I found a black 2005 with every option except parktronic. It has pano roof with the solar panel, ventilated seats with drive dynamic, keyless go, dvd commmand nav, rear sunshade, bi xenon with turning, Birdseye maple with black interior, Sirius, and the only thing I do not see is parktronic. The dealer is sending me the MB info tomorrow. I am excited. Car has 47k miles which is on the high side for a 2005, but the car will most likely sit in the garage most of the time as I have a new work truck. I paid 48. What do you guys think?

Yeah... I know Quick E55 is selling his.... beautiful car... except it's silver
Having only 3000 miles to go is almost the same thing as no warranty. And owning 55k engine w/o warranty could cause a big ding to your finances.
Even though you said the car would mainly stay in the garage, I never know anyone who only puts <3K miles a year (let alone 2 years
) on <$100K car. I myself have been using my AMG's as weekend cars (I mainly work from home :p 
) and still manage to put 3-5K a year per car (6-10K miles a year).
So don't worry.... just be patient, the right car will show up.

oh, i thought you had already bought the car.
when the time comes for me to sell my 01 E55, I'm getting a 2007 E63. I really like the subtle changes they made to the 07, and also I prefer NA engines. 6.3L sounds sweet, even though "E-sixty-three" doesnt quite roll off the tongue like "E-fiddy-five"!!

There is another 2004 at a Mercedes dealer I am looking at that has it certified for 2 more years and it only has 19k miles. It will probably cost me 54k though. Is that a lot better deal? Same color but more options. The only thing it does not have is the sat radio. It has TPMS, parktronic, distronic, solar panel, pano roof, keyless go, side and rear shades, ventilated and dynamic drive seats, trunk closer, lighting option xenon(turning), phone, comfort package. Is the CPO and lower miles worth 6k more?

BTW, the car you loooked at before did not have distronic.... AFAIK, there is a very few E55 w/ distronic...
See the pic of the car you were thinking of buying
vs. that w/ distronic
From outside... there should be a black screen / plastic in the middle of the grill.

For me it is.... you got the other car for $48K.... extended warranty, which may not be as good, would cost you around $3-4K --> $51-52K for 47K miles vs. $54K for 19K miles.... hell yeah.

they can ask whatever they want, but both you & they know the market for these cars are extremely soft right now. you'd be shocked at wholesale prices on these cars. go in there and tell him you got $53k cash to deal today, take it or leave it.
