WTB: '05-'06 E55...

Hi All,

As the title says, looking for either an '05 or '06 E55.... I've already read enough "cautionary tales" around here to know that I want a warranty (either CPO or otherwise).

Willing to pay into the $30s, I'm trying to be realistic on price considering I want a car that looks and drives like new.

Prefer Black/Black combo.... other nice options would be iPod integration, BlueTooth, or Keyless Go. None are requirements. Low mileage is definitely a plus...

I'm in New England, but the car doesn't need to be. It wouldn't be the first time I traveled for the right vehicle.


Appreciate any hints or links. I'm already scanning the MBUSA site, AutoTrader, eBay, etc.


Thanks!

-G

I saw two very nice ones for sale at the auction today, both mint with no paintwork. 2006 with 27K sold at $32.5K plus fees, and 2005 with 32K sold at $29.5K plus fees. I can get you one if you'd like.

Faast,

The jason427 car was exactly the type of condition I was looking for, but the color wasn't what I wanted.

BruceM,

Are you talking about the Manheim Auction? I was chasing a lead on a black/black e55 this morning that ended up sold there before I could get much info on it. Maybe PM me and we can talk about your leads?


Thanks guys...I appreciate the help!

It appears that my search has resulted in victory!!

Just put a deposit down on a very well-optioned 2006 (Black/Black).....


CARFAX looks good, but I'm interested to get a real VMI on it. Does anyone here have access to a friendly dealership that would be willing to run one for me??


Thanks again for all the help.
