W211 E55
Wanted: W211 E55
Hasn't even been a year since I've sold mine and I want it back already. I am looking for something similar to the one I once had:
https://mbworld.org/forums/mercedes-...-bay-area.html
It was an 03 that sold for 18k with a Bunch a goodies and flawless service history about a year ago. Meaning a year later I am looking for an 04 - Two owner with similar service and mods for about the same price. Without those high-dollar specific services being done (mounts, air sus, fuel pumps, torque converter, front susp overhaul), and the tasteful mods (CLS wheels, Tune, etc), I will obviously take considerable $$ off the price.
I will be taking to a Mercedes Dealership and I will be paying for a full inspection, specifically asking them to look for rear main seal leaks, air suspension, engine/trans mount condition, and and other problem areas mentioned above. I will also be running carfax
Cash in hand, Jasoneo5@comcast.net

Yeah I saw both. The first guy is in the ballpark, the 2nd surely is not.
Preferably I'd like it to be in CA and either be smog legal, or already be smogged

I, too, am looking for one. Apparently you have noticed the same thing I have - the owners seem to think their car is made of gold. I'm looking in the $21k range and the ones that should be there are around $24k. Whatever.

Was it a 2003 in CA? The one I found was on Socal Craigslist. No service history which is probably why he won't get more than 10k on it

I am looking at a 2005 with 65k miles in Atlanta. It's got all the options and the Designo package (some people don't like it, but I do) and he said his bottom dollar is $23k. If he will come to $22k I will probably go pick it up.
