03 E55 AMG - 01 996 TT
Just Bought an 03 E55 - daily driver
Hello everyone,
In February i purchased an 03 E55 with 29k miles, as my daily driver because i just had a new addition to the family and my wife will not allow my son in the 996tt.
Beautiful car, very fast. i feel i found a great deal, and have some $$ left over to put towards the car so ...
After reading through this forum, I purchased a Chrysler Factory Plan contract through Micheal Case, $3,500 - 4 yrs unlimited miles, Maximum Care!! purchased this in March
since March the warranty has been great to me, i had to replace the front an rear shocks - airmatic suspension - warranty covered all but my $200 deductible of the $6k bill. Also covered a coal canister? Don't really know what that is, something with emissions, another $900 covered by warranty.
I drive about 90 miles a day during the week and sometimes double that on the weekend, so i plan to sell this car in 4 years with well over 100k miles on it. So i knew i would need the best warranty in the biz.
one question i have is around modding the car, everyone tells me to get the pulley ASAP,
Is this something i can do with the Chrysler Factory Plan? i do not want to void this warranty?
If its OK to mod this guy up, what would you suggest? I am looking for to make this car fast, but not crazy because i have to drive it all the time. would like to run 11s!!!
any appearance mods ??
thanks

Whoa and 03 with 29k???!! I thought mine was babied. 03 with 38K.
Nice find!!
Heyyyyyy, what is with this Chrysler Warranty on an 03. So you can purchase the Chrysler plan even if your car is out of factory warranty?
Interesting.
You get it from a dealer or something (a cpo car?)

I love divorce sales, great time to pick up some toys on the cheap. The best deals to be had, is when the wife is doing the selling

E55 warranty
HI bjr7141,
I just purchased an 03' E55 with 27,000 miles. I'm looking to get a good warranty for the car before I pick it up. The Chrysler warranty that you purchased sounds great! Do you have the contact info for Michael Case?
Thanks for your help!
