Thoughts On This High Mile - 4 Owner - White E55
Hey Guys,
Been a lurker on this site for a while, just joined as I'm serious about getting an E55 AMG. Been doing some research and found many black cars, but a few white ones. I came across this NYC Car, 4 Owners, and currently at 73K miles. He wants $22,500 - What are your thoughts? Pass or go for a PPI ($250)?
The only two things bothering me is the 4 owners & obviously the high miles.

He is dropping from his $26900 asking price to $22500? IMO white is no special color unless it has pano roof which this one does not. The thing that make white a really hot color is the pano roof. So this is really just another 70k mile E55.

Thanks guys, I guess it's a pass. I was really excited since I had work the owner through the price from 26 to 22K. While on the subject, what are your thoughts on this?

For no more than 22K out the door according to KBB.

The 4 owners thing worries me the most about this. At the end of the day its still a E55. I would do my research on this car big time. Take it for hard test drive and take it from there. What car out there are you going to buy for $22k.
As to the pano I def agree its hot but my buddy put black vinyl on the roof of his c63 and it looks amazing. You could do the same. I would say think about it.

That is a nice one but no way are you getting it out the door for 22. I just sold my 03 56k for 24,000. KBB is way off, they are using data from 6 months ago and they are never accurate on specality cars. The market is the market and that clean 03 with low miles will fetch 25k all day.

$25000 would be a good buy, not a steal , but a good buy. Remember with these cars, you get what you pay for. You want a beater, you will pay in maint. Spend a little more and get a well maintained low mile car, and you will be much better off. No 2003s had Nav but you can add it. The only 03 that had nav was about 12 Presidents editions made and you will probally never see one of those.
