I'm close to buying a 2004 E55 with 48000 mi. The car is black on black, has Pano, Nav, Sirius, comfort seats, and the lighting package. Price with 3 years of MB CPO is $47,000. The car is stock with no mods. I've been lurking for quite awhile. I can't seem to tell if this is a good deal. I've run the VMI and have the actual service records from the single owner (prior to dealer trade-in). The car is clean and seems to be in good condition, but will need new tires in the fall. What do y'all think?

 

I think there are better deals out there especially on an 04. I think you could find an 04' E55 with less than 20,000 miles 1 owner non CPO from a private seller for under 47,000.

I just got a 2006 E55 White w/ pano distronic parktronic dynamic seats keyless go trunk closer w/ 24,000 miles and I love it. just a thought.

Also, I've had a CLS55 for 1 year allready and for me to go out and purchase an E55 I thinkthat tells you how much I love these cars so I highly recommend that you make the right purchase. I would even buy a 2003 with less than 20,000 miles fully loaded if I was you. That just shows that the person never drove it

 

i wouldn't say its a good deal. i got an 05' blk/blk with 15k, nav, seats, xenons, ac seats, for $46,500. Has 1 year left on manufacturers warranty. It looks brand new. Be patient and selective and you will find a great deal.

 

I've seen E55s from 03-05s going around in the low $40K, I'd keep searching around. Or go to the mbusa.com Pre Owned Vehicle listings.

Good Luck

 

More like 40-41k max is where you should be on it.

 

i picked up an 05 with 26k and CPO for the same price they are asking on that 04.

this was 5 months ago in september.
id say low 40s for that car sounds about right. 42k~

 

Sounds like $40-42 with 3 years of remaining CPO to 100,000mi is the going rate. I thought 3 years of MB CPO warranty was pretty expensive, say around $3500.

 

yeah but the cars true market value is 40k tops
there u go. its not magic, its just math. =)

 

Well, I reworked the deal. With a 3 year CPO warranty the car can now be bought from the dealer for $44997. I'd say that is not bad for a 2004 with 48,000 miles. The dealer won't budge any further. What is the consensus?

 

1. No such thing as 3 year CPO warranty, only 1 year @ $2395 plus a 2 year @ $3995. so 3 year CPO is $6,390.

Most high mile 2004 E55s $42K then add MB warranty $48K
Here is one to check out compare.

Are u going to mod? U could buy my car for a few more bucks and save HUGE on modding

 

The dealer is willing to add 2 years to the 12 month/100,000 at his cost. So really, it is 3 more years.

 

My friend just picked up a 2005 with 47,000 miles, 3 years/up to 100,000 miles CPO for $43,500.

 

Be patient, patient. Wait for the perfect one to come along and pull the trigger. You will never regret it. Some people dream of growing old with their wives, I want to grow old with my E55.

 

I can tell you want it. All these people are saying wait but you'll get it. Just think, you'll put 24,000 ticks on it over the next two years and have a 6-7 year old car with no warranty and 72 ticks on the clock. Spend a little more jack now and get an '06 with low miles with the color and equipment you want. Then think about adding a MBCPO warranty (if possible) and you'll have something that will last. Just my .02.
