As long as you don't pay any more than you would for a non Reggie owned E55.

I do agree with Velvet's comment....
The PLUS is that you are getting almost a BRAND NEW car, even though its 7yr young car.

cheers

What's up with the seat covers on the front seats? This is probably a darn good buy for someone, but how do you price an 8,000 mile 7 yr old car?

price it like it is. it is 7.5 years old, at the least, and obvioulsy hasnt been driven as much as it should in that amount of time... it is also old technology... good luck with the decision.

I second that! What was he thinking with those things! Sheepskin hasn't been hot since---fabio

Hey good luck with the car. According to Kelley Blue Book that car should be 26795 if it's in excellent condition. That seems like a pretty good deal if it's been kept mechanically perfect.

fabio! lol thats hilarious.

i test drove a '99 E55 that only had 21k on it and they wouldn't take less than 32k when i offered them 29k. are those guys crazy?

heres the link to the car i test drove. it says "will not last long" and its been on the market that i know of for 3 or 4 months

Go for it? When you get it I have a set of Birdseye Maple door handles for sale when I was in the market for a 99 E55 myself. The 99 is the last year for the 18" AMG Monoblock spare tire with 245/40/18 tire. The 2000+ models have a black alloy 17" spare with 235/45/17 tire.

Truth is even at 30k this is probably a good car to buy. Good luck, and get him to autograph something!
