After a long battle, I finally got an E55. I was actually in the process of buying another one until some things just didn't add up with the dealer and I didn't like the way it was going. I bought a 2001 E55 black/black, navigation, heated and vented seats. K40 radar installed in the front bumper.(looks like a pretty nice system, don't know too much about it) 80k miles. The car is immaculate. It comes with all service records from the dealership and its a one owner. got him down from 17k and bought it for 15k. Good deal?

Some curb rash on one rim but you still made me jealous.

cneedham810

Sexy Ride!

ohlord

you follow the cardinal rule?And have it either inspected by youself if you are qualified or by a qualified professional on Mercedes.That includes all systems,Transmission,a/c diagnostics,hook up a scanner and check for pending or intentionally hidden obd2 codes,etc.
If you did and it passed with flying colors,great deal.If you did not,Caveat Emptor is the words of the day,dude
No matter what,get the trans fluid and filter changed or diy it per the diy on benzworld.org w210 section diy area,mb spec 722.6 fluid only.ASAP at 80k it is time.

I have always loved the monoblock wheels, especially on E series. Very clean and, the black is just classy and elegant!! Timeless design..

With the exception of the one wheel it looks great!

I'm jealous of you E55 or AMG drivers in general, insurance was prohibitive on me getting one. Maybe once I'm past 25yrs my years of clean driving will pay off.

cneedham810

Thank you guys i'm very excited. At least the wheel can be fixed too!

ohlord, i've been a member here a while now and of course i followed those instructions! I brought to an indy and it checked out quite nicely except a few very minor things.

I pick it up tonight and will have a nice ride home with it.

michakaveli

The ride home should be nice down some of those freeway in eastern and southern Mass :-) Flying low comes to mind

"Caveat Emptor" ARE the words of the day (again that is just hearsay)

I am on Joes side.That was a subtle poke at the 3 letter word reference last week,Jobs.Words of the day Is
I guess I was the only one that got it.

cneedham810

So the first day with the car....this is quite a difference from my old E320. i'm trying to behave myself but its real hard!

ohlord

Just got a lot smaller.

01BlackE320

The 320 has some punch to it. the 55 must be a rocket ship. Never drove one but sure would like to.

The Godfather

DAmn ventilated seats! That was a rare option!

Ozcan

Very good looking car. I also have some curb rash. Who doesn't?!!
Enjoy.

cneedham810

You got that right! In stead of taking an hour to get from one side to the other its more like a half hour?!

Can't wait for the snow!

cneedham810

I didn't know what it was when I first looked at the car. I had never heard of it. I had to come home and look it up on here! Too bad I won't get to use them for a while...i hate winter

jeff.bisonett

If you get in the car and your **** is wet (or sweaty)... turn on both the heaters and the ventilators to dry off faster

Fraser

I used to do this a lot when riding in/driving the S Class.
