MBWorld Fanatic!
Don't think you can considering this car is a one-owner (elderly), and I have it's entire service and maintance history on hand. I've been looking for a couple months now and this is the best deal I've found.
That being said.....it's a done deal.
2005 E55, black/black, 78k miles.
$23,750.
Should be in my garage by the end of the day....pics soon.
Thanks all for the help.

Already started shopping around for warranties. Came across company called Greenlight Protection.....Quoted me bumpbertobumper for 5years/additional 100k for only $2,295.....sounds hard to believe.
Your thoughts?

Congrats on your purchase. One of the hardest things is convincing yourself that the car is THE one for you. Once you do that th rest is easy....just my .02
.....sounds like a great deal for a 100k mile warrantee

Look at the top right corner....BBB approval.
Maybe Chrysler's warranty has become norm here.

Kinda too good to be true for 5 years 100K .... make sure if they cover 100% of the repaires and deductive rate.

Be careful. Check into the exclusions and the deductible, two very important parts.

Not a problem. I've taken it to the track 3 times in the time I've owned it(forgot about the local 1/8th mile with my dad) and made about 30 passes on street tires, bone stock. If that scares you then I hate to think what you'll do when something stupid breaks on your car(COMAND, air struts, wheels cracking, etc..). Congrats on your purchase though, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I assume every performance car I buy has been to the track, and if it's still performing well and checks out then no worries. When something breaks at the track, it BREAKS, as in snaps in half and the car gets flatbedded home.

That Greenlight warranty sounds good. Bumper to bumper for 5 years/100K add'l miles for $2295. WOW!!
Checking their website, I see they have an A+ rating from the BBB. That sounds good.
Looking at the 'sample contract' on their website - whatever that might be worth...it says "shock absorbers" are excluded. So...would that mean that the Airmatic Struts on our E55, for instance, are NOT COVERED by the Greenlight warranty? On the other hand, it doesn't seem to exclude the astronomically-expensive-to-repair dynamic seats. Again, that is the language in the 'sample' contract which may have no basis in reality once you purchase. I'd be curious to know what dealers or indy shops experience has been with Greenlight in terms of getting claims paid.

Hello MoeMZA,
Unfortunately, I don't have any other companies to suggest. The Chrysler warranty seems well-received. My car has too many miles (93K) to qualify for any warranty programs I've found...until you gave the tip on the Greenlight warranty. Thanks.
