Looking for input on E55 2001
I need some quick input on this matter. Subject: 2001 E55 35k on her with a 3 year 100k MB warranty. Super clean car but the hood and two front fenders have been repainted I'm good and you can't see the shade or texture difference, (The paint meter speaks the truth). The car has all original panels so it's only paint work. Car drives nice no weird quirks etc. Most of the time I would stay away form a serious car with paint work but as of latley everything I've seen has some sort of paint work on it. Bottom line is $23500.00 with the warranty. I'm thinking that's a good deal.
Any feedback would be appreciated. (need some quick feedback)

I would also recommend CARFAX and run a VMI...try to find out why the front got painted...I'd be real suspicious, at 23k I dunno, sometimes things don't add up.

if it was a cpo warranty it only has a year left,why would they paint it if no damage?And it is still priced thousands above private sale value.
Are you an avid diy'r?Can you do your own maint?Do you have the money to be a member of the club?They are not cheap to maintain.

look at the prices on the most recent post. no where near 23.5k
you can get the lorinser supercharged one in the thread for asking price 28k... probably for 24k if it sits long enough.

Late model MB cars are like expensive women. They feel good only when well maintained and pampered.
