E55555

I am in the market for an 03, 04 or 05 E55. I have found a couple 03-04s with about 30-40K miles for about 37-38K and 05's for about 42K I trying to find out what the current auction selling price is in the so. cal area for Manheim.
I have a friend of a friend that can get me a car from there for about 1000 over auction price.

Also what are the differences from the 03 to 05? I know the speedo was bumped to 200MPH, is there anything else I am missing. Thanks all!

I don't know what the auction numbers are, but the average price of an 05/06 E55s on autotrader is $55k. So, I'm assuming the auction numbers will probably be in the 40s to low 50s for an 05/06 models.


As for the difference between models, there is a nice summary in post # 54 of this link.....

I'm looking for one in the next six months or so and have been watching the auction prices go down about $500 per month, on average. The next year or so is a great time to buy one of these vehicles...they are a steal, IMO.

yeahdickey

crazy how the acuction price discrepancy between the 05' and 03' e55s, with roughly the same miles is minimal .. at least on the higher mile ones.
