1999 Mercedes-Benz

For sale is my very rare 1999 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG Estate.

It has racked up just over 200, 000 miles in it’s 22 years on UK roads. Service history is stamped until 168, 000 miles and self serviced since. I also have plenty of receipts and paperwork for it.

Condition wise, I would refer to this car as honest and charming. Cosmetically, it is presentable however there are a few things that could do with addressing. I would advise you replace or repair the drivers door due to rust as well as a front wing. Spares are out there so this would be relatively inexpensive and easy to do. You could also refurb the wheels if you really wanted to push the boat out. None of the above ‘need’ doing, I’d just advise it to make the car look more presentable. The interior is in good condition and everything works in there.

Mechanically, it’s solid. The M113 engine is very refined, yet still a powerhouse. The gearbox is smooth and surprisingly quick to respond. There are no knocks and bangs. The only thing that will need doing is potentially a new ABS sensor as the ABS and traction control warning lights have come on for an unknown reason, but the car completed a 100 mile drive home, so it’s no serious concern and cheap enough to sort.

All in all though, It’s a cheap but extremely cool AMG with plenty of life left in it. If you want a road going battle panzer which will surprise Golf R’s, whilst carrying your entire family and 2 labradors in the boot for a fraction of its original asking price, then this is the car for you.
