certified pre owned e55

has anyone leased a cpo e55? length of lease/monthly payment? etc.

bmw has very attrative lease rates on m5's..under 1000 per month for 36 month lease, depending on the cost of the car. I am interested in the particulars of how a 1-2 year old e55 would lease out.

I'm on the waiting list for a 2003 e500, but an e55 might lease out about the same...

think i'd rather drive a 1-2 year old e55 vs a new e500

any insight would be appreciated.

new E500 will be a great car, but if you buy a cpo E55 you can just toss it around since it has already been driven.

E55 after the facelift will definitely be my choice if i'm comparing the new E500 and 1-2 year E55.

most of the time i would choose the new car but not in this case because E55 is a beast. roomy and powerful. just make sure the car is in good shape.

Just as I did, my 99 E55 is CPO vehicle, it is well woth pay the little extra to get the peace of mind that you own a never wrecked and in good shape car, and MB USA backs it up with one year extended warranty, I got 2 more extended years for only 1100.00 bucks, I thought that was a good deal.

Definitely get the E55! I mean the E500 will look nice once it comes out but the performance of the E500 will not even be the same as the E55. If you haven't test driven the E55 i would suggest you do! And then you'll be hook like the rest of us E55 owners!
