W210 E55 or W211 E500
Which one? Gonnna sell my W210 E320 that does nothing but collect dust and pick up another E class. I always wanted an E55 but for the same price I can get a new body E500, i'm having trouble on deciding, i love the E55 but it is old body style, then there is a new body style E500 that is almost just as fast....
Pros and Cons?? Please help me out here.....

I disagree... Get W210 E55 
Not b/c I'm selling one.... W210 E55 isn't that fast 
but still faster than E500 (349hp/391tq E55 vs. 302hp/339tq E500), better handling, better built (in & out)....
I agree about the styling that W211 is better...
If you're talking about the new E550, that's a different story... 382hp/391tq. It is very similar or a bit faster than W210 E55.
But either way, for the value, I'd go w/ W210 E55.

Yea i agree W210 is better built and will give me little or no problems. I found an 02 E55 50,000 mi Blk/blk every option including nav for 22.5k so i think i'm gonna do it.

Isn't that fast...what kind of stupid statement is that???
Well, hell it ain't a W211 E55...but it's an AMG regardless. E500?? Maybe if you are old, and don't want the thrill of an AMG!
Crazy!!

LOL.... W210 E55 could still smoke your Maxima & ML500....
Just want to stir up the conversation a bit.
BTW, OP, if the one you're thinking of buying doesn't go through.... PM me if you consider buying mine.
