Purchase question -- EXPO Motorcars, Houston

I finally found an E55 in the right colors, price, and with the options I want. It is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Seems like a great price for an 06 with 8,500 miles.

Now that this car (I have been tracking it for a while) is down to a price I want to pay (close to it at least), I need to get my car on the market (2004 GT3)!!

I am curious if anybody here has any feedback on EXPO Motorcars and DAS shipping? I ran the numbers and they should about work...I just hope I can unload my car ASAP for what I need to sell it for! I have been looking for a while now and this is the only car that will work (price, options, color, etc.).

Any feedback appreciated.

Also, if anybody has a Carfax account and wouldn't mind checking on this car, I would appreciate it greatly!

VIN WDBUF76J96A831233

TIA, and I hope to join you guys soon! Tim

DAS sucks...personal experience and many other will tell you that too...use Intercity or Passport.....you should look at it in person. It may be my eyes but the exhaust looks a little droopy ....pics don't show it real well but I can barely get a hand above my 04 tips to clean them.

Thumbs up

Gentlemen, thank you very much for the info!

I appreciate the feedback on the shippers. I will look into the other two. Also, I will definately use my right to inspect! I would fly out and check it out. If it was all good, make the purchase complete and then fly home and wait and wait and wait. lol. Also, thanks for the note about the exhaust. I am a car nut, and know my way around pretty good and know how to find "hidden damage"/repairs, so I will look it over well, and make them put it on a rack for me too so I can check the underside too.

Thanks for the Carfax report as well. Looks good to me.

Now I have to sell the GT3 asap. Looks like I will be detailing her up tonight and then take some pics. I hope it sells fast. I have been looking for "this" E55 for about a year now....I would hate to miss it. But, I would imagine that there will be a lot of 55's on the market pretty soon....as soon as people start taking delivery of the 63's.

Thanks again fellas! I apprecaite the help very much! Tim

For sure go see the car and also have that dealer take it a MB dealer (you choose) to be checked out. It'll cost you about $150 to have the same inspection that is carried out for the CPO program.

Good idea. If I sell my car in time to get this one, I will definately do that! Thanks for the tip. Tim

Yeah, that is a sweet deal too! Thanks for sharing. It also has the options I want, and a few i could live without, but thats cool! Nice to know I have another option. Now I need to either get on the fricken wagon and sell the GT3, or wait until the 63's come out and see how the price is then....

It kills me to sell the GT3 before the end of summer.....ahhh, decisions decisions....
