Hi, am looking to do the same myself, find a C55. Did you look into the add for the (56 plate) silver saloon, what did you think?

Thanks

There's a nice estate on auto trader for £8750

If I didn't have the 300c estate I'd probably have it myself

Seller has really gone to town with the pictures

Where's it located , any one know ?

Yeah that's the issue the advert sucks! Definitely need a full inspection if I was to view!

so ive enquired about 2; the one on AT and the one being offered at belle vue through the bca auction house

the bca one has patchy history and based on the appraisal has some fairly ropey bodywork

the original supplying dealer was chester and the car is being sold by inchcape retail. could have been taken in by mb chester as a px against something else.

I spoke to the vendor of the one on AT. he mentioned it had been keyed on the left flank and after that I told him its not for me. he bought it off a friend. he is missing the service book I believe.

still looking....

im specifically in the market for an estate but the one above is the best one by far for sale currently at least on paper....the fact that its not sold shows how slow the market is!

Plenty, well, 4 or so saloons currently available but the estate's never seem to come up.

I'd be interested too if the right one came up so we may have a fight on our hands!

Prefacelift 203's were C32's, facelifted 203's were C55's.

Prefacelift 203's were C32's, facelifted 203's were C55's.

There were some very, very late C32's that were facelifted around early 2004 and look very similar (clear headlights etc) to the C55.

This is true. I was stuck on the M23 traffic works last week. The car on my inside was a silver C32 Estate that looked identical (colour allowing) to my C55 Estate. The only obvious difference being the single twin exhaust.
