Whoah! What's the longest warranty you can get for this thing? Would be nice to see a 6 year/100k...

Congratulations on the pickup!

Damn. Nice. I'd almost be worried about how little it's been driven, if anything.

What was wrong with your '06? Or was it just driven hard and falling apart, etc.?

Is that the car from the dealer in Jackson, Mississippi? I saw it online and called about the car, but you'd already bought it and were en route to pick it up. The sales manager told me the car was immaculate and still smelled new inside!

Congrats.

Nice find. I too would be skeptical about the mileage it that, why hasn't it been used more?

Lot's of luck with it!

Congrats.
I'm in Jackson, MS. Which dealer? Higginbotham? AMG's in this town are few and far between...

Not in order..

Yes from Higginbotham in MS.

I traded my 06 E55 with 72k on the clock + $15k for this.

The "story" was the owner is very rich and has several cars. Why this one didn't get driven more is a mystery.

I paid $1395 for Mercedes CPO, which lasts one year. After that I will hit up Chrysler.

Yes Ryan shared the bad news with me. I'm going to *try* to see if I can transfer the remaining time on my warranty to the new E55. If not I will take the $1000 refund for the unused portion of my warranty and get coverage elsewhere.

I had it tinted on the way home, I'm getting a clear bra next week and looking into some other cosmetic mods and adding some factory options that are missing. I had plans for a pulley and tune but I'm kind of getting cold feet. This is my DD and I don't want any issues.
