that alot I bought my 02 E55 about 7 months one owner car, 38K miles, mint conditon, never been hit, brand new michelin tire on AMG monoblock wheel, all maintance done for $23,800

btw, don't rely one KBB, they are way above market value. I use Edmonds.com
they are much reasonible. your 01 with what you describe is worth about $19,000 trade in and hight retail for $23,500

I try to trade in my 02 before christmas for a 08 W211 E63 and 3 local dealership would only give me about $19,000 for my car, one dealer gave my $17,500 The dealer that gave me 17.5K for my car is going to sell me there 08 E63 for $97K plus TT, sticker was $100,890.00 that not included taxes yet. I said screw it! i'm keeping my car! than dump another $7500 into it

mang....you were thinking of selling? heck, if you do, let me know. I have
tons of home projects scheduled ($$$), but since i've seen your ride and know
that you take care of it, i'd consider going into debt again

Besides I still like the W210s. I like having something that not too many people have. Like only 500 a year. The E63s are being mass produced and is not special to me For that price I could have 2 W210s and all supercharged and faster. 100K is
