Post 15,000?

Hey,
Stopped at the dealer today and found a nice 99' e55...104000miles, for 15,000$ everything seemed to be great...condition was immaculate, and im extremely picky...what do you guys think about this deal? Thanks in advance, Will.

about right price for 99s. Honestly though getting the 2000+ is much more worth it, totally different interior bits and alot of changes including the better transmission. Mercedes said they made over 200 changes between 99 & 00 so I would spend $1k more for a 2000.

Its up to you what you are looking for and its all personal preference. For $15K is not bad but as long you know what you want or looking for then go right ahead. The 2000 models as the above member mention you do have update features.

Good Luck

lol. I had both the pre-facelift 97 E420 and the post-facelift 01 E55 Raff. I must say that equally are beautiful but I like the subtle upgrades in the 00-02 models. The front end for one is sleeker, the steering wheel controls and upgraded cluster are nicer features and the taillights too!

That may be true But I was just commenting about the transmission.
