any reason you are passing on this one?

Well, seeing how as my first post. An 06 Loaded with Factory warranty left was sold for only 29K, I think if I stay patient I can find something at least similar and jump on it. This car is 2005, while at low miles but no factory warranty. Also it's missing some options major ones (Lighting Package, Shades, Cooling Seats) etc... For all I know, I won't be able to find another 06 for 29K, but I'm willing to take the risk.

Also I have a Patience broker who makes his money on exotics, so finding cars together is our hubby not so much for the money. So Lance is very chill.

^^ I just sent him an e-mail... I've been looking for around 3 months now and have not seen any e55's near the options that one had w/ warranty etc. sell for that price.. I still feel there had to be something behind it especially knowing it was @ $39k for 2 months and I offered them $32k they turned it down and then sold it for $29k? does not add up.

^^ True story, you are going to be very happy with Lance. Let me know if you go through the deal, love to see the thread you make with all the new pictures.

Looks like the 2005 is sold also! Whos the lucky buyer??

456

Last I heard, it's been pending sale through my broker. Don't know if from anywhere here or not. Btw, that car DOES have the Lighting Package.

LSonDubz

not me.. i e-mailed the broker too late i guess

daniel3ooo

Really? I was doing research on the site and it seems as if the Lighting Package comes with the Headlight washers ......and they dont come seperate as far as I know

Just spoke to Lance, 05 Was Officially SOLD and on it's way to the new customer.

Will update on the next white one, hopefully that one is mine if it meets everything if not, Ill pass it along.

Worth the wait

I looked for several months, at a wide variety of years and options, and decided I wanted an 06 with at least a few months of MERCEDES warranty left - in white or black and at least keyless and nav.
I found ONE car in three months within 500 miles of me that fit the bill and wasn't in the high 30's, low 40's (well actually it started in the high 30's...lol).

While I am not saying you wont find it in the low 30's, there is no question the market has changed in the last few months.

And BTW I have already used the factory warranty when the car developed a faulty fuel pressure regulator the second week I had it....$800 on Mercedes with that repair alone.

Good luck with your search!

I contacted these guys right after that one got sold to somebody in kentucky. They sold it for almost 29k (289xx)

still looking guys, we should make this thread the official WTB White E55 AMG and keep posting leads.

456

Thanks I aim for the sky so even if I miss, at least Ill land n the moon (Mint 05 with everything and some extended warranty funds).

I know, but now that you compare that to my deal that I find. Same car but mine only had 30K some miles and that had 55K. So someone right now got even better deal than a month a go.

MrKool

yes. This is definitely a very good candidate for the official WTB: White 05-06 E55 thread.

Too many owners & miles. Last I spoke to him, he said the car has 73K miles. Even if you put 12K on the car, you can't sell it for high low teens in a year. I was working on that car. It was priced at 26 and then to 23 and then to 21 and now to 20. I doubt those 3 flaws are the only problems. It's a good about at high teens, nothing in 20s. Also, No Pano & No PDC.

daniel3ooo

I also was working with the seller and he requested a deposit but I wanted MB to do an inspection...I asked if he would refund me the deposit if MB found any problems during the inspection and he said NO the deposit is not refundable...so I declined .....but I must say $21k is very tempting

emoving

That's a nice car but with no pano its just another white eclass. The best thing about white is when it has pano! That is the only reason I would buy white! JMO

456

After a week, if there is no bids I'd send him an E-mail offering something in the teens. If he is asking 21K, I think I can buy it in the 18s. But I think some high school kid will probably buy it at 21K. It's a lot of car for 21K. You can't even buy a new civic for that munch these days.

You can wrap the roof with Vinyl worse to worse

MrKool

I contacted somebody for a grey one today...she started off with "Oh..its a very rare collectors edition car...has sports seats..you know the ones that hug you bla bla.." The car 70k miles so I passed.

^^^^ Lool

a 2006 white/black just came on the market with 48k miles on it. the dealership is out of their mind though, $38k firm absolutely no negotiation in price. I was on the phone this morning for about 30 mins with them and after i knew what i was talking about they didnt want to be bothered. you can find the vehicle on autotrader
