Looking at 05 E55

Any one here have pictures of Granite Grey. Looks like it might have been a special order for model year 2005. Also, what value should I place on a MB certified car? Probably would not keep the vehicle until the end of factory warranty so it would really be a resale question.
Thanks,
Todd

Thanks, saw one in the picture gallery. I have not seen the color in person and it's tough to make a decision based on a picture.

Found a certified 05 w/ 21K mikes for $62K and I was told they are very motivated. Has Lighting Pkg, Keyless Go, CD changer, Sunshade and TPS - no Nav??? I wonder if the color is hard to move? I have a very short commute - sometimes walk to work and the E55 will not be my only vehicle so the miles don't bother me - I won't be putting tons of miles this one.

what color? what dealer?certified doesn't mean mint condition, so ask if you care.
62 is a slamming deal for low miles, even with few options.

what color?
Granite Grey

what dealer?
Bay Area MB dealer

certified doesn't mean mint condition, so ask if you care.
Was told the car is perfect. My family has a place in the city so an inspection is not a problem.

I agree - I just wonder about the color. Everything I buy I eventually have to sell.

What are my options as far as Nav? Factory or aftermarket.
