2005 e55 15K miles

I'm still holding out for the right wagon, but ran across this CL posting and wanted to know if this is anything to write home about. I think the price is nothing special for today's market. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

The dealer is says they are a "motivated seller" and that Kelly Wholesale Bluebook currently shows the car's value at:$45,175 + $5,925 (LOW Mileage). They are offering $51,100 + tax, including a one year Extended Limited Warranty

seems like a fair deal for CA. Options look good but not loaded to the bone. Maybe try to get for a bit less, but I would say if you are comfortable with the price pull the trigger and drive the hell out of it!

i paid a bit higher for mine when i got it and have never looked back and enjoy every minute behind the wheel!!!!!!!!

yeah, that looks like a pretty good deal, especially for the mileage on that car. It is missing my favorite options though, key-less go and panoramic sunroof. None the less, I don't think you would be disappointed once you smoke the tires out of the dealership.

I received word from the MB Dealer that they can sell the car at $47,794 (1K over cost) + the cost of a one year extended warranty + taxes. Any comments?

Seems like a good deal. Personally I won't buy a car without keyless go now. It's the coolest thing in the world, imho.

not to ruin the party. i got my 05 e55 with 19k miles cpo with extended warranty for 43k. go low. this ain't a honda with 100 buyers lined up to buy. good interest rate. i only got 3% for mine. i guess that really doesn't matter anyway. i never regretted that buy.

Thanks for the input. I'm still holding out for a wagon 04 or 05, but I know they are hard to come by.

I looked at this one on my way back in from Camarillo. You can get it for the 47,800 the previous posted stated. Couple small things that would irritate me on the car was a bulg in the driver side hood??? and scratched like heck under the door handles on both sides plus a few more small things. I wasn't too impressed with the options either. Hold off. This economy is starting to really turn sour and there are a TON of lease returns coming in.......and it's bul*h1t that it's 1K over cost. If someone traded it it they more than likely lowballed them with a number lower than the lowest Bluebook.
