2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 4dr AMG Sdn 5.5L

2006 Mercedes Benz C55 AMG, 5.5L V8, Kleeman Cams, Clean AZ Car, Low Production

Canyon State Classics brings to market a very clean and rare-colored Mars Red Mercedes Benz C55. AMG-spec C-Classes have always been great drivers, but the mix was never quite right. The original six-cylinder C36 (1995) was pricey and didn't pack enough punch. The C43 (1998) got it right with V-8 power, but was stuck with bland styling. The 2002 C32 AMG received a new bod, and its blown 3.2-liter V-6 had all kinds of punch, yet lacked cachet. It all comes together for 2005 in the C55 AMG, which combines an updated, upgraded C-Class platform and interior with a burbling, handbuilt, 362-horse V-8. It's a torquester, too, with a 376-pound-feet peak at 4000 rpm, nearly 300 of it on hand by just 2000 revs.

This two owner AMG was purchased new at Chapman Mercedes in Tucson AZ on June 23, 2006. The selling dealer serviced the car diligently and took it back in on trade in November of 2014 at 83k miles.The car was sold again a month later and it continued to be enjoyed and serviced in Tucson AZ. This car has always been serviced at Chapman Mercedes and Autohaus Tucson as it was garage kept. Total production of the US Spec C55 for 2006 was limited to only 451 units. Of those units, its believed that Mars Red is the rarest color and that a low double-digit amount were ever put on the road. Dont miss out on your chance to own this well maintained Mars Red AMG!
