2011 E550 Coupe

Hey MB World,

Im new to the group, but I have been watching from afar. I currently have a 2002 E320, had it for 2 years now. Im currently looking to buy a 2011 E550 Coupe w/ under 65K miles on it for around 23K, clean Carfax, two owners, no a cidents. Just wondering if you all had any opinions on this purchase before I go through with it. Thanks.

2011 E550 Coupe, 2002 CLK55 AMG
get it...

Since there seems to be nothing but tumbleweeds and crickets, I will chime in. Three weeks ago, I purchased a 2011 E550 Coupe (coming from a 2002 CLK55 AMG). I needed the power, and they have the same specs, so I took the leap. I picked mine up with the P2 package, rear view camera, keyless go (fully loaded). I lucked out finding one that was special ordered with Designo Magno Platinum paint and Black Ash wood. The car is a beast, and extremely quiet and comfortable. My AMG was getting up there in age, and started to feel like a POS compared to my girlfriends CLA. Now hers feels like a POS
If you haven't already...jump on it. You won't be sorry.
PS...price and mileage was very similar to mine. I was finding them anywhere between $20k and $25k loaded with low miles.

'11 E550 Cpe/'04 GT3
I second "get it".

I got mine in Jan '13 as a lease return with 17K miles. It too is equipped with the P2 package, sport suspension, AMG sport package. It too has Designo paint (Graphite Green Pearl - looks like gun metal with just a hint of green under the right light), Saffron beige/black interior and Black Ash wood.

Almost as quick as my GT3, far more comfortable and a great looker. It has been trouble free and surprisingly gets very good gas mileage (25mpg at 80 and 24mpg at 90 on cruises down Hyway 5 from SF Bay Area to SoCal) and high teens around town. Great trip car. Wife loves the heated/cooled multi-function seats.

It will depend on your choice. Much better if you will test well and make sure to yourself that it could be your best choice. Otherwise, I will be looking for another, just like leasing or buying a new car. In my case, I just want to lease the 2017 AMG GT S and I am make sure of it. Just saying here.
