Smile Deal of the Century

OK not the deal of the century, but certainly a decent one.

2003 E55 Black on black. Pano roof, Keyless go, Custom for 03 Euro Command Nav, custom Sirius and XM install, trunk closer, heated and ventilated seats, dynamic seats, Bi Xenons, Parktronic, Solar Panel, Passport stealth install in front and rear, and I got a 3 year 36000 extended warrenty all for 45k.

http://lotus-scottsdale.ebizautos.co...5-1526679.html


I am having a Mercedes dealer relook through the car, but carfax is clean and it has 32k miles. Don't tell me there is a better deal, because I already renegotiated once.. hehe. He is shipping it 1200 miles at no cost to me.

WHat do you guys think?

Sounds like a lot of car for $45k especially WITH the extended warranty! Hell-of-alot better deal than the one that noezwayout was gonna give you!

Don't like it.... the paint is ugly... too much swirl marks.....






Hahaha.... j/k. Looks good, great price. Since it's '03 and I lemon'd my '03, make sure get a print out of master inquiry from an MB dealer. It will show you whether there were a lot of warranty claims against the car. You don't want to have problematic a.k.a. half-lemon car, do you?

Told you a right car would show up

Great deal!

I picked up a no-options 03 for $39.5 with 47k miles and thought that was a deal(prior to trading it in a week later for an 06).

What was wrong with your car so that it was lemoned? I have heard that California Lemon Laws are pretty lenient. I even heard some people will drive their brand new car and basically lemon it out to get their money out of it. I am not saying you did that, but I have a real good friend who lives in Cali and he sees it quite a bit in the car business.

So many things.... The car was in the shop 50% of my 3-month ownership and less than 1200 miles. As a comparison, my '01 E55 has never been in the shop other than for regular service or recall. The longest in the shop was when the instrument cluster was replaced (2 weeks )

Brakes failed, steering wheel wobbled so many times.... plus so many things that I could not remember exactly. The dealer only did trials and errors (from tires to bearings to ...). Not sure what went wrong. My argument was about safety.

Really? Lenient? Man, I went through hell to lemon that car.

How many miles did you have on it at the time? I have heard their laws are more lenient than other states. Maybe they are not...

Sounds like a great deal. Is the warranty from MBUSA or some third party.

Enjoy the ride.

This is the response I got from Lisa (lisamariechico@yahoo.com) for a 3yr/100K ext. warr


Depending on the year and where the miles settle at
you should be around $2990- $3490 to have the Daimler
Max care plan.


Good Luck

Did you guys all see what noezwayout55 posted? IS this guy for real? He comes back one here after trying to BS all of us and expects to get 30k for his POS. You have to be kidding me. That guy has not one ounce of respect.

Sweet deal!! About 10k less than I paid last week. Mine had 4k miles and is also a 2003, but does not have the pano roof, dynamic seats, Parktronic, or seat ventilation (though it has seat heaters). I'm still happy with mine cuz it's showroom perfect (until today, but thats' another story. I wish I could add Parktronic).
