soon to be owner of 2003 e55 avant

any thoughts or could someone direct me to a thread that would highlight what i should be looking for in a car of this age, gremlins etc.
it has full MB warranty till Dec 2009 so got peace of mind and its done nearly 60k, any potential expensive bills coming up, cambelt etc .

What have i got to look forward to expense wise, any help or guides to threads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you from the UK

2003 E55 estate
As every English Gent will tell you its a `Shooting brake` wagon indeed.

They are fantastic things and nothing is a finer sight than my Weimaraner pushed up against the back window due to the excelaration.

I am kind of lost. Do you want to know what to look for in E55 03? If so, there is a search button and it helps. just type in and you will find out.. Theare were at least 3-4 threads in past couple of weeks about what to look for in E55.

Excellent comment, but I think you meant acceleration

unless you have it there. there is no 2003 e55 wagon in the US. wagon started in 2005.. I personally will not buy any W211 body older than 2005, there was problem with the earlier cars.
