WTB: 04-06 E55 or SL55

I'm in the market for an E55 or SL55 with less than 45k miles and with service records. I'd rather by from a private seller on this board than some local car dealership.

I plan on spending $25-35k which is completely dependent on the condition, modifications, etc. I'm not going to consider your "aftermarket accessories" as a deciding factor for my purchase; it's not an advantage that you spent $6k on wheels, put on the stock set.

So, let's see what you have...

And a wanted ad with a sarcastic jab at other members? Might want to check the attitude at the door

Get over it buddy, it wasn't sarcasm. I've already received three inquiries from sellers.

I suggest spending ten minutes and browsing over my very own for sale ad. Do you think I expect to make a profit from my iForged wheels?

I'm selling the C230 this week and expect to take a loss on the wheels and unique "buyer" appeal. I'd much rather have a stock, well maintained, Mercedes E55 than a modified version.

Then just mention you're looking for an unmodified E55 , not "I'm not going to consider your "aftermarket accessories" as a deciding factor for my purchase; it's not an advantage that you spent $6k on wheels, put on the stock set. " with a rolling eyes emoticon. It makes you look like dick. Carry on

I'm leaning toward the E55 but a nice SL55 would certainly grab my attention.
