Looking to buy an E55 1999 or 2000, 30-50k miles.

What do you think a good price is for a 99 or 00?

Any pitfalls that I should know of?

Thanks!

:p

If money is no object get the 2000 E55. Many changes:

Free scheduled maintanance (4 year/50kmiles)
Comand Nav option
Tele-Aid/GPS tracking
Shiftable touch shift Tranny
updated AMG body kit
updated 'black out' taillights
Revised hood - lower front with smaller grille
Steering wheel mounted controls
updated interior door handles

A good price on any used car is getting it close to wholesale or trade-in value.

Many on Ebay or www.autotrader.com

No pitfalls (mechanical) for either. Only colors for 1999 are Silver, Black, Obsidian Black & White.

Good Luck.

I can't say money is no object, but I think I'll go for the 2000.

Thanks Kev!

MODERATOR - WHY CAN'T I EDIT MY ABOVE MESSAGE?

I keep getting this message when I try to edit my previous post:

"The administrator has specified that you can only edit messages for 1440 minutes after you have posted. This limit has expired, so you must contact the administrator to make alterations on your message."

I can edit this one and others with no problem.

good choice, going with the '00.

At the very least, I think you'll find the autostick surprisingly fun, and the scheduled maintenance [what's remaining under the warranty] worth the SLIGHT premium to a '99... plus: I prefer the more aggressive front air dam.

good luck with the search.

Wow, this seems like a great deal on Ebay. It is at a dealer:
