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!

Mercedes to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Looks 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.

Car technology I'm thankful and unthankful for

Mon, Nov 27 2017

The past few years have seen a surge of tech features in new vehicles — everything from cloud-based content to semi-autonomous driving. While some of it makes the driving experience better, not all tech is useful or well thought out. Automakers who are adept at drivetrains, ride quality and in-cabin comforts often fail at infotainment interfaces and connectivity. From testing dozens of vehicles each year and in the spirit of gratitude, here are three car tech features I'm thankful — and a trio I could live without. Thanks Connected search: This seems like a no-brainer since everyone already has it on their smartphones, but not all automakers include it in the dashboard and as part of their nav systems. The best ones, such as Toyota Entune, leverage a driver's connected device to search for a range of services and don't charge a subscription or require a separate data plan for the car. I also like how systems like Chrysler Uconnect use Yelp or other apps to find everything from coffee to gas stations and allow searching via voice recognition. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: It took two of the largest tech companies to get in-dash infotainment right. While they have their disadvantages (you're forced to use Apple Maps with CarPlay, for example), the two smartphone-integration platforms make it easier and safer to use their respective native apps for phoning, messaging, music and more behind the wheel by transferring a familiar UI to the dashboard — with no subscription required. Heated seats and steering wheels: I really appreciate these simple but pleasant features come wintertime. It's easy to get spoiled by bun-warmers on frosty mornings and using a heated steering wheel to warm the cold hands. I recently tested a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 Coupe that also had heated armrest that added to a cozy luxury experience. Bonus points for brands like Buick that allow setting seat heaters to turn on when the engine is remotely started. No thanks Automaker infotainment systems: Automakers have probably poured millions into creating their own infotainment systems, with the result largely being frustration on the part of most car owners. And Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming along to make them obsolete. While some automaker systems, such as Toyota Entune and FCA's Uconnect, are easy and intuitive to use, it seems that high-end systems (I'm looking at you BMW iDrive and Mercedes-Benz COMAND) are the most difficult.
