mypreownedmercedes.com is where i look. Next to most updated registry for cpo above the actual dealers website in question. Ive seen some 11-12 550s with less miles than that for aruond that price for awhile now. 55k miles is too much. Isnt CPO max 30k? Either way, great deals on the 12. Easy to get an ECU tune for that year as well and unlock some more power.

I got a 2010 E550 CPO with 50k miles P1/P2 w/ distronic for under 29k. Car is in perfect shape and next 2 service a/b are also covered. I'm happy, and 50k miles does not bother me in that price range, time will tell. I traded a same year E350 base for this, the extra power and air matic suspension, along with p2 and distronic were worth it to me

That is one loaded E550 in the link... not sure what it doesn't have!

As I recall, asking price for '12-13 E550s w/ under 45K mi is $39-45K (not including the cars with crazy, unrealistic prices above this). Most are not as well equipped as this one.

Here's what the E350 looked like after the same treatment. Awesome and so easy to clean. Dirt barely stuck and would almost fall right off after a wash

I agree! half tempted to trade in my E55 for that

V8 Bi-Turbo AWD would be a blast!

when did the E550 switch to bi-turbo?

i'm coming around to liking the TT models, a modest tune brings power up pretty nicely - and the smaller motor gives a little bump in MPG

So i noticed something interesting with 2012 and up.... They raised the warranty to unlimited miles, and they increased the tranny service duration period to 70k instead of 40k (svc b)

So along with 2 payment credit I got 3 1/2 yr unlimited mile warranty. For a 26,500 mile cpo 2012. 33k b4 tax license etc. So 7 years is nice but ill be way over 100 before 7 years goes by =D

dang that's a great deal! I don't put many miles on my DD so the '12 would be decently priced as CPO!

That E550 is very similar to one I just bought with 32000 miles - I lack airmatic. Car is quite fast, but hides how fast it is. Traction is amazing - ESP off I have a hard time breaking it loose with the 4matic, and it goes in the snow.

Can't speak to the 2012, but after going from my 10 350 to a 10 550 with air matic, it is awesome! By no means a sports car, but having a lot more fun in the corners and on and off ramps
