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

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.

I do love a German wagon, but I think we'll stick with the e91.

I love wagons. I love fast wagons more. I really like the profile of these, but the interior has always seemed cheap. The prior gen's timeless design holds up better. Also, and I bet I'm not alone on this, Mercedes wheel design for performance cars peaked with the monoblocks fitted to the prior gen E55. And to FreedMike's point, you better have wrenching skills or a fat wallet. Not sure I'd want one of these unless I'm setting aside 6-7k annually. Just too much that needs maintenance to approach ownership any other way.

MaintenanceCosts Test drive, maybe not, but a promotion involving free season ski lift tickets absolutely helped persuade me to pull the trigger on a Subaru in early winter 2013.

Slavuta I never took one because $50 don't worth 2 hours of my time. I would rather lay on my sofa and watch hockey
Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh No amount of money or trinkets will get me to ''free drive'' .. almost always they will ask for contact and or insurance info making YOU the product to be resold at will. after 52 years on this earth EVERY dealership should be treated like herpes.
