Not often you see an E55 with such low mileage let alone an Estate E55!

I'd reckon though you might find yourself competing with some specialist dealers on this, so I doubt it will go cheap. Not least because I've now made more people aware of it by posting it up - woops!

People get silly about rare low mileage stuff at auction so don't expect that'll be a bargain!

Especially at Blackbushe
Add the buyer's premium and as a private punter and you'd probably be better off with one from a dealer with a test drive and warranty. Anyone going to be there to let us know what it makes?

You're bang on the truth with that statement

Think this one needs a wide berth - it's a pretty tatty grade 5 (1-5 with 5 being the worst). Quite a bit of rust, badly scuffed and cracked bumpers.

It's also pre-facelift. And it's only had one recorded service in it's 12 year life at 36k miles. Also the MOT has expired.

Still keen?

 

[nullogik]

How do you get that extra info? Is it part of a paid-for package?

Well I was down at Blackbushe today and had a look at this very sad E55....essentially the only panel that wouldn't need work was the roof.....from there down the car needed a full respray if you wanted it to look the part.

I didn't bother waiting to see how it was when started up, as the bodywork was too much of an issue and judging by prices down at Blackbushe today, I suspect that this E55 would have gone for a price in excess of its true value in its current condition.

I know someone who saw it go through and the hammer price was £3250. Add buyers fee and you have a very expensive and crap E55, low mileage or not.

I know this is an old thread but there are a couple of low(ish) mileage facelift S210 E55's on pistonheads.

It also seems to have lost 1000 miles

 

[jaymanek]

He will never get that... However he has likely spent a couple of K getting it right.

 

[timk]

Worth noting the ad states FSH, yet it went through the auction with only 1 service on record.

 

[jaymanek]

He probably traced the history.. Auctions wont even bother to look for it in the glove box if its not handed in at the counter.

 

[Vlad]

Wow they must have sunk some money into that, considering every panel but the roof, needed serious paint.....looks very nice now, considering the dreadful state it was in.

 

[Smarties]

If they have done a good job, that is a rather special car now. And the price doesn't look far wrong either.
