OMG... $51K for this E55

This E55 is nice and you're not going to get a shot at one for less. Because I'm likely trading it in tomorrow to a broker for $50K, I'm selling it for $51K to anyone on this board who wants it.

The autotrader ad:

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...ice=&cardist=0

It's going to be hard to find a cleaner car for less.

Let me know if you're interested ASAP.

PM me if interested... and you better hurry because it will be gone tomorrow.

Good luck sir, I sold mine today. Your car looks great and I like the grey, the usual silver gets old after a while.

Thanks man.

I have a feeling no one will bite from this board on such short notice, but wanted to make my best effort.

Not 100% sure yet, but I have a couple of options. When I make a final decision, I'll put it here. Because the sellers are active on the forums, I don't want to say what I'm looking at right now, but after it's over, you guys will be among the first to know.

If I sell my E55 it will be the last Benz I own. I've had many many cars and this one has set the world record for depreciation.

one of my good friends told me that buying a mercedes new is like buying as stock that you know will tank... (ok...that was a short...really short paraphrase...) you get the idea...haha




If you think thats scary, try those who got into a 996tt new...

That's why I buy 3-5 year old cars for daily drivers. And that's why I was looking at this thread, a $90k car new for $50k three years (25k miles) later. MB is king in the depreciation department, long live the king!

There's got to be a bottom line for our cars, when will the bleeding stop? Maybe the 03 & 04's have finally seen rock bottom now selling between $43-$48k. I mean where else can you buy a car for that price with everything that it offers? I myself plain to kept mine for sometime and I still get a rush from driving it.
