Stablemate for the E? Good deal?

I posted this in the R-Class forum but that place is a morgue.


Looking at a 2006 R500 with 4000 miles. Car appears to be an early factory demo with an in service date of 8/2005.

Here's the rundown.

723 - Pewter
901 - Black Alcantara seats
R39 - 255/19" Sport wheels
143 - Sport Package
220 - Parktronic
244 - Sport front seats
317 - Comfort Package
320 - Entertainment Package: Harmon Kardon LOG
323 - Heating Package: Heated rear seats
353 - Airmatic
424 - Panorama roof
530 - DVD COMAND Navigation
536 - SIRIUS Sat
581 - 3-Zone Climate
739 - Aluminum trim
876 - Ambient light package
952 - Sportline

Total MSRP of 66,450

Worked a deal down to 43,000.00

So basically, this thing looks, smells, acts, and tastes like a Saks 5th Ave edition R500. This was an early production vehicle and I'm guessing this was before they offered the Saks jobbie but this option list has morphed into the Saks model. I think some of the option packages and names changed during the year but not exactly sure.

Looks identical to this one:

Anyway,

What do you guys think? Good deal? Great deal? Just an OK deal?

Not sure about the price but I had a Saks 5th Ave Edition as a loaner and I really love the Pano Roof on the R Class. Hope you get one....good luck!

Not bad. Wife and I took one out for a test drive and she fell in love with it. We are debating on an R or an E. She wants the R I want an E, I am a sedan type of person but a price like that is not bad at all...
