Buying A Used 2010 e550 Coupe

Hi guys,

I've always owned a BMW ... But may be going to be a Benz convert very soon :-)

I am looking at a 2010 e550 Coupe.... 25,000 miles for $28,000. I am in California

I think 2 owners so I will be third. Current owned bought it CPO from a dealership. He has service records.

The car looks like its in great condition. I haven't had a technician look at it, just myself... But at 25,000, there really can't anything be too serious wrong with it, right? Owner also says it's in great condition. It's just rarely driven.

Is this a good buy? Or should I be inspecting it more? What do you guys think? Only interested in hearing experts advice

Thank you all!

i'd suggest a pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic before getting it.

It sounds like a good buy there are so many variables it's hard to say for certain. Check to see what options it has and Carfax report. I also agree with Bill as far as gettin a ppi.

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the response! I am now really considering getting a PPI tomorrow!

To be MORE specific, here are the specifics of the car.

2010 e550 Coupe
25,300 miles
2 Owners (I will be 3rd)
Clean Title
Carfax is clean. No accident
Full service history
"A" Service just performed @ 25,000 miles
Extended warranty until 2016 ... And/or I think 100,000 miles?

Appearance Package
Premium 2 Package
AMG Sports Package

Options:
Panoramic roof
Heated seats
Cooled seats
Xenon lights
Harmon Kardon
Back up camera
Navigation
Sirius Radio
Ipod Interface

Basically, the car is heavily optioned. What do you guys think?

For $28,000 is it good deal? Great deal? Or average/fair?

KBB has the car valued @ $31,000 ... but nobody really actually follows KBB value... Real world people's experience is always different.

Thanks!

Provided the PPI goes well, I think it is a good deal.
I bought an '11 E350 coupe w/ 17,000 miles eight months ago and paid a hell of a lot more than that. Similar specs and warranty.

On the face of it, I would say that is a great deal. I have the same spec and paid a lot more for mine that $28K

I paid a lot more for mine as well. Similar spec with Distronic. I'd jump on it
