New Ride- E55 AMG (yes, I love it already)

I will post up some better pics shortly, but wanted to share my joy. This is my first Mercedes after a couple of BMW's, preceded by Audi and VW's.

2004 E55 AMG – Tectite Grey
Options:
Pano
Solar Panels
Parktronic
Dynamic Seats (Heated/Vented)
Keyless Go
Xenon
Navigation
Rear/Side Sun Shades
Trunk Closer / Locking
Suede Headliner



















One owner car bought serviced and traded in at same Mercedes Dealer. All records provided by dealer, and I like the fact that the previous owner even had her windshield wipers replaced at the Dealer. Not the cheapest way to go, but wonderful for a secondary buyer.

No, it was not listed, which is how I found a nice one. I had been looking for 4 months, and this was traded in in Santa Rosa. The dealer was doing the Presale inspection and I found it before they even put it on the lot.

WOW- Thanks for the warm welcome. I have my camera in hand (had to buy a new one, since someone (daughter) stole and lost my old one. Will get some nice pictures this afternoon. The car is absolutely perfect. The only exception is some small rock chips in hood. Other than that, It looks, smells and drives like a brand new car.

I wanted options, and I got everything I had been hoping for. Doing the NLBenz thing was looking like an option, however ultimately I found one with the goodies I figured I needed to have. I forgot to add "Solar Panels".. Will add to top. Thanks again for the warm welcome to the forums. You guys are great!

I'm with you on that. I'm looking into Stage 1 kits right now.

I got mine about 6 weeks ago. So far, so good (minus the car not having a spare tire). Warning, your right foot will become very heavy all of a sudden!
