Used Car of the Day: 2004 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG
Few 20-year-old cars with 200K miles on the odometer could make me take notice. This 2004 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG is one of them.
The seller says it has been, until recently, a daily driver and that the paint and interior are "flawless". Apparently it has been stored indoors since being discontinued as a daily.
One yellow/red flag is that the car has been in an accident and carries a salvage title, though the seller says all repairs were done "professionally."
The car has been repainted a different color and the seller has all receipts and records. It's loaded in terms of options.
The asking price is $29,000. Click here to see more photos and details of this California-based car.

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.
