How's this deal?
My brother is looking for a C55 AMG and found one for $25,000 @ 28,500 miles. It's a 2006 model. Four months of warranty left. No bix's or navi.
Good price? What is usually the price range?
There's also one going 30k for asking price, similar miles, but with a navi and bix's.. I don't know how much of a talk down my brother can do on that one.
Thanks.

^ Disagree. Those E55's in that range are high mileage.
Being as I just bought one a few months ago, that looks to be "ok" - it's a little high but does have good mileage. I would spring for the BiX though, the navi looks nice but doesn't work well so that's your option. See what you can talk them down to, but low-mid 20's is what you're basically looking at.

On the $30 K, one, he's way way high. You can get a E55 for that range!!

C55 - High 20's cars were normally dealer CPO. I did see some nuts that were over 30k.

I suggest using Edmunds.com pricing. They use TMV pricing and I found them to be the most accurate...at least a few years back. I was financed to start my own used car lot (changed directions when i got a big promotion at work) and was spending great deals of time reviewing dealer auction data, private party sales and more and found TMV to be the mosdt accurate compared to KBB or NADA. I have 40+ hours into that

Do you mean an oil change? I'm not sure since there's no dipstick, I can't pull it and see how clean the oil is. The cluster says something like 9800 miles until the next service. I've got 16 quarts of M1 0W-40, so I may go ahead and change the oil to be sure. I meant to get a copy of the service work performed in the inspection, but it was getting late and I forgot.
