I have had great difficulty finding white ones up here in Chicago optioned as nicely.

Any advice on how to proceed in adopting this baby and bringing it home for all to see?
Thanks

Let me know if it is in Houston and Ill take a look for you. White is definitely the color- but I am a bit biased.

mb1arch

Cool and thanks.
The dealer is in BOERNE,TX.

I can find many up here, but not white. I cannot believe the low miles, although looking on the net there are some close.

Do you have one now or looking to get one after you fine tune your collection skills?

The dealer by my house has an E63 white w/pano and options but no E55's.Just looked at it today.

Archi

Dealership is near San Antonio. My E is a white w/pano, cant imagine a better color combo. Good luck with the negotiations...you should be able to get them to come down a bit (depressing for me, but good for you).

mb1arch

Which dealer? maybe I can find on MB site.

mb1arch

Can you post some pix? What interior?

A touch high..but it sounds like you are feeling it. White's stock is way up right now and distronic (whether you use it or not) is hard to find. Miles are right. Time to pull the trigger. Word of advice...don't give away the details of where this car is because it will be gone...

enzom

I think that is a fair deal for a very low mileage car that is very well-equipped. If the color is what you want, I'd say offer a grand or two less and go for it. I don't think it will sit around long.

Just a price point (and not a very good one )

I bought my 05 E55 wagon about a month ago. 20K miles, CPO. Optioned like yours except no disatronic or phone.

I paid $56K out the door (not including tax, but including everything else).

I don't know if that wagons go for significantly less (curious about that).

Taximan1

thats nicely optioned for sure.... Just bought an 05' Alabaster... LOVE IT!!!! Although mine does not have Nav., or Keyless. Im jelous!! go for it, sounds sweet.

I bought mine from Tulsa,OK and had it delivered to Delran, NJ, just last month. Used leemar transport. Car arrived quick, and very carefully loaded. Rates were reasonable as well..
Google (LeeMar transport), should come up.

Man are the guys in this Forum awsome when it comes to help!

I will pursue the hunt and try to bag it. You all are the best!

mb1arch,

I took my car off of autotrader a little while ago because I couldn't sell it. I have an 03 E55 in silver. I bought it as a CPO and the warranty is good for almost another year. Car has just over 17000 miles on it. I'm lookin to sell it if you are interested. I'm in Naperville, which isn't too far from Chicago. PM me or email me. Most if not all options are in my sig.

mb1arch

But of course!

I am open to silver but the one I have been lookin for would be white. I will check in with you later.

derrick_lui

Would you be interested in buying mine?
I have an 03 White E55 with 38000 miles on it...
its got PANO ROOF and xenons

Its under CPO warranty now till 2008.

mb1arch

Just saw the CPO.
Am trying to bag the first one, because it has all I want and newer.
But, price dictates all negotiations.

If you are still interested in this car, ask for Paul Spencer and tell him Todd Ermenio referred you. He is a high school friend and is extremely honest and straightforward.

Good luck!

mb1arch

Todd, which Paul?
Do you own a BEAST?

leftlane1

Paul Spencer - he used to work for Gunn Acura in San Antonio (where I bought a TL and serviced an NSX). Last I talked to him (in the spring) he was in Boerne at MB.

I am finalizing my own E55 purchase tomorrow -whee!

Todd

mb1arch

So your friend cannot help you with an E55?
Just kiddin.
How hard was it finding one where you live?
If name dropping secures the deal with Paul, I will cut you in.
If not, I will start selling MB's myself.

leftlane1

I'm sure Paul could've helped me, but I found one in Dallas. My next door neighbor is the service director at the dealership, so I'm in good hands. Plus, white isn't my color, even though it does look good in 55 guise.

I would be shocked if you didn't think Paul was an honest dude. Remind him that he went to high school with my wife too, just in case he needs a reminder.

I saw they have a silver 04 there also. Rare to have 2 55s in that neck of the woods.

Best of luck!

mb1arch

Todd, its not the honesty I am questioning. I just hope he is benevolent enough to drop the price to a level that makes an out of state deal worthwhile.

Thanks for the insight and will fill you in.

Good luck on your neighborhood deal.

leftlane1

Good luck - I signed the papers for mine this afternoon and am taking delivery tomorrow after they clean it up and make it pretty for me. I was hoping to take it home today, but it's been pouring anyway.

I would think you could get a good deal on the one you're looking at. I hope it works out for you.
