04 E55 trade in for 06 E55?

I happen to come across this beauty for sale which is 6 miles away from my house. I always wanted a white E55 with the pano. It's 2 years newer with 10k miles less then my car and it's certified.

How much do you guys think I can get for my 2004 E55 FULLY loaded with 34k miles ? If I have time I will try to head there tom but wanted to check to see what you guys think?

I personally wouldn't take the trade-in hit and buy a newer E55 but to each their own. I think there's too many cars out there to buy the same one twice.

I would not trade in my current E55 if they try to low ball me. I currently have no warranty and LOVE my E55. I just really like the WHITE with pano. I'm not willing no way to take a big hit. If I could work out a deal where there would be only $7-8k difference I think I might do it. Either way I want to purchase a aftermarket warranty which is going to run me a few grand anyway. This 06 E55 currently has warranty.

As long as you are comfortable with the deal and it's the car you really want, then go for it. At the end of the day, you must be happy with it and the warranty is a great reason to justify the purchase IMO.

Oh yeah, and put some black rims on that white car- that would look sick with the pano roof!

unfortunately if you are lucky you might get mid 30's that is me reaching for the stars. My car is the same year and miles and i have decided to just keep mine and just enjoy it since i have already taken a majority of the hit on it. i do agree the white with pano roof is pretty!!!!!

Your worst nightmare...
That white car is Gorgeous. For me a bit overpriced but gorgeous. If you could get it a bit cheaper and they give you a good trade in then do it! Knowing helms brothers....they are nothing but cheap.

The G37 coupe is actually very very nice. I had a 06 G35 coupe and it sucked big time. The G37 is a more comfy ride, better fuel economy, and pretty quick for its class.

I love my car for sure but I like the white with pano, 10k miles less and the warranty. I'm going to go for fun and see what they say but if they give me a good offer I'll go for it.

Overpriced for sure! When I was looking for this E55 I almost bought 1 from them that they were selling for $65k but I started it and it started smoking, oil leaking everywhere. I'm going to see what they offer me and take it from there.

$47K is way too high. It should be around $38k to $41K.
Trade in is never a good option unless you sell your car by yourself.
You can sell it at $30k top (private) but still have to put $10K
Dont forget the tax.... we are getting like 9% selling tax so.... if you get it at $38K + 9% = approx $41500 in my opinion, not worth it. I sold my 04 E500 then bought the 06 E55 but you already have a E55 so.......
