Interested in pre-owned S55, but...

...the prices shown on the mbusa.com website for those cars seem to be a little high. I'm on a waiting-list for a E55, but I think I will go for a pre-owned 2004 S55 for the same money or even less. The prices shown by mbusa for the CPOs are too high to use them at leasecompare.com, so I assume they can be pushed down a bit. Any ideas or experience with that?

By the way, what options can be retro-fitted (if any) if they would be missing in a matching car? I'm from Florida and those cars are really rare here and the interesting models I found are spread all over the country. Can my dealer bring a specific car to my location or do I actually have to go there..?

I know, many questions but it's the first time I'm interested in a CPO (why should I always pay the high depreciation??).

Thank you very much in advance for any feedback!!

Florida E55 I live in Daytona and have several "collector" cars. I might be willing to let my 03 S55AMG go as I have a SL65 on order. It is Bright Silver with Ash, about 3200miles, power trunk closer, tire pressure readout, telephone with voice command, and I cannot remember what else?? Have to check. Anyway, this car is driven only on a nice sunny day maybe once a week and kept in a climate controlled building. I have 3 other "collector" cars that I do the same thing with. Email me if you are interested. unf1@cfl.rr.com This car has the 492HP Supercharged AMG engine. Its incredible!
