Plummeting Value of used W211 E55
#76
Every car implies a passion in the owner, that is why we buy most higher end cars.... not for the reliability or price. But sometimes, those cars don't invoke the emotions they use to, so we sell them and move on!
So in the end, that is great you love your car so much.. I am just saying don't come into the E section and expect us to have to listen to your stupid little rants about how our cars are dated. I have an E63 and thinks it looks even better then the w212. I don't go into the CL forum and tell you that your car looks like a steaming lump!!

You posted a stupid little online poll in the CL section, thats what I referred to and so did you in Post#40. It was brought up here and all you keep doing is bashing the E. So remember what you post before you make a stupid little comment.
I am happy that the E class is not your thing. I have no problem that someone doesn't like my car, and I could care less.... but this is like you going to an Chevy meet in your FORD!! in other words... WHY ARE YOU HERE!?!?! ohh ya... cause the CL forum doesn't have the tech that we have here... hmmmmmm

Anyways... back to reliability in the E SECTION. I have clicked off 41k miles in my E63 and the only problems I have had is a headlight go out and the pano roof rattle (and I still hear it so they didn't fix it good enough....) I love this car and am definately excited for the twin turbo E amg! (but I am definately not buying hte first year!!)

Good read, Friend. I am a bit cynical about a 5,6,or 7 yr old used car costing north of 25K and needing constant attention from a mechanic or a warrantee for the "what ifs". Sure the cars are super fun.....but the bottom line is the bottom line...$25,000 or more is alot of money to me![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)

Either way, kinda looks like you already made up your mind, I'd say if you can comfortably afford what might happen with an E55, and drive one while realizing you "need" to have the car, then go for it. Also, I'd say either get one CPO'd or avoid it altogether, IMHO.
