Been lurking for a looong time, and finally pulled the trigger. Got mine last Friday! The drive home from the dealer was unbelievable.

Its a 2006 Designo Black/Mocha with 81K Miles. I know the miles are high and I'm taking a gamble .. Honestly if it wasn't for this forum, id just get a newer E350 or get another Lexus (Had a gs300 prior to this).

Cant wait for the blizzard to pass and the roads to clear so I can start using it as my DD.

 

Welcome. You'll enjoy her much more on a dry payment!

 

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

congrats on your purchase!!!

 

Congratulations, probably the best choice you made. Have fun and drive safe.

 

You will be a very happy driver. I can say that my E55 is the best all around car I have owned. or should I say: pwned!

It may not handle like a slot car, but the torque is more addictaive than Charlie Sheens briefcase

 

Congrats and enjoy the beast! Amazing you can pick up a car like this nowadays under 30.

 

My thoughts exactly. For me the decision was down to a 2001-03 Porsche 996 or the Beast. Everywhere I looked and asked, the consensus on the 996 was that the engine has a life expectancy at around 130K Miles. I drive 90 miles a day, and plan to drive this thing well into the 200K mark!

I'm no stranger to MB stealerships either. My wife drives a GL450, and Ive taken it to the dealer for all the maintenance. Ive asked the Service Manager once about E55 Maintenance, and that I was planning to get one. He had a smirk on his face and advised me to make sure I get a warranty - go figure...

Lots of DIY in my future to keep the 55 running, but I know it will be all worth it!

 

Congrats and Enjoy

 

Good work man!! enjoy.

 

Welcome to the club!

 

Congrats and welcome!

 

Seriously man, do you write comedy for a living? Your posts are *** funny.

To the op, welcome! Love your SN! Nothing to worry about with 80k miles, as long as its been maintained.
