I've been looking and looking for the one that matches what I want, but I've come up with nothing here on the west coast. There was one in Texas, but the guy never got back to me. :/

I'm looking for an 02 specifically. Any color besides black, and navi is a plus. has to be clean title with no rust and has to have transmission service records. mileage has to be below 130k. Its been a tough search.

Out here, everyone is asking $15k or more for cars with the combos I don't want. I've seen that michigan one on craigslist. Pictures are blurry, and the rust scared me away.

But I might just end up getting Benzgal's car on here since its so well taken care of.

Ya most of the e55's you will find at these fly by night dealerships are ones that where obviously bought at auctions that the more reputable places passed on. Ideally would try to focus on ones that are privately owned as I mentioned when we talked on the phone. Be patient and get a good one.

Thanks for all the help Rich. The car certainly looks good in the pictures, but obviously beat up in person as you mentioned. I definitely hate dealing with dealerships, but private sellers for these cars are hard to find too.

the last thread I made was about that car. haha it's also a piece of crap. The passenger fender and the front bumper are damaged and it doesn't have any service records. The whole car's interior has been taken apart before.

Just out of curiosity, why an '02? I don't think there's any difference between an '01 and '02.

02s are faster for some reason. I couldn't believe it until I read an old thread on benzworld where they dynoed 3 00s and 3 02s back to back and all the 02s put down much higher numbers. They also mentioned that 01s were the same as 00s despite their higher compression. I know someone with an 02 that has a friend with a chipped 01 and when they swapped cars, his friend mentioned that the stock 02 felt faster.

hahah I just want it because I think the dash looks super plain and old fashioned with the single din cassette radio. I also like the fact that I can throw a CD into the dash and be able to enjoy the slightly better sound quality. As for finding directions, I have my hand held GPS unit handy.
