This 2005 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG is finished in striking Mars Red (590) over black Nappa leather upholstery. Powered by a 5.4-liter M113 V8 engine producing 362 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque, it is paired with a five-speed AMG SpeedShift automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels, delivering an engaging driving experience.
The exterior showcases AMG lower bodywork, fog lights, a sunroof, and quad exhaust outlets that emphasize the car’s sporty character. The front bumper cover was repainted under previous ownership, and photos reveal some scraped and chipped paint. Sitting on 18″ AMG dual-spoke alloy wheels, this C55 rides on 225/40 front and 245/35 rear Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires installed in 2018. AMG sport suspension and four-wheel disc brakes with AMG-branded calipers and cross-drilled rotors up front complete the performance package.
Inside, the cabin features heated, power-adjustable front seats upholstered in lush black Nappa leather, complemented by a split-folding rear bench. Comfort and convenience appointments include dual-zone automatic climate control, front-seat position memory, cruise control, and a power-operated rear sunshade. The multifunction, leather-wrapped steering wheel frames an AMG-branded 200-mph speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. Unfortunately, the passenger-seat adjustments have been disabled due to an electrical drain.
An aftermarket Kinivo Bluetooth adapter and an Advent monitor for front and rear cameras have been added, enhancing the car’s connectivity and safety features. The digital odometer reads approximately 35,000 miles, with around 8,000 of those added under current ownership.
Maintenance history is well documented. In 2022, the oil was changed, and both the fuel pump and battery were replaced. The valve-cover gaskets were replaced the following year. The seller acquired the car via Bring a Trailer in March 2021 and has kept it well maintained since.
Included with the sale are the owner’s manuals, two keys, service records, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title in the seller’s name. The Carfax notes no accidents or damage but does mention an open manufacturer safety recall from January 2023.
This W203 AMG C55 strikes a fine balance between performance, luxury, and exclusivity, making it an appealing choice for the discerning enthusiast.
