i was going into work today and i saw a 2000 E55 AMG with 107 miles on the clock beautiful clean car-fax for $16,500 see that i am new to the benz world i was wondering if this was a good deal...thanks in advance

 

A little high in mileage; I would think $14K to $15K range would be fair. Good luck.

 

I wouldn't sell my '99 with 75k miles for one penny less than $23k because its perfect inside, outside and under the hood....but if you feel that 107k miles is not a big deal and $16k is a good price for such a great car as an E55...I'd say its a fair price as well.

The question becomes what is the rest of the condition of that car? Interior seats, rugs, dash, glass, paint, etc. You can spend a couple grand on maintenance for normal wear and tear stuff like brakes, fluid changes, shocks, etc. Where the real big money comes into play are things like HVAC, having to paint or repair the body, a new trans, re-building the engine, replacing a radiator, things that are bigger to fix.

I'd rather own this car than an old Camry that needed work....at least you'll get a high class, limited edition, European, hand made sports sedan... for about the same price of a new Hyundai.

 

Well, it's believeable. I have 113K on mine and was asking $15K for it. I just wanted enough to pay it off.

 

thank you for the replies. i test drove this car today and i absolutely have to have it..i think i can get them down to 16000 i think that would be a better deal having said that what should i do maintenance wise when i get the car?
