Ah yes, the modern performance wagon. Enthusiasts tend to love these cars, and that is true of the 2006 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG wagon.


This one has 146,500 miles on it and it's apparently one of less than 200 sold in the U.S. Our seller says its been well taken care of -- but he or she did switch the front clip out with an E63.

Mods include an ECU tune, long tube headers with cat delete, a smaller diameter supercharger pulley, upgraded front struts, and a lowered height.

There's more at the listing.

The asking price is $30,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  • SPPPP Well, at least it lets you select the brake regen level. I hate that dash, though.
  • Bkojote Wow, I can use the touch screen to adjust the steering wheel and oh my god i'm in hell.
  • Bkojote Without "Allison" I'll be forced to sit on the "non commercial" side of the truck stop diner and will be laughed at by all the real truckers because I can't tell them I've 'basically got the same transmission' as their Freightshaker. I still owe 85k on my Duramax. Please help.
  • ToolGuy™ Thanks Trump.
  • Bkojote I once saw a hacker documentary where the guy said "a gigabyte of RAM will do the trick" and was able to access the mainframe. So the solution is simple: ban RAM.
