What's happening everyone! I currently own a 2003 e320. It has 198,000mi and i am the original owner. It is in fair condition. I have been thinking about trading it in for a 2002 e55 that I have found in good condition 80,000mi and maintenance paperwork. I would love to hear you guys opinion. The dealers asking price is 13,495.

That sounds pretty fair, I've seen some clean ones on craigslist recently, and eBay, go for about the same $10k~$13k. Any options on it?

For what you'll get on the trade, maybe you'd benefit from keeping the E 320, knowing it'll continue to be a great second car for many more years, and minimal maintenance. The E 55 can come out for pleasure, and not the runs to the supermarket, commuting, etc.

I'd do the trade in a heart beat if the E55 is clean.
