15 CommentsPosted as: ClearPOST COMMENT June 17th, 2026 at 7:36pm ESTMbb79184 (8) 0@mikelaca unfortunately, I have only driven it about 3 miles total since acquisition. It is in line for restoration (the paint color is stunning, but it needs a few things), but there are still one or two cars in front of it, so almost there! (I hope to have it ready by February 2028). The good news is that it is in a climate controlled garage.June 17th, 2026 at 7:05pm ESTmikelaca (8) 0@mbb79184 How are you liking this car?

I’ve owned two of these. One with similar rust that took a lot of work to bring back.

Look carefully and you will see the plastic retainers that you can push up from bottom towards the roof direction and the cushion should pop up and out. Once it's out you can have it reupholstered or look for replacement.

I have same color e55 and my drivers seat cushion is ripped. Help, where can I get leather, seat bottom or seat?July 1st, 2022 at 2:43pm EST$8,055 bid placed by @Mbb79184July 1st, 2022 at 1:59pm ESTrsabeebe (4) 0wow. what a great and unique color combination. too bad it clearly did not spend most of its life in TX. would be great if someone put the effort in this to bring it back. you won't see another 210 e55 like this at every C&C.July 1st, 2022 at 1:35pm EST$5,805 bid placed by @WhesterJune 30th, 2022 at 8:58pm EST$5,555 bid placed by @ArseniRusJune 30th, 2022 at 2:49pm ESTArmenian (45) 0So here we have a very rare E55 AMG. 2002 Designo. It is full loaded from what I see,parktronic,heated/cooled vented ortho seats, navigation. Having pointed out the good now the bad, mileage is low but looks like this car needs a lot of attention to get it like new. These cars were bulletproof and I think very under appreciated that is why they were not looked after as a more exotic brand would be. So if this car was perfect with under 30k I could see $50-$60K, maybe even more but then it depends how bad the buyer wants it. The rubber moldings between the front fender and rocker panel have deteriorated and are gone but I just replaced them on my 2001 E55 Amg for $126 dollars from the dealership. I was surprised they were even able to order them but were available from MB USA. My E55 is not a "Designo" but has all the other options including an upgraded "Tele-Aide" working with lifetime subscription. I'm @20K miles on mine, still smells new. Headliner starting to come down on mine too. All in all great cars but this one needs a lot of TLC. BTW I did happen to find a COMPLETE Designo "Mocca" interior including steering wheel and door cards.

I didn’t want to rain on your listing but it does look a bit rough from some angles. still, with the recent maintenance and nice interior it’ll make a good driver for someone. I was vaguely if it was in MA, but unfortunately not in TX. Good luck!June 30th, 2022 at 1:55pm ESTalbanianbenz (26) Seller 1@MBTech96 it’s currently located in Fort Worth, TexasJune 30th, 2022 at 1:44pm ESTMBTech96 (7) 0@albanianbenz thanks for your response, keep us posted. Quick question: the auction listing doesn't appear to mention where the vehicle is located, is it currently in MA? June 30th, 2022 at 1:04pm ESTalbanianbenz (26) Seller 0@Brooks55 nice, I’d like to see it! so the car had previously had some rust spots and the whole car had been repainted, not a good paint job, then it was wet sanded and polished, so the residue is compound/polish residue shown, also not that great of a jobJune 30th, 2022 at 12:57pm ESTBrooks55 (1) 0Ohh this would look nice next to my designo graphite w211. @seller - was the paint job just done recently? Or was the car maybe wet sanded & polished? Looks to be clear coat or polish residue everywhere. In pic 74 are those tape lines on the fender? Can you speak on the
