Unhappy Last call for 2000 E55!

Last call. I'm on the verge of trading it in. would anyone like to buy it instead? Great shape with only 115K miles. $12K. I'm looking to move it out by the weekend.

I'll be leaving the Benz ownership world for a bit. I'll still be around, and someday hopefully soon I'll be back. But right now I need to take a time out.

Damn $12K for an E55....

If there is carmax around you, bring it to them... they usually give better price than dealers. But not sure w/ 100K+ mile car. Just try it... it won't hurt.

Yea, they offered me $9K!

I'll take the first offer above $9300. That's the highest offer I've gotten

Dude...put your car on ebay...start the bidding at $9300, you'll get what your asking for it...probably a lot more. Keep it another two weeks and see what the bidding brings...being in such a rush, your gonna loose 3-4 grand!

I could try putting it on ebay...but seems like a hassle to sell a car on ebay. Not saying it can't be done. Just saying it might take longer than I'm willing to wait for.

Why don't you put it on ebay and autotrader? I'm sure it would sell for 12k no problem.

Yes, services are all up to date. Tune up about 10K miles ago. Everything works great. I did just replace the window assembly. So that's brand new. Front rotors and pads where done @ around 20-25K miles ago. These are the expensive ones to replace. The rear pads where changed around 10K or less ago. I do have the stock wheels. The tread on them are decent, no plugs. There are better tread on the tires on the car now. They are 19". To my knowledge it doesn't need anything. No noises or vibrations. I love the car, but can't afford repairs right now. I'm adjusting to life outside the military, and pay isn't as good. So I need something cheaper.

It ain't a Benz, but it is a nice little Sentra. I love the blue. I think it will be a fun, lighter car.

No, no problems with the car to speak of. The last straw to back the camels back was when I recently had to replace the window assembly. I just don't want a car right now that is out of manufacturers warranty. I have one to cover the big stuff. But seems like the big stuff don't break on these things

The important thing is I want something new with less miles, and a lower payment. When I found out how much the trade in tanks, I have to sell it now. I planned on keeping it, but I can't afford to right now. I'll definetly miss it, but I'm doing this so I can get one later down the road.

If anyone else is interested email me of call me. greggjess@yahoo.com or 207-450-8963, Gregg
