Whichever way you choose, just know that Benz is about to go twin turb in about a year or so.

Will change the whole game of resale for your 63 if you go that way.

Just my 2 Euros.
That's def going to change everything. Same with BMW. The current M5 and M3, along with the E63 and C63, will have the last of the n/a motors.

Funny thing is that a whole bunch of C63 owners on the boards over there think that their cars will be instant collectibles.

I'm sure there are n/a enthusiasts (I personally like the sound of the n/a and it's linearity plus maybe longer term reliability), but I seriously doubt they will be sought after in the used market.

Thank you everyone for taking it easy on me, found an E55 but it's had 4 owners, I took a good look at it and it looks pretty good, anybody else seen this car, have anything to say about it...

www.autotrader.com this is the ID: AT-103463CF

the rusty lug nuts kind of scare me, is this normal wear?
It had every option except the rear sun shade and the 6 disc changer in the dash. Chime in and let me know what you think.

They offered it to me for 32,600.00, figure I have to buy a warranty as well.

Welcome CCG

A few things that might help you buy the car you seek.
Decide which car you like?
Are you willing to buy out side your location?
What are you willing to spend?
Which year and options do you prefer?

I suggest you search in MB USA http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/#/cpo/ for price comparison around the country.
Next see what they offer that is CPO.

Narrowing your search will help you find a good car.
This are few things that helped me when I purchased my car back Sept 09.

CharlyE500 is right you can get MY07 E63 for low 40's and with MB CPO. Here's a current add in MBUSA. http://www.herbchambers.com/ou/somer...zE-Class/M5053

sack500 your right as well because I found others that cost above fourty.
With persistance in searching anyone can find an excellent bargain.
