My new E55 AMG

Just sold my 2000 Ml320 in exchange for a pristine 2006 E55 AMG. It only has 27k miles, certified, and nearly every option.

It was stickered at $44,000. It was at a Mercedes Dealership and I told them that they needed to get it down to around $40,000 as well as give me $5,000 for my ML320. I thought it was a low ball offer that they might counter, but they ended up getting close and I paid $37,000 after trade-in. I think I got a pretty good deal considering it was the lowest mileage example on the market.

The floor in my garage is actually outdoor carpet. I printed out a large AMG logo on a plotter than then cut out the shape in the black and new letters in grey carpet. Then glued it all down to the concrete. I've been waiting to actually put an AMG model in there for a while!

What year was the ml320 and what kind of shape was it in.

Also how long had you been looking for an e55? I cant get myself to see what the MB dealer would give me for a trade in on my 2000 clk430 as I know it would not be much. Am hoping to sell privately and then search for the right e55.

Congrads on the purchase and it just must feel insane fast every time you drive the car?
