It may be time to move on to my next check mark on the bucket list so going to put this up for sale, but I really do enjoy the car a great deal so if it doesn’t sell, I am not complaining.

Details

2005 E55 Supercharged AMG  
Silver Exterior - 8/10 Couple parking lot marks…zero rust  
Black Interior - 9.5/10 Exceptional Condition - CD Player doesn’t work but CD Changer Does…doesn’t bother me one bit Driver side sun visor is difficult to move.  
Carbon Fiber front lip  
Rear windshield diffuser  
Panoramic Roof  
Dynamic Seats  
Heated/Cooled Seats

Has some exhaust work done…sounds great  
Pretty stock other than that.

Comes with 3 sets of wheels

19" that are on the car - Could use tires  
20" that are a little loud for my taste  
Stock AMG 18" wheels with snow tires. Brand new rears last season.

Recent Maintenace - Front Brake pads and rotors done by Blackforest along with a full synthetic oil change.  
I bought the car in January and hate it full gone through by Blackforest and the issues have been corrected (front brakes)

Issues : Passenger side auto door lock could use a relay…locks but fires several times to do so.  
Only have 1 key fob for the car.

If I were to buy a Mercedes, this would be it. Seriously looked at Steve’s in OP a couple years ago. Somebody needs to jump on this.

I have been getting some reasonable offers, but I am not in a rush to let it go just yet.

I the offers are the same in the spring, it will be time to move on.
