2001 Mercedes-benz E55 Amg Base Sedan 4-door 5.5l on 2040-cars
Ardmore, Pennsylvania, United States
|
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! |

Brabus to storm Geneva with 800-hp version of Mercedes SL65 AMG
Wed, 27 Feb 2013At no point during our recent drive of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG did we ever think, "You know, this thing sure is slow." After all, Merc's range-topping SL comes fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 capable of sending 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. But just in case you're still all "meh" about what the SL65 throws down, Brabus will gladly come to your rescue with this, the 800 Roadster.
As its name suggests, the 800 Roadster ups the V12's power figures to 800 horsepower and - wait for it - 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Don't get too excited, though - that torque number has been electronically limited to a measly 811 lb-ft since, you know, the transmission would probably explode if you tried to put the full force through it. Nevertheless, these represent increases of 79 hp and 73 lb-ft over the standard SL65, and that means the 800 Roadster can shoot to 62 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds - two-tenths of a second quicker than the Merc its based on. More impressively, hitting 124 mph takes just under 10 seconds, and the droptop will finally top out at an electronically limited - limited! - 217 mph. Holy smokes.
To manage all of that speed, Brabus has engineered a special carbon fiber aero kit that reduces lift, and a unique control module for the SL65's active body control suspension lowers the ride height by one full inch. The 800 Roadster rides on new 20-inch wheels, and a unique limited-slip rear differential was added, featuring a 40 percent locking rate that further enhances performance when you're attempting to control the beast at its limits. Interior upgrades include new leather and alcantara surfaces throughout the cabin, including a leather-clad trunk.
Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Maybe you saw our recent blog snippet on a bunch of US journos getting pulled over in the middle of nowhere in Catalunya, Spain for driving a bunch of new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG models. By all accounts, they weren't speeding - which makes me softly guffaw. I was there in that group, yet I had taken the more direct route into the mountains from Barcelona so that I could... well, so that I could go faster. No one hassled me and I had the Autovia all to myself. And it was the goodniks - the team players - who got nabbed because Spain had decided to suddenly enforce the never enforced "must carry an international driver's license" clause of the highway code.
The departing E63 AMG with 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its M157 5.5-liter biturbo V8 hasn't exactly been poorly received. It isn't as crisp as, nor as pleasantly evil as its C63 AMG kid brother, but we generally accept that the heavier and larger car will always feel, well, heavier and larger.
As part of the 2014 E-Class mid-cycle redesign, Affalterbach decided to give its E63 AMG more power and torque for the occasion. The base car now gives off 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, while the hotter S version I tested (formerly the AMG Performance Pack) produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. The other big novelty is that E63 sedans will be available with both rear- and all-wheel drive, while all US-spec E63 wagons will be 4Matic equipped.
