I have decided to sell my C55.
An 05 model, in silver, with black leather.
Condition is near immaculate. I'll let the photos do most of the talking. Suffice it to say that when searching for a C55 I looked at 3 before buying this one, and the condition has only improved since then with a number of upgrades and my almost **** need to have a spotless car.
Mileage is 73k (and used daily, so increasing)
Car is about to be MOT'd, so will come with 12 months.
Taxed until end of November 2013 (cheaper road tax as pre 06 model)
Full service history, 5 Mercedes stamps, and since my ownership, serviced by Olly at PCS.
Tyres are OEM fitment Pirelli Pzero Rosso (MO) 255/35/18 & 225/40/18
I will include a second set of fully refurbished genuine AMG alloys which wear winter tyres. Due to the mild winter last year, these never even made it onto the car, although I will put them on shortly as I'll be replacing the rear Pzeros which are getting low, and will take the opportunity to have the "summer" alloys fully refurbished as well before sale.
The car benefits from secondary cat delete with custom made Y pipe from PCS. This really allows the glorious V8 to breathe. The standard car is too muted for my taste. It now sounds like a V8 ought to, yet is not at all intrusive when cruising.
I also installed top quality (Rosen) rear screens which turn this super-saloon into an ideal family conveyance. Each has it's own DVD player, and includes inbuilt games as well as wireless headphones, wireless games controllers, and remote control. One of the screens has intermittent lines on DVD playback, and most likely a loose connection which I've not bothered investigating as it's not bad enough to cause the kids to complain. I mention it for completeness.
I will include a spare steering wheel. I sourced this to enable me to have one re-wrapped. It was sent to a steering wheel magician in Germany, and the results speak for themselves. No more shiny wheel - now recovered in a combination of carbon leather, and perforated leather to match the seats.
Jerry from Eurocharged in the States has undertaken a full ECU / TCU tune.
The interior trim has been tastefully wrapped in quality 3M carbon fibre weave, although should that not be to your taste, it is easily removed.
The car has full command / sat nav as well as telephone bluetooth. I have used both iphone 4 and 5 with full access to steering wheel control phonebook / dialling / volume etc.
CD changer, together with iPod connectivity.
Full electric tilt / slide sunroof, front & rear parking sensors, electric heated seats, auto lights, auto wipers, split fold rear seats, isofix, and all the usual toys.
Mileage, which is already low, has been mainly motorway munching. The chap I bought the car from worked in Switzerland, and he put on miles driving back and forth from there.
I have spent a small fortune maintaining and improving the car during my 1.5 year ownership. Whilst I'd not use the term economical to describe any AMG, it can and does regularly return 29-30mpg on a steady motorway run even with the occasional dispatching of diesel tailgaters.
Reason for sale is the need for a GT-R, having been trying to resist the urge since driving a friend's stage 2 Litchfield conversion.
Finally, the car is covered by a full warranty. I won't be including that in the sale as I can transfer it to my new car. However, I have not had to make any claims on the policy at all. By negotiation, I will include the warranty, which for a small admin fee can be transferred to a new owner. There are 9-10 months or so remaining, and it is annually renewable, should you wish.
I am looking for £17,000, but I'll do the haggling for you and come clean - I'll take £11,999 which given the spec and condition is I think extremely fair. The spare wheels alone cost me £800 all in, and save your summer tryes at the same time as making the car a far safer place in the dark, cold months.
Any questions, I can be reached on XXXXXXXXXXXXX.
I am based in Cheltenham.
Thanks for reading.
