Checked out this E55

It seemed to have every option under the sun: distronic cruise, pano roof with solar panels, heated/cooled/massaging seats, 20's, parktronic, keyless go, nav. Had everything but folding rear seats and a dvd player. No warranty though. Any thoughts on the price or how much to offer?

E55

Check out craigslist/Seattle. That car and a few other comparable E55's are on there. Let me know if you want me to meet up with you and test drive it as well.

We are...still adjusting if you know what I mean. Moving from the River North/Gold Coast area to the suburb of Kirkland is definitely like night and day!

How's Seattle life for you?

Not really dying to jump into another car right now but if that dealer starts getting desperate maybe I'll visit him again. The car is pretty sweet though so it probably won't last.

We're loving it....while the sun is out. So much to do....way more the Chicago. Get up on 6speedonline and check out the Northwest section. We just had a 500 mile cruise....picture a F40, Carrara GT, GT40, DB9, a few F430's, GT3's and 997 Turbos + a crap load of other cars flying through some mountain roads for 500 miles. It was unbelievable. I'll be posting a thread soon.

Anyway, some of these E55's have been sitting around for a while, so you may get a deal. Let me know if ya need help or want to test drive mine to see what a healthy one feels like.

Oooh, looks like the car sold to some local Audi guy (I read it on another Audi forum I frequent). Next!
