Hi Guys,
I have owned a 2005 E55 for 3 years which I am selling currently. I absolutely love the car btw.

I am looking at 2 cls55 amgs as a replacement.

Not sure which to purchase.
Both are Black on black and very similar options so thats not an issue

The difference is one has 21k miles and has a 1 year certified benz warranty and they are asking $46900
The other one has 16k miles no warranty and they are asking $44000
Both are at mercedes dealers.

So which one do I buy and are those prices too high. Which one should i go after and what price should I offer them?

I appreciate the help
P.S. I heard the front rotors on 2006 cls 55 are better than the 2006 E55. Is that true or just a rumor? are there any other differences between the 2 cars mechanically?

 

The one with 21k miles is sold already, but to me those prices seem steep.

 

I thought the prices were a little high too.
How do you know its sold already. I talked to the guy at the dealer today and they still had it?

 

Sorry, I was just going off of their website when I was looking at that car. I believe they are in Scottsdale right?

 

selling an e55 in CT? you have a PM. I live in westchester NY

 

Those prices are not high. The CLS55s with mileage in the teens are pulling @42000 at auction. Retail with warranty, those are not bad and that is why the one is already sold. These were only made one year and not a lot were made so if you find a good low mileage one like I did, you better jump on it.

**EDIT*** They only made @2700 cars and they only made them on year. 2006

 

Yes the E55 is for sale. I love the car but its time to move on. Ive had it almost 3 years and have never kept a car this long but couldnt help it with this beast. I figure the CLS will look different but is 90% mechanically the same so I wont miss the E55 too much. LOL

I checked today and both CLS 55s are still for sale. I think you guys are right though maybe I should go with the certified one.

The none certified one offered me a aftermarket warranty for $2k but it was penske or United auto care. Anyone ever hear of those?

Like I said both cars are similarly equipped. They have everything except Premium 2 and Distronic andP30 Performance pkg.
Btw what does Premium 2 include and did the 2006 cls 55 even offer P30 package bc I have not seen one anywhere with it
I thought the p30 pkg started in 07.

On a side note I noticed the CLS 55 sounds louder and better than my E55. Is this just my imagination or is the stock CLS exhaust louder?
And are the E55 and CLS 55 rotors the same?

What should I do guys?

 

Penske and United Auto Care go through Motor Warranty Services of North America - Chicago, which is insured by Virginia Surety Company. This company sends out inspectors who decline most claims (from my experience). I've talked them into covering some that were initially declined, but it's not worth the time on the phone and headaches. Don't give the warranty company any business.

 

Thanks i really appreciate the warranty advice
