looks ok, but i think you can find them for closer to $30k.
ck this out...i've seen it in my parking garage and it looks very clean.
beautiful car, though i've not driven it.
http://www.cars925.com/VD.html?VID={ce621c98-6e1d-4c06-9aec-3183dcc0f90e} they've had it for a while, so the asking price is no doubt negotiable.

jicl55,
thanks for your help bro. Yea i know the mileage is crazy but thats the only one that I can find in my state. Its just ridiculous it seems like no one here driving the E55 or something but I do see alot of new C and alot of 3 series BMW . Anyway back to the car so there is no accident to this car before?

That I don't know (if it's been in an accident).... Yeah it seems like that is the only one in the whole state of Oklahoma. Next closest is all the way in Dallas. But reports (like carfax) only tell half the story.... they could have been in an accident and not reported (like mine, come to find out). 2 things you NEED to do before you buy: take it to a body shop..... not an independent inspector or dealership, but a BODY SHOP.... preferrably someone whose seen an E55 before. They can tell you if its been in an accident, not carfax or anyone.... also pay the $250 or whatever over there to MB of Oklahoma and get that thing looked at by them using their "pre-certified inspection" That's what they would do if they got the car from auction, trade in or wherever. If those two things check out your good. Does it have a warranty from Mercedes Benz? If not, get one. Another couple grand but may be well worth it. But if I was you I would travel to Dallas and get that certified preowned black one from Mercedes with like 13000 less miles and just drive the 185 miles back (and its for the same price).

My bad.... just saw the black one is 400 miles away (Austin), but whatever..... take a little trip back..... there are a few in Dallas (185 mi) tho, but the next closest one looks to be in Tulsa (100 mi away from you). Still that one may be a better deal. Depends on options, but mileage is #1 in my book. Maybe they are jacking the prices up because they know right now they have one of the only E55s in OK.... or they are trying to make a decent profit (who would guess). If I was you I'd offer no more than 32k tippy tippy tops.... and thats if it all checks out and it is immaculate.

That would be a great idea . It looks like I need to drive to Dallas or something. The only thing that bother me is I dont know how much they gona pay for my car (CLK 320-04) for trade in and do i need to change the wheels back to stock b4 I go ? cause I heard that they need the car back to stock if you wana trade in and yea I saw one from Tulsa too. There is another one from Houston that I also think its a good deal they're around $30K with 34,000 mileage and its a 05 too. By the way, u said the amount of $250 is that something I have to pay or the dealer that I buy the car from going to pay??? But anyway, Im going to see the car right after I finish this lol. I'lll let u know what is going to be?

Ok I just give the car a test drive....All I can say is "wow" I mean I never get in E55 before with that kind of hp so anyway, here is the problem that car has been lowered and I DONT know what else the previous owner done to it . I dont know wth they used to lowered the car the steering wheel shaking like crazy eventhough I got it on 60mph plus it pulls to the right . Another problem is I looked at the clock and it says something like "Low battery Conv." I have no idea what is that mean cause I never see that b4
.
Ok, pricing the manager said he's not going to take off any pennies I was like wtf then I showed him a few cars from Dallas that selling around 30K with that kind of mileage and he was like "Okay". I mean is that how they do business and right after that I was just stand up and walk out to my car then drove off. I guess I will go to Dallas next weekend or something cause I couldnt find any E55 around here . Anyway, thanks for your help "jicl55".

I live in Cols. Ohio, the car is graphite grey with heated/cooled seats, keyless go, navi and has the original window sticker in it for $92800 or right around there. My friend from college works for MB financial and he got it for me before it went to auction as a one owner of lease. He cherry picked it for me and it is awsome. PM me if you want his contact I will give it to you. They are having a tough time selling these now anyway he said. Dealers are buying C classes and M classes only.

I talked to the sale manager and he willing to go $54,800 on this E63! Only if I get all my fund in order. He told me if they don't sale it by the end of the year they will have to paid inventory tax and stuff..i haven't counter offer on his offer yet, i'm sure he can lower. ![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
