Looking for Advice

I'm looking to purchase either an 05' or 06' E55 in the very near future. Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me ? Other than make sure it has a warranty (or at least extend it)

Also, how are these cars in the snow ? Typical RWD car ?

Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.




Dan

I do with my E55 wagon. It's OK with good snow tires, but just OK. I try not to drive it unless necessary. I drive my my 996 when there is snow.

Yeah, I know. 996TT winter beater
