Anyone know this car? Not sure it's worth £20k+ but could be interested at a sensible price.
 
The six exhaust pipes(...) look vaguely familiar from another thread, but which one escapes me.
 
That's a heap of cash for a 10 year old E55, Brabus bits or not.
 
Price depends I think if it has a the genuine K8 package aprox costs are as follows
K8 engine package €27.000
Brabus diff €4,500
Brabus exhaust € 2,900
Brabus wheels € 3,800
Brabus spoilers € 1,500
Brabus syst 3 brakes € 17,000
So could have €58,000 plus vat worth of extras on top of a high spec car .

daft...

They should have stuck with 4 and made them slightly larger IMO.
 
If its got all the Brabus options it may well be worth that.
 
I believe a forum member had one of these and sold it recently?

Do they have the standard AMG brakes and discs - if so what's the rough cost of the parts?
 
Yes, David had one (I forget his username - I don't think he frequents anymore).

I think it was a Kleeman K2 which he sold not long after Vmax in the early part of the year.
 
If they are standard amg brakes discs about £200 for pads all round and £240 for disks if they are brabus brakes around £800 for pads and £4000 for disks + vat

I've decided not to buy it now - despite being Brabus, the E-Class isn't really my thing.
 
Hi guys sorry to pull up an old thread but I have been interested in the same car but i,m totally at a loss as to how much its worth, A normal E55 with similar age mileage etc are going for circa £10k, ive spoken to the guy who ownes it and everything was done from new , or so he says but would just appreciate some advice on buying one and what people think its worth.
Thanks Matt

Its worth as much as someone wants to pay for it. :thumb:

I have a "showroom condition" E55 with 600bhp with 40k miles with MB Warranty for sale soon, imo more special then the above car.:D

To be honest - 560BHP is achieveable with some fairly basic mods and will only see noticeable results on top speed I understand.

Really, you are paying for the Kleemann bits that make it look a bit different from standard (or not great with the stupid exhausts).

As said - it is what it is worth to you.

I wouldn't pay anymore than a couple of grand more for that particular model and the differences it offers - but given the age and plate, I would think it is worth no more than £12k/£13k...

agreed in current climate...i would say £12kish tops, if proved geniune...i think it must have been for sale for some time? original post was Oct...
 
Ok thanks for that, i was thinking of doing a straight swap with my 911 C4S which i think is worth between £14-15k so i think i might keep it and hold out for abit more.:thumb:
 
Hello Acid,
