I just searched autotrader and was suprised to see a lot of 03-04 E55's for under $45k. That is a lot of the car for the money!

Most of the cars on Autotrader that are selling for 50k or less have higher than average mileage (over 40k). All of the cars that have less than 25k miles on them are selling for 53k or higher. Personally I wouldn't buy a car of that caliber with more than 40k miles even if the price is that low. Remember you are going to have to purchase an extended warranty and with over 40k miles on the car they are going to charge you allot of money. The E55 is not a daily driver in my opinion, it’s a car that should be driven with respect and parked in your garage for the pure enjoyment of just knowing that its there. It’s a weekend car that you take to the detailer and watch him try to catch his breath after he had a chance to hear its roar.

I hope you guys aren't around when I try to sell my high mileage E55 in a couple of years. I have 4 cars/2 motorcycles and I use it as my daily driver
I walk out to the garage and can't resist it calling to me.

I too believe the E55 makes a great daily driver.

I still don't agree about the daily driver analogy, but hey that's just me. Your chances of selling a low mileage car in "my opinion" is greater than selling one with above average miles.

How can a 4-door 4200lb mass produced sedan not be considered a daily driver? Its not a car to let sit in the garage and collect dust, E55's should be driven hard and on a regular basis!

Who buys a E55 to sell it? I appreciate a sound exit strategy on certain investments but to try and anticipate a selling price on a depreciating liability like a E55 due to mileage accrued doesn't make much sense IMO.

It's sort of depressing sometimes seeing the used car market, while the real estate is taking a hike over the last few years seems like used car market is going downward. But in general I think the E55 with relatively low miles and well taken care of will hold up the value to the right buyer.
