06 C55 AMG, 49k miles.
Black on black. Wood trim (I am told that it's "Designo Brown Poplar" trim and very rare. Most of the C55s have the aluminum trim). Moon roof. 6 CD changer. Sirius. NAV with maps updated in 2011. Factory BlueTooth system was added in 2011. 5 speed AMG "speed shift" auto with steering wheel paddles/buttons. Transmission has user selectable settings for "comfort" (starts in second gear, keeps the revs down), "sport" and "manual" (holds revs). Bi-xenon projector headlamps, fog lights, rear fog light, puddle lights under the doors.
Clean title, but lien with a local MA bank. I am the 3rd owner (first might have been a lease return) and have had the car since Jan 2011 or the last 20k miles. Been absolutely bullet proof, more reliable than my Tacoma and 4Runner - my second AMG and I am a believer in the "hand assembled" pedigree.
362HP / 372 ft-lbs (300 of those ft-lbs at under 3000 RPMs) means you will eat 911s and M3s for a light lunch (As a former M3 owner, I know). What I love about this car is that despite the power, it is a pleasant, unassuming, buttoned down daily driver. Turning radius is ridiculously good, it's comfortable, quiet except for a distant subtle rumble and the 4 doors makes it so much more usable. I have PZero all seasons on there and have driven it year round with no drama (though my 4Runner is my main winter car).
Several cool features unique to Mercs (hand-me downs from the S-class) - (you won't find these on a comparable M3 or 911):
- Navigation turn-by-turn directions will show up on the driver's instrument cluster, so you don't have to have the nav showing on the main screen.
- Turning off the key will make the steering column collapse and fold away, making exiting the car graceful and easy.
- Stopping for a few minutes doesn't reset the seat heater settings,audio and nav stays on.
- Rain-sensing and speed-sending wipers that actually work.
- Auto lights.
- Heated windshield washer fluid reservoir, so you can melt the ice faster.
- Heated head lamp washer reservoir.
- Full power seats for driver/passenger with 3 position memory that includes side mirrors.
- Auto dimming rear and side mirrors.
- Most kinds of airbags known to man. Insurance on this thing is half as much as my M3 and on par with my 4Runner.
Extras:
- Carbon fiber rear diffuser
- Carbon fiber side mirror covers
- 5.5AMG side badges
- CL-type front grill
- 30% black tint all around including strip across top of windshield.
