New to MBWorld looking forward to getting my feet wet.
I just graduated UTI in Rancho Cucamonga with MBSTARt elective under my belt. And I also got a job back in San Diego at a MB dealership. In the next few months I will be looking into buying an E55 amg. I started with a 98 turbo Integra, then an 06 Mitsu Evo MR/SE but now I want something more suited to my social status. Plus they are bad ***!! Just letting everyone know so I don't seem awkward asking dumb questions. I can't wait for all the info and sweet pics! Thanks guys!

I'm sorry I guess I didn't explain myself well enough. I am moving back to San Diego as a Mercedes-Benz technition. So I am very aware of what these cars cost to fix. But it will be much easier when Im doing the work myself in my own stall at the dealership. 
. But thank you for the insight!
And noob question.. What is CPO?

Welcome to MBWorld. Even though you may have noob questions, we'll have plenty of questions for you as a tech. 
The other tech here is Konigstiger.
CPO means "certified pre-owned." Lots of brands have this, including Porsche and Mercedes. If you buy a CPO from a dealer, you'll get an extended warranty. As a tech and employed at a MB dealer, it may not be worth it to you. That's your decision. But as you know, parts are pricey.
Good luck in your E55 search.
And use the MBWorld search feature here, you'll find a lot of info on what to look for in used 55s.
