To buy or not to buy
I have a 05 c55 that I leased 2 years ago. The lease ends in October and I do not really want to turn the car in. It has been a flawless car and it is perfect condition with only 3800 miles on the odo I've had many mbs over the years and this is my favorite every thing about the car is spot on .Anyway,I can buy the car for 36000 and just wanted to know what others think

Damn... 3800 miles for 2 years.... why did you buy / lease the car at the first place? j/k

Buy it... you'll never be able to get 3800 fully loaded C55 for $36K.... or at least buy it and then sell it... I think you should still be able to get around $40-45K for it.

Absolutely buy it, even if you have to take out a loan. Stick it on
AutoTrader. I would be shocked if you didn't clear $5000.

By the way, we would love to hear from you over on the W211 forum. We're all dying to read your "road test" of your new E550.

I wouldn't think twice about buying it. You can even keep it for a year and still make money selling it. Provided you keep the low milage.
