2001 Mercedes-benz E55 Amg Base Sedan 4-door 5.5l on 2040-cars
Ardmore, Pennsylvania, United States
This is my personal E55 up for
sale! I just bought another car and I
don’t have space for two, so I am very reluctantly selling it. For those that don’t know, the W210 E55
AMG is amongst the best value-for-money AMGs, period. In fact, few other cars offer the same blend
of outright performance, quality build, practicality, and reliability that come
as neatly wrapped as the W210 E55 package.
They’re fast and bullet-proof and don’t have the expensive and frequent
repair issues of the W211s (2003-2006) E55s, especially the $1,000/ corner Airmatic
DC shocks. Since fewer than 2,000 cars were
imported to the USA, there is only a small number of well-documented low
mileage examples left. In this case, I bought the car from the
original owning family in Miami. All
major service history is documented since new.
The prior owner pampered the car and it really shows. It’s highly unlikely that you will find
a car with so few miles, no accident history and a complete service
history. This E55 is truly a rare find. Exterior The car is finished in Obsidian Metallic
on black interior as opposed to the majority of cars which are silver or 040
Black. The paint is glossy wet and in excellent condition. The previous owner
was meticulous with the car. Fortunately, it shows! One of the reasons I picked
this car, is because it hides dirt and dust better than black, and it's in
pristine condition! I use Meguiars car wash, Zymol wax and Liquid Glass auto polish
that is used on airplanes. (clearly I have praaablems) The paint doesn't have
any swirls, scratches or dings, and the body is pretty straight! The car has also never been in any accidents
and has a clean CarFax. Interior The interior is finished in black nappa
leather. The seats are soft and supple with perforations. The seats don't have
any tears, rips, stains, blemishes, or show any signs of neglect. The carpet
inside is as fresh as it is when it was new. There aren't any stains, rips,
spills, or holes in the carpet. I also purchased genuine Mercedes-Benz all
weather floor mats to protect the interior if it was raining, and just to
protect the floor mats that are in the car. I also purchased a custom fitted
sun shade to help protect the car from heat and the rays from the sun. The wood
in the car is a Black Birds-Eye Maple. I like the color because it blends in
well with the black upholstery. The
seats were treated with Leatherique® by hand and no expense was spared for
mechanical maintenance. Mechanical What can I say? When I bought this car, I
had the prior owner furnish all of the service records, which I still
have. I’m happy to furnish a summary of
work done to date. I feel that with this calibre of a car, it's SO important to
know the history! Another reason I bought it from a private seller who was a
stickler for maintenance. So, since I've
had it, the only thing I've had done is the typical belt-tensioner and
serpentine belt ($700) and the trunk lock, which died ($800). The prior owner replaced a variety of
things, including the all-important A/C Evaporator for a whopping $3,000. This is the Achilles heel of the W210 chassis
and every car seems to need a new one at one point or another. The regularly gets 24mpg on the highway,
which is awesome for a 5.5L V8 engine!
To my knowledge, the car appears to need nothing more than a new home. And since it's safely parked in my
driveway, until the new owner comes to get it, it won’t need attention. I
always run Premium unleaded in this car, and I spare no expense to ensure its
upkeep. This is my 16th Mercedes I've owned. So, I'm not just an individual
with a "Benz" in the driveway. I'm the kind of individual that keeps
his cars squared away and clean. I believe in preventative maintenance rather
than repetitive maintenance. Should you need an inspection, I would be more
than happy to take it to a Mercedes-Benz dealer (at your expense) for a
"pre-purchase inspection" Tyres Tyres on this car are in great
condition. They are top-of-the line Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ($1,100) and were
installed just before I bought the car. The Fine Print Okay, so here's the deal. If you've
gotten this far, it's obvious that you are serious about my car I have tried to describe everything to
the best of my knowledge, and I don't have anything to hide. If you have
questions, I would be glad to answer them for you. My name is Farra and my cell
number is 610-389-4329. If I don't answer, please leave me a message. I will
call you back. As far as price goes, I believe it is priced quietly fairly
given its pedigree. You can buy a cheaper one, sure. But you really do get what you pay for. This car is not just an AMG that has
been bought and sold by an independent dealer that doesn't have a solid paper
trail. If you want a car that has no books and records, you will pay for it...not
now, but in the long run in maintenance. If you haven't checked on what an
evaporator (common problem) on this car is, it's not a $500 deal...try $4,000.00!
So, if you want a damn good solid car, then here ya go! I have a free and clear title in hand. If
you buy the car, you will have to get a temporary plate through your DMV or PA
DMV if you plan on driving it out of state or anywhere at that matter. Shipping If you plan on coming to Philly, I would
be glad to coordinate a time to pick you up from either airport. If you have a
shipper and want to ship it, I would be glad to meet them if needed close to
the house so they can load it on the truck. I will do the inspection with the
driver before it goes on the truck so that everything is legit. I'm flexible
with whatever you want to do, just let me know. The car is being sold by me,
and I am not a dealer or a third party. The car is being sold AS/IS-WHERE/IS,
and no warranties are implied. If you need a shipper, I will be glad to help
you. I wish everyone the best of luck, and
you won't be sorry! |

Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut
Tue, 15 Apr 2014Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
Boston bombers were tracked using Mercedes mbrace [w/video]
Sun, 28 Apr 2013We now know Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two brothers said to be behind the Boston Marathon bombings, planned to head for New York City to detonate more improvised explosive devices. As it turns out, that plan was foiled by the quick thinking of one Mercedes-Benz owner, diligent police work and the Mercedes-Benz mbrace system. When the brothers carjacked a 26-year-old Chinese entrepreneur identified only as "Danny," they didn't realize his Mercedes-Benz M-Class was equipped with the mbrace system, which can call for help in the event of an accident or track the vehicle in the event of a theft.
According to reports, the Tsarnaev brothers held Danny hostage for nearly 90 minutes while they drove around Boston forming a plan until they had to stop for fuel. When one of the brothers went inside to pay, the other put his gun down for a moment. Danny took the opportunity to unlatch his seat belt, open the door and run to another nearby gas station, where he told the owner to call the police.
When police arrived, they used the mbrace system to track the SUV after receiving Danny's permission, and it wasn't long before a shootout between police and the brothers ensued. When it was over, the eldest brother lay dead in the street. For more on the story, view the video report available below.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
