Just do it and don't look back. I did and I couldnt be happier with a vehicle purchase. It's the BEST all-around vehicle I've ever owned.

all kidding aside the E55 is incredible and you will not be disappointed. i had an E500 for 9 months before it got bought back and then decided to move to the dark side and I couldn't be happier. it is the ulitmate sleeper unless someone knows what is under the hood. there is a reason it was deemed the worlds fastest production 4 door. classy, fun, exciting, damn fast to sum things up about the E55.

good luck with your purchase!

Driving an E55 AMG is like having sex with Jessica Alba and owning one is like knowing that you can have sex with Jessica Alba day after day, after day, after day.......

Thanks for your comments guys!! E55's are pretty rare over this side of the pond, and yes there seem to be more SL55 AMG's than Ford's here!!!

E63 Silver: Previous Rides : E55 Black x 3
Go For It

Don't think about it, do it, you will not be disappointed.

Just purchased my second E55, it is idenitical to the car you are interested in.
In my opinion the E55 is the complete car, it is extremely rapid, it will cary 4 people in comfort, it has a large boot, it looks wonderful and the sound is out of this world.

If you see a guy with a silly grin on his face racing up and down the A19 you can bet your pension on the fact it will be me........

I would prefer the black anyway.......happy driving!! I think I may have seen that happy smiling chap you refered to!!!! ..............
