Feeler and Advice.. Should I or Shouldn't I???

Hey Guys....

I have owned my 2005 C55 for about 6 months now, but have the itch and have been looking at the 05-06 E55.

I do quite a bit of driving for work and while the C55 does get better gas mileage, I feel the extra room and comforts of the E55 might be a better fit... Oh and the power cant hurt...

What do you think?

I would need to sell my C55 though.

I am looking to get around 31K for it...

What do you think?

Price is probably a bit high given the fact that you can get an equivalent e55 for that kind of money. Sad, I know. OTOH, your market may be different ... Oh, and the mods are not going to get you any more money.

Honestly keep the C unless you really want the E or got extra money to blow on it and not have to worry.

Spot on. I just picked up an 06 E55 and have to sell my C32. I'm in no rush, but expect it to be slow going...
