Only missing the Keyless go

What does everyone think about this car?

I am trying to buy an E55 and look to the experts for your input.

I have a similar loaded car available with Pre-Owned Certified warranty.

I can beat e-bay deal and I will deliver to Bay Area.

Feel free to call me with any questions.

Thank you,

4 options that I love on my E:
keyless go
trunk closer
dynamic seats
pano roof

good luck with purchase. I am in the Bay Area too. I got my car out of Colorado in the winter - not alot of AMG sales in the winter and you can get a deal.

MB Laguna Niguel great dealership and great service. Bought our E500 there from Manny. Nothing bad to say about the dealership.

for me, keyless go and distronic was a must.
i would go without everything else just to have these 2 options.
but if you've never had keyless go, you might not even know what your missing.

I have push button start/stop in my 06 Corvette. Like it a lot. I think the location of the start/stop in the E55 is odd, to me at least. I turned the car off when I tried to put the car in gear when I test drove it, thinking it's the gear shift actuator.

Distronic... I use the cruise control less than .01% when I drive.

I use my cruise whenever I'm on a trip. My foot gets tired after a while without cruise. The other good thing about cruise is you can have your foot in position near the brake for suspected radar situations.

I would like to have the Distronic but this option really limits your choice in used cars as not many have it. I'm not sure if I would use it but I would like to try it. If you give too much control to the car it could be easy to fall asleep, especially when driving late at night.

Parktronic really helps you squeeze out the last bit of space when you're trying to get in / out of a tight parking spots. I love it alot. Some people might think full front and back is overkill, but I think it suits my need perfectly.
