What to look for when buying used E55?
I've been repeatedly swaying back and forth between buying a used E55 or M5. Any inherit problems with the E55's that I should look out for. I see quite a few '99s for sale but am interested in '00 or newer with Command.
On a tangent, I am also interested in possibly leasing a '02. Any idea what MB is offering in the way of leases (money factors, residuals, etc.). The local dealer quoted me a money factor of .0038 whcih seems high and 60% residual for 36 months/12K per year.
