service when they did a visual inspection. I will have a PPI done on the car for this auction in the next day or so.2012 Mercedes-Benz S350 BlueTEC 4MATIC

Hello Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts, I'm thrilled to present this exceptional W221 S350 Bluetec, packed with an array of desirable options. This vehicle epitomizes the perfect fusion of style, performance, and luxury. After an extensive search, I finally found an S350 Bluetec with coveted features such as Distronic Plus, massaging front seats, rare wheels, parking sensors, and lane keep assist—a heartfelt thanks to the original owner! It has been an absolute joy to experience. The seamless integration of the S-Class suspension and the power of the OM642 engine makes this car a delight to own and will undoubtedly bring joy to the next enthusiast. Throughout the auction, I'll strive to maintain transparency by promptly answering your questions and addressing any comments. If you're local, I invite you to contact me for a personal viewing or test drive. For those located outside the area, I'm more than happy to arrange a virtual/FaceTime appointment.

thesheikh said:
Also worth mentioning, not all E55s are the same. It took me over 1 year of searching literally day and night to find one that was clean and well-cared for. I test drove over 10 of them and almost every single one was either molested/abused or highly neglected. A cousin of mine recently bought one with under 120k miles. And although it had every performance mod you could do - it took an electrical crap just recently for it being neglected in certain areas by previous owners. I don’t think I will ever find one in this condition again. I am confident this car has not even reached it’s half-life.2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG
thesheikh said:
@justshay couldn’t agree more! Although, every car has it’s own market and fans. I have owned over 30 enthusiast-type german cars in the last 3 years. This is, without a doubt, the best car I have ever driven. And with almost 200k! It literally tears me apart to let this go. But such is life!2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG

@Qualulesjust checked with the local MB Indy shop, they quoted less than $500 for everything including parts2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG
thesheikh said:
@Qualules absolutely, I would not mind getting those addressed post-auction or at the very least, aid in sourcing parts. This particular car has never had to worry about -20f weather as it has been in California since new, so I could see how that could be a point of concern.2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG

Hey folks, For post auction pickup/transport - since I will be out of the country on the 7th, I will still be point of contact. However, just in case, I will have the title pre-signed and one of my relatives can help with physical logistics if the car needs to be picked up while I am gone. There will be no need to wait for me to come back on the 20th to complete the transaction. Some things I have found helpful based on my past auctions from this auction and other ones like it, I find the following methods to be the simplest and easiest: For payment: cash, cashier’s check, wire, Zelle, and/or Cash App For pickup: Auction winner physically coming to get the car or using a transporter to pick the car up for them. For transporters, I have a transport broker that I can recommend that I have used for the last several years that has helped myself, many of my colleagues, friends, family, and clients. They give free quotes and have always helped me find the most reasonable rate to tow/transport a car no matter the distance. Hope this helps!2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG

@Ohaiheader leak is a no issue according to the MB mechanic I bought it from and my Indy shop mechanic - just noise. You can hear it in the test drive video. This might sound strange, but it grew on me and I personally like it, gives it a muscular characteristic. SBC - not to my knowledge, and I have not had any issues with it in my ownership.2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG

@FatjakeI shared the auction link in an online E55 AMG group. Nick Conforti commented, “As a very high mileage AMG owner, I can say this one looks great for 200k miles and the service records are a great piece of mind! Would make for a great daily driver…Currently have 462k miles on our 2003 E55 and it’s our daily driver 💪🏻”.2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG
thesheikh said:
@Fatjakethe m113 is one of the best, most reliable, and longest lasting motors that Mercedes-Benz ever built. I personally know several owners who have surpassed 400,000 miles. It is not uncommon to see folks on the forums with m113k engines that are well into the 300s. Here is a video from a popular Youtuber who talks a bit more about the m133k platform: https://youtu.be/Gb32BwQMbho2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG

Hello MB enthusiasts, I am excited to represent this awesome example of a W211 E55. It’s no secret that the E55 is one of the best MBs ever built – an overall well balanced vehicle in design, performance, and luxury. It took me over a year of searching day and night to find an E55 that had good maintenance history and WASN’T overly-modded, throttle-abused, or neglected. This car has been an absolute pleasure to experience. This chassis coupled with the the M113k makes this car so wonderful to own and I am sure will delight the next enthusiast. I will be as transparent as possible in answering any questions throughout the auction and will do my best in addressing any comments. If you are local to the area, please feel free to contact me and I would be delighted to show the car or offer a test drive. For anyone out of town, I am happy to do a virtual/FaceTime appointment. Also, just a quick side note, I will be out of the country from Jan 7th - Jan 20th. Thanks for looking and bidding, thesheikh1991 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16v Evo II Tribute

We are excited to represent this excellent example of an R129 as our first MB Market auction. This SL500 has been mostly garage kept and well maintained its entire life. It is a fully spec'd out model featuring the sport package, heated seats, xenon headlamps and factory pano top. There were only 4,103 firmweiss (143) R129s ever produced in the world. And one can imagine that these options were extremely rare paired with this color spec. We are firm believers that the R129 is one of the greatest Mercedes ever built – an overall well balanced vehicle in design, performance, and comfort. This chassis coupled with the buttery smooth M113 makes for a great daily driving experience for anyone. Good luck to everyone and may the MB Market counter be in your favor! Best, thesheikh
