Anyway, it looks like the Godfather is on the right track looking for a lower mileage '04 vs a high mile '03. I do agree with C32used that Kelley Blue Book is always way off and that Edmunds is much closer to reality on pricing in general. Another thing that I do is simply run a search on Autotrader within 300/500 miles of my area and look at the average asking price...that should be a good indicator of pricing as well. You might even find a great deal that way also.
Are the '03 E55s that bad? Mine was built in August '03 and I now have 28K miles...should I be on the lookout for electrical issues?
Sorry, off topic...I'll do some searching.

I've been looking at a 2004 in my area for some time now. The only one (and it is at the dealer) has got 47500 miles. It has pano, heated and ventilated seats, lighting package but not much else. They were trying for $48,000, now they have it advertised for $39998. I've examined the VMI, carfax, driven it and it rides nicely. I had whittled down the price to $44,500 with the dealer adding navigation and a 3 year, 100k mi Starmark CPO warranty, but most people on the board have told me not to buy it as it still is too expensive. How low are these cars going to get? It seems like the value is just not there anymore.

lol sup homies 
And yes, I'm quite the OG here stormwind as you can see...
Anyhoo, I've been looking at 04's. I found a CPO w/ 40 something thousand miles for 39k at a MB dealer.... I'm very very very tempted... As long as they don't shaft me into oblivion on the Lex, I may do it. I'm flying out to NYC for a short vacation, so I'll re-assess once I come back. I may actually bother selling the lexus and make more... I just bought a brand new Toyota FJ Cruiser and that thing is fun as hell!! But I miss AMG sooooo much!!
If anybody know of a private party, or otherwise, selling an '04 55 or any 55 for under 40k, let me know

I've said it before and I'll say it again...nothing wrong with a "sorted" 03 211. If the car has been treated right, serviced and had all the software updates and "kinks" worked out a well-priced low-mile 03 can be a bargain. Make sure anything you buy has some sort of warranty though.

Damn man, where you been?! I lost your numbers a long time ago. I miss you man! I think I owe you ribs or something :P
Ok so check this out: I found a 2003 E55 w/ 43k miles, CPO, all options except for comand. Dynamic seats, partronic, distronic, ventilated seats, keyless go. So it's pretty loaded. They want 39,500 for it and claim that "oops we made a mistake it was supposed to be 45k" yeah ok whatever. So they said 43,500 after tax and license. They're giving me 29k for my car, stock, which isn't TOO bad. what do you think of that deal? On thing is I owe 21500 on the Lexus so that kinda sucks I don't have that much equity. Looks like the payment difference per month will be about 190 bucks a month.... man, if I didn't have bought the FJ 3 weeks ago, I would've done it already... argh... anyway, I'm going to NYC tonight for a week, so I guess I'll sleep on it.
