e430 trade or swap?

ok, i've been holding out on this idea for a while, but i might as well ask..i'm in a black/charcoal e430 4matic my 02, and may want to swap out of it for same in brilliant silver , poss white. checking the stealers and web, havent quite seen the right package. even considering a nice c43 locally , as a long shot though.
really dont want 211 4matic or other make/model at this point.
love my car, hate to clean it. i've got e1, e2, 6-cd, xenons, hot seats. 25k. no stories. just the dopey fogs now and then.
need similar specs and mileage. any ideas or interest let me know.
thanks , john.

i dont need to actually swap, if someone's got a car to sell. i can handle my sale separately. thought some of the guys here might know of avail car, or of someone else who would buy mine..

For $40K, you can pick up a pretty nice 2001-2002 E55, most with low mileage & fully loaded.

maybe, maybe not. two different animals, and i can already hit a dealer bid at 37k, and frankly there's prob more E55s out there than e430 4matics.
and my car is an 02, if it was an 01 i'd offer at 35k.

and it aint even for sale yet

I'm considering an E55 and Autotrader has 20 E55's that are 2001 & 2002's between $35,000 and $45,000 with reasonable miles to what you have listed.

There are also 36 E430 4matics with the same search parameters listed. Not trying to tell you how to market your beautiful car, just bringing you some additional info that I thought you may find useful!

Good luck!

2002 e430 4matics

my car is a 2002 with good options and 25k. there are six 2002 e430 4matics under 30k miles on autotrader. of those listing a price, the lowest is at $42,995. i believe $40k is right in the ballyard.
if my car was an 01 , yes, i'd likely ask $35k.
thanks , john.
