Help on Buying a Used E55
First post here. I am trying to purchase a used E55 AMG from a local dealer (Mercedes benz Laguna, or Fletcher Jones Newport). FJ currently has one that I am interested in options/color but the price seems very high. In the pictures it has visible curb rash on the rims, makes me wonder about the previous owner.

It is an 04 with 20000 miles on it.
2004 E55 4-Door Sedan
VIN: WDBUF76J64A543828
$69,735
Mercedes Benz
Dealer Stock Number: P16448
20218 Miles
Brilliant Silver Exterior
Charcoal/Charcoal Le Interior
Certified Pre-Owned
What should I be able to get this for, and are there any concerns about this year?

That is a very steep price for an 04. You can buy a loaded '06 with around 20K for $65K easily. Look for the latest model year for your $$. Try auto trader. Definitely an 05 or an 06 for less than that one.

Yeah its a little too much for an E55 for 2004. I seen prices starting around 62K-65K. Use the Pre Owned MBUSA website to find more...

I was also wondering what would be a good price for the one at FJ? They say they are open to aggressive offers. What about a lease on it?

Try Vadim
Give Vadim@MBLN a call. Look up some of his posts. His is extremely knowledgeable (and passionate) about 55k's. 
I wish that I would have been able to give him my business, but he wasn't in sales back then.
Instead, he tuned my car.

No, I'm in Maryland but the money you'll save on mine will be worth the transportation cost to you.

That's very steep.... MB Laguna Niguel has 2005 CPO black w/ 24K for $61,888. I haven't seen the car myself... but look for Vadim. He's a great guy!
BTW, not to bash Quick E55's car, which I'm sure is in top notch condition, 2005+ has new steering rack. So the car feels tighter on the road. I test drove '04, '05 and '06 prior to my purchase... and I could feel the difference.
Good luck!
Edit: Wrong color on '05 at Fletcher Jones
Edit again: Removed some information to avoid damage to other parties :p PM me if you want to get one for a lot lower than that.
