2001 E55 Whats it worth?

Im looking into trading my car and $3,000 for this e55, I have $7,500 into my car so id be basically buying it for $10,500... The car is nice only thing holding me back it is was and sideswiped and repaired but has a salvage title? What do you guys think of the offer and is it worth it?

Salvage = Stay away

Why not spend another 5K and get one in clean original shape, with maintenance history and without tasteless aftermarket mods?

I kinda like the bumper, not the slits on the sides though, thats weird. Who makes that bumper, I've never seen it before.

In my opinion when you buy an E55, you don't touch it. Why take off AMG bumpers and put those on? Doesn't make sense to me. I'd wait around for a nice one to come along. Took me almost 2 years to finally find the exact E55 I wanted. It was worth the wait. Keep looking

Any good E55 will cost you around $13-18k. Their prices have been rock solid even in this global financial crisis. The W210 E55 is pretty much the only car that has not dropped in value in over 12 months. I have a feeling they are pretty close to rock bottom and will continue to stay in this range for some time. Anything below $12k is suspect and probably is a "stories" car.

Hope that helps.
