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! |

Editors' Picks April 2021 | Honda Accord, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and more
Tue, May 4 2021The month of April saw us award Editors' Picks status to a couple mega-luxury vehicles and a couple long-time standbys that recently went through mid-cycle refreshes. We drove plenty of other cars that didn't quite reach the bar for Editors' Picks status — BMW 4 Series, Infiniti QX55 and the Mitsubishi Outlander among others — but the four you'll see below stood out as the best this month. In case you missed our previous couple Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in April that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Aston Martin DBX 2021 Aston Martin DBX View 16 Photos Quick take: With attractive styling and a gorgeous yet functional interior, the V8-powered DBX is a legitimate crossover worthy of the Aston badge. Score: 8 What it competes with: Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 Pros: Mega style, fantastic driving dynamics, a true and faithful Aston Martin Cons: Very expensive, only average infotainment From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The DBX captures the spirit of Aston Martin in a modern crossover. That's not an easy thing to do. I expected the DBX might look the part, but lack functionality. Or it would be a decent crossover, but fall short of my idea of an Aston. The DBX did neither. It exceeded my expectations and is an entertaining vehicle to drive. The styling is interesting and evocative, and the AMG-sourced powertrain delivers proper performance. I also loaded it up with groceries and a carseat fits pretty well. Mission accomplished for Aston." In-depth analysis: 2021 Aston Martin DBX First Drive Review | A crossover that makes you forget itÂ’s a crossover  2021 Bentley Flying Spur 2021 Bentley Flying Spur V8 View 20 Photos Quick take: There are technically competitors to the Flying Spur, but nothing matches it stride-for-stride in every category. ItÂ’s the Bentley flagship product now, and it flies the brandÂ’s flag with both gusto and excellence. You can't go wrong whether you spec the W12 or V8 either.
2017 Frankfurt Motor Show | Observations on the Ferrari Portofino, Honda Urban EV and more
Wed, Sep 13 2017Related: We obsessively covered the Frankfurt Motor Show — here's our complete coverage The 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show kicked off the fall reveal season with an impressive array of powerful cars blended with forward-looking concepts. It's a seminal period for automakers, who find themselves at the intersection of disruption and opportunity. With that in mind, here are four takeaways from Frankfurt. The transformation of the curvy yet overbaked Ferrari California T into the Portofino is complete, and its coming-out party in Frankfurt served notice that Ferrari's entry-level sports car is much more formidable. There was nothing wrong with the California (and later the California T), but the Portofino features a cleaner look with stronger lines and an elegant resemblance to the rest of the Ferrari family. The California name is a good one. Used on a number of memorable cars in the 1950s and '60s, it's steeped in tradition, and certainly Ferrari will dust it off again. But switching to Portofino, the name of a scenic town in Italy, is a nice way to change the conversation and generate fresh interest in this part of the Ferrari portfolio. Man, people are stoked over the Honda Urban EV concept. Why? I assume it's the retro look that harks back to early Civics, and the lack of information about the concept itself. What people don't know, they're imagining. Honda hasn't even confirmed the range, the car is very small, and it likely won't be sold in the United States. With this dearth of facts, enthusiasts are filling in their own blanks. I guess that's OK. Count me among the intrigued. When I saw pictures of this thing early Tuesday morning, I was pretty excited, too. We do know Honda is expanding its electric strategy, and two-thirds of its new vehicles sold around the world will have some form of electrification by 2030. The Urban EV launches in Europe in 2019, and a hybrid CR-V rolls out in Europe next year. Unconfirmed for the U.S. market, it seems like a no-brainer to bring that version of the CR-V here. The electrification and autonomous tech parade of concepts continues. You gotta be there. It's the cost of doing business in the modern automotive landscape. This technology takes years to develop and launch, so the next best thing to remind the world you're trying to be cutting-edge is to show off lots of fancy concepts. Frankfurt had plenty. A couple standouts: The BMW I Vision Dynamics and Audi's Elaine and Aicon.
Mercedes rolls out the long red carpet for new Maybach S600 Pullman [w/video]
Tue, Mar 3 2015Remember when the S-Class was the S-Class and that was it? The pinnacle of the Mercedes-Benz lineup, at least as far as sedans were concerned. But those days are long behind us. Now there's a coupe as well (bringing the former CL back into the fold), a convertible on its way, the uber-luxe Maybach limo and this: the new Pullman. The creme de la creme of the Silver Star range, His Excellency Field Marshall Dr. Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman Dada – as it's known in full, at least with the twelve-cylinder engine – is... well, it's enormous. It's bigger than the old Maybach 62 it essentially replaces and bigger even than an extended-wheelbase Rolls-Royce Phantom. And why would you need a vehicle so large? Well, you wouldn't. And neither would we. But there are some, shall we call them "unelected heads of state" who would accept no less. They're the customers who favored the original, and 50 years later, they're the ones who'll be snapping up the new one. (The little wavy flags on the front fenders are optional.)
