E55 AMG Accident--Price Idea?
My friend was with me when I was looking for an E55 and he really wants one but cant afford it. However, he did find one that was previously reported in carfax (about 2.5yrs ago) that it was in an accident. The carfax did not list it as a collision and it states airbags did not deploy.
The stats on the car:
2005 E55 AMG
~33k miles
Still has benz warranty for another 6 mos.
SILVER/BLK
PANO
Parktronic
NAVI
Asking $33k for it and they admit the accident claiming it was just keyed.
Title is not branded and it does have carfax buy-back gaurantee.
What do you guys think a very good price would be for him to buy it at?
I told him $26k but not sure if thats too low/too high. The one I want is an 2005 white/black with similiar options & 36k for $37,000.

We already got the carfax on it but want to find out if the accidenton there was actually vandalization. Either way it reports as accident on carfax so tomorrow we are going to call the FL PD listed on the carfax to see what it really was.

Does this thing have a warranty? If his money is tight, and this car has no warranty that = get another car. My 2 cents. Supercharger, airmatic, tranny...rethink it.

its got 6 or 7 months and all the way to 50k. Thats kinda why he want this cuz he will have $2k left on the side for extended warranty and he says another $2k in 6mos isnt an issue.
Personally I dont like the car because it's not black or white. But he prefers silver because it "looks" cleaner when dirty.
