I can understand both sides of the issue here. I am sure he was in a time crunch with the auction too.

I did measure the height of my Saint Bernard before I purchased my car lol (even though she has not been in the car yet)

Thats exactly it though. I was looking for this car for a long time and one that fit the bill perfectly for me appeared less than 200 miles from my house. Other than the auction time crunch, all other no-story cars disappeared as soon as they appeared. I called around to make sure the specific car was all what it was cracked up to be and then took the plunge thinking I would make it work no matter what.

One of my great weaknesses is buying cars on emotion unfortunately.

Or so my wife says. I have no regrets other than that someone else will probably be enjoying this car in the near future. If I dont get what I want, I will make it work!! I am getting addicted to the power as every day goes by! Truly an incredible car!! But you guys already know how lucky you are.

That wall comes right down with a sledge

Thanks for contacting me 3etoiles, but mid-30s is out of my budget... beautiful ride though, my dogs would've loved it.

I've been out of the country on business and just saw the auction ended without a sale. Was going to ask what the final bid was...guess my question is answered now.

What's the story on the CPO status of this car?

summer is apparently a good time to pickup a wagon? ie, when it rains, it really pours:

2005 e55 wagon 64K mi, $36.5K, in CT

'06 e55 wagon, 10 miles. That's right, TEN MILES, $45K, in Manhattan, NY

What's up Tony? Yeah I checked out the one in ct. It's been for sale for at least 4 months between 2 dealerships there. The guys that have it now are really great but they wouldn't budge on price so I kept looking until I found my designo. Pm me if you want more info on the pre-purchase inspection I had don't at new country mercedes in west Hartford. They recommended a bunch of things changed unfortunately. Nothing too critical and the car drove great but things sounded like they needed to be addressed. I am sure the dealer would take care of it though if you negotiated. Pm me your number too if you are still interested in mine since I can't find yours.

Pulled the data card. It's 040 black w/anthracite interior. Stripper car - only options are CD changer and Sirius. Does not have HIDs, 3rd seat, cooled seats, keyless go, power tailgate, dynamic seats, or any of that other junk that everybody seems to like so much.

Nope, sorry. Pewter is a showstopper for me, wasn't interested.
