What can I get for low 60s/ high 50s?

I have been seeing some 2005s with under 20k miles going for mid 60s but from a shady dealership. I don't want to spend more than low 60s - what can I expect to get? I am not desperate and willing to wait until the fall. i am hoping for a 2005 with 20k miles (loaded with nav) for under $60k. wishful thinking I guess.

I will sell you a loaded 2005 with 17500 on the clock for 65k. I am not a dealer and I am not shady.

I'd bet you could get all of these for low 60's:

This one on Ebay should go for high 50's or low 60's:

Thanks guys for the leads. Here are my requirements, well, wishlist:

1. Silver (the one at Luxury Motors, I'd buy in a sec but these guys are the shaddiest people I have ever seen. I live only miles away from them)
2. One owner
3. Navigation
4. Under factory warranty

I have been seeing TONS of black in my area, Chicago, but very few silver.
On a side note, aren't HIDs standard on the E55s??? Thanks!

Xenon lights are not standard on any Mercedes-Benz cars. To get the Xenon lights, the car must have the Lighting Package.

Low beam Xenons are standard on E55. High beam xenons (bi-xenons) and an option.

Are we sure about this? I just checked MB site and it lists halogen lights... I am ok with low beam xenons but halogens just don't cut it for car of this class/price.

HID xenons are not standard.

Cars without the lighting package will have a projector lens with just your regular bulb.

The car needs the lighting package to receive HID xenons both low and high..

i did it to my car...

bought the lights new from Europe Ebay, but now its very common in Ebay USA.

easy install and plug and play... but you need the computer to set to Xenons.

this only the dealer can do (most won't do it) or save STEVE can do it for me. There is a thread about STeve coming to Cali to do these kinds of jobs. He also travels to other states.

'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
I had HID's retrofitted. No complaints here, though it took quite a bit of convincing to have my local dealer install them.

Yes...it is wishful thinking.....I say buy a '02 Yellow Viper GTS instead. I know one which is very clean and the owner is loaded.

If you insist on an E55, I say try L.M. on Ogden....I heard they even wash your car with a broom.
