Ahaha thanks dude. Hey if you bid higher, the car will belong to MBFOREVER.
If I had not picked up the E63 I would have been all over this deal.
Thanks again!

Assuming that the car was not involved in an accident (which Carfax may not reflect), it is an EXCELLENT deal. Note that it does not appear to be a CPO car, so the warranty has maybe a year left.

To put things into perspective, an 05 E55 with about 10k miles was sold at auction in December, 2007 for $46k.

If you like the color and options, go for it. Looks like a cherry of a car.

Most auctions are closed to the public, you must have a license as a auto dealer, tax number, credentials for the auction.

So E-Bay is as close as many can get, it will be interesting to see the final price.

If you indeed buy it, watch for the parktronic... not sure why there seems to be an ugly aftermarket parktronic added on the rear bumper

Other than that and very few option, it looks good.

A local auction will also limit you to vehicles located within your area, while ebay allows you to access cars from all over the world.

I was looking at that same car, but my question:

Look at the rear bumper, do you guys notice three EXTRA
park sensors, or some sort of other sensors on it?

Looks like the V8Kompressor emblem is not level on the drivers side. Could have been a minor accident and no biggie...

this one came across my radar as well, but I also noticed the additional "parktronic" sensors....seemed kinda fishy.

It came up clean on carfax, but we know carfax isn't perfect.

Hope the new owner enjoys it.
