My E55 will be here in 5-7 days

Just got the confirmation that my E is on its way.
Found a beautiful 04 E55 that was a screamin deal and too good to pass up.

04 E55 (in service date 9/30/03)
16000 miles (lease return for an SL55)
Tectite Grey, Keyless Go, Nav, DD Seats, Heated Seats, Pano Roof, Lighting Package, Mulitcontour seats, Trunk Closer

Can't wait to get it. Will post pics when it arrives.

Congrats. Does this mean that you will have 2 E55's?

Going from a C280 to a W211 E55 is going to be a scream!! Check Ricky's TSB sticky on top to make sure your car is up to date and start modding from there.

Upgrading from an 05 E500. MBUSA bought it back in September. The C280 is my runabout. Car is a little champ for sitting in traffic and sitting in a crowded parking lot.

What is Ricky's TSB sticky?
Don't think mods will be coming for awhile - Just tint and have Scorchie lower it a bit while I look for some 19's.

got it for 65 at a MB Dealer. they needed to move it out and i happen to stumble upon it. they were asking more and i made a low ball offer and they took it. looked at a few here in San Jose area and everything I found with less options and more miles was 74-75.

Was that the Tectite in Denver (Murray)? I looked at that one pretty hard and agree it was a sweet car for a good price. Frankly, one of the two best used deals I saw in a couple months of hard looking (the other one was from the same guy - he sells for a couple of dealers -- but I was too slow). I passed, however, because I decided to bite the bullet and get a new '06 because I really wanted the 4 yrs on the warranty. Anyway, great car, great deal, enjoy.

That is the one! I bought it sight unseen. They guaranteed me the car to be perfect.... I will be purchasing an extended warranty from a local dealer here. I am working with MBUSA to see if they can discount the extended warranty as my 05 E500 spent 21 weeks at the dealership before they bought it back. Only had the E500 for 9 months and 6K miles on it. Glad it is as clean as they said.
It should have left Murray today. Not sure how long it will take to get to N. CA but sould be no more than 4 days depending on weather up to max of 10.

that is where i found it first. and just called into the dealership. I looked on MBUSA site for preowned and they had it listed on the national search site for something crazy like $82K. Said AMG cars don't sell welll in CO due to the winters. Everyone wants 4matic.
