E55 auction prices?

Hi-

I am going to test drive an E55 this week and am wondering if anybody knows where I can get the most recent auction prices for an '05 or '06 with ~25K miles? It might help to have this info in negotiating price. Is there much of a difference in price between identical '05 and '06 for the extra year of warranty? Also, how much extra is it worth to buy CPO?

Thx

So an above average '06 E55 is going for $38-$39,000 and by the time one replaces tires,brakes and does the required maintenance it's already at $41-$42,000...tack on another $1500 for CPO and one is looking at $43-$44,000
Point is...yes these cars can be had for mid 30's but then those are average or below average beat up cars...

Doesn't above average mean the car has good tires, up to date service, etc? Looks like the two above average '06's sold for ~$36,000 with 30K miles. So assuming they are above average and need little work, throw in an extra $2K for CPO and you should be able to get one from a dealer for below $40K. Keep in mind, the dealer probably buys these for less than auction price when somebody goes to trade one in. They probably pay $30K for a car on a trade in, which is why car dealers can make a profit selling them at auctions for $36K.

above average for me was mint condition in and out. costs are service and inspection at dealer, tires still have well over half their life so factoring half $ for that in, and 4k for an mb elw warranty (3 more years and better coverage than cpo)

This may be a dumb question, but how do you go about obtaining an MB elw warranty? Call MB?

Ask your dealer. On my C32 years ago, I vaguely recall I had to do it within the first year of owning the car. It seems to be different now on my E55, so either I had that requirement wrong, it's changed since, or my dealer is being accomodating.
