I have convinced the wife that an e-55 or 63 is a reasonable car for around town. So the hunt begins. let me know if anyone has a line a new ride for christmas.

Kevin,

I searched for almost 2 years before finding my wagon.
Set up searches in Ebay, cars.com, traderonline, and google to notify you when anything with "E55 wagon" or "E63 wagon" is posted....

Good luck, I will let you know if I see any for sale....

 

thanks, perhaps not for this christmas- I have an ML55, the estate would make a nice addition to the quiver.

Not 55s but some 63s here:

Excellent choice, but you'll run into the problem that owners love them and the price has fallen enough to make them worth keeping as an 'extra car'. I can't see us EVER selling ours.

 

Where are you located at?

 

I just bought my E63 wagon 2 weeks ago. Call around to the MB dealers. They know what is coming in off lease. They will be able to tell you if there is one coming back. Good Luck

 

I am in south jersey,

I looked at the 63's on autotrader- one has some pretty sub par wheels chromed AMG knock offs and the other i did not hear back from the seller.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.

The one with 58K miles was up for sale in late 2008 around November time frame. It had about 12K miles then. The same pictures are posted for that car now so I'm wondering if it never sold or someone got it and is reusing the old pictures. I almost got that one but then I found a 08 closer to me.

 

I emailed with the owner about the 63 in texas with 58k it has had 4 owners in 2 years-the car fax made me nervous so I am gonna pass on that one-the search continues.

Hehe... FASN8N beat me to the E55 estate.. I was about to leave the country and couldn't get out to the East Coast/get the cash together fast enough.

There are "plenty" (relatively speaking) of E63s, but the E55s are just rare as hell can be. With another gentleman in LA also actively looking, it seems damn near impossible after searching for only 4 months. Our baby's due in March, and I'd love to replace the aging W210 wagon by then.

 

Sorry Tony! I was like "white on rice" when I found this car

 

I got the email update from autotrader when it hit. I reached out to the dealer it is a cpo car, but in my experience that actually means very little. SO we will see where that one goes-

The search continues.

I have an ML55 with 125k on the clock new tires new pagid brakes rotors drums etc. in NJ drop me a line if anyone is interested.

I'm guessing you've seen this one..?? Pretty steep on the price if you were originally looking for 55's but it looks clean...Minus the fake me out chromers on it...
