Thinking of an E55
1. Buy the latest MY year you can afford (with the lowest miles)...
2. Invest in CPO or aftermarket warranty after factory is over...
3. Pay the couple of hundred bucks to get a pre-purchase inspection from an independent ASE MB tech shop.
4. Do your due diligence with regard to carfax and VIN research at your dealership (w/ regard to any work on the car)...
5. If you find a car that is piques your interest and it is out of town...use the MBWorld forum to see if another member can check it out for you.
6. Be patient...
Its 06 Panaroof, Parking sensor, Keylessgo, Dynamic seat, rear sunshade... for $26900 with 58800 miles. Its not far from my work....
if you are interested, i can go check it out for you ! I just paid mine E55 $28k with 75k miles ! Damn.....
