If any of you like any of the cars listed below and can't make it out to see it in person, let me know and I will be more than happy to go and inspect and take it for a test drive.

E63
Actually, if you leased like me it is all good. That first E63 is selling for the residual value of my 07 in April 2010.

update

so I went by today to look and test drive the wagon and yeah the miles may be high 49K on a 2005 but other than some minor damage on the lower front bumper (which they will fix)it wasn't bad and this is also minor but it needs to be detailed. For 39k I don't think you can find a better car.

I do like the steering box on the 2005 versus my 2004. It feels lighter/quicker. The 3rd row deal was pretty cool. anyway it was a nice car

It was nice, just needs alittle detail job, but it's lowered and it has Gulstrand goodies up underneath. I can only see the rear sway bar but I bet it handles like a dream.

any IC pump/heating issues? did it run stronger or weaker than aveage E5% that uve tested? granted the wagon's a bit heavier.

04 - 06 e55 Wagon - looking for
Hammer,

Thanks again for checking out that wagon. No takers on the Buy it Now price on Ebay. I'm tempted, but going to wait for a lower mileage wagon.

It ran pretty good, I didn't get a chance to push it too hard but throttle response was good and it didn't take much to break'em loose and the ac worked great it was like 90+ yesterday.

I did notice that the exhaust sounded a little throatier than my car. Anyone else notice the difference between a wagon's exhaust vs the sedan? Maybe it had to do with the back of the wagon being inside the car if you know what I mean vs being out back and divided by the back seat and trunk.

a little OT but are wagons easier to drag. ive heard something like theres a bit more weight over the rear wheels so they are easier to drag?

and if you ever see an E63 used with the P30 package for sale, let me know asap lol. i know its a longshot but that would be my #1 car. couldnt justify 100k for a new one though.

has to have pano and keyless though. =)

Are you talking E63 wagon? or sedan? If you are looking for a sedan here is one but I don't know if it has the p30. but it has pano & keyless

E63 sedan. has to have P30.
as much as love my E55, i will only upgade to a 63 if it has P30.
gotta have the LSD+wheels. color doesnt really matter although silver or white would be my first couple choices.
