i think that you are asking a little way to high considering that there is a stage 3 2005 e55 with 15,000 miles for 42,000 on sale here....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but extended warranty usually does not transfer to new owner once car is sold. That's what I was told by a Mercedes Benz rep.
IMO, sell the wheels separate.. Price the car at about $36k OBO.

CarMax quoted my 04 e55 at $29k a few months back.

Good luck on the sale!

I agree your price in this economy isn't going to happen, try the $36k for any type of sale, there's a glut of E55's on the market & an 03' is the 1st yr prod here in the states, part out the whl/tire combo to get some more money

For an 03 your price point is way too high. The way it runs and looks may grab the "one off" buyer for a higher premium but not the price you are quoting.

Way HIGH, same car (without wheels) is going through the manheim Chutes in the mid-high 20s range. Your price is closer to an 06 model with 15 K miles and mods.

I spent less than that a year ago for an '04 with less miles. Prices certainly aren't static from last December. Even with shoes and options.

Way too much $$$. '03 prices normally start with a "2" these days.

Keep car

Usually, wanting a high price for your car means you really want to keep it. Why let all these people beat you up on the price and tell you what to do with your wheels? There are hundreds of posts just like this one. Anyway, the solution for you is to just drive your car and enjoy it. Warranty to 2012, life is good. Car is sic and a stud, drive it.

Someone delete this thread. This guy is a total joker...

Anyone tell you navigation was not available in 2003? The price is about 15-20K over the value of the car, too.

Go hop on one of the porno sites and entertain yourself there.

Has anyone sold a car on this forum in the past year or two? I really do not think this is the place to advertise your car. I am going on Autotrader this weekend to see if I have any luck there.
