I have been in contact with someone local offering an 04 1 Owner dealer maintained E55 AMG with 90k miles. What is the most someone would pay for this car? Blue book is 23k. I was thinking 25k?

20k

No way 25 unless it had about 25k less miles or several mods. The most I would personally pay would be $22.5 for an 04 with 90k miles

MProved

I said 22k lowest

EdoubleNickel

Less, I paid less.

MProved

21?

Faast

How about 22.3K

MProved

what should I look out for when I test drive it?

I paid less than 22 for the same car 90k dealer maintained 2 owner from a dealer so around there would be good.

what the heck... !! people are proud to own a e55 so why always e55 owners try to low the price of our own cars? then complaint about e55 resale prices are to low .... ... I have a 2004... so I will say.... wow for 25K is a bargain, what? with 90K? should cost 27K !! + somebody total his car yesterday, so is a minus one E55 price should jump to $29k !! will be a collectible car in a few years... AM I CORRECT ????

I paid $33.5k 17 months ago and mine had 22k miles if that helps

Getting the picture on price, but what should I keep an eye out for during a test drive

engine is somewhat noisy, that's normal. listen for a clunking sound coming from the rear of the car, that could be a indicator the rear subrame bolts are gone. with 90k miles this is very possible. also look for wobble near the pulleys and tensioners and make sure all the options are in working order. My buddy bought his car with heated seats and the next day realized that they didnt work
Check the tires for even wear and make sure all the tools are in the trunk.

it's not people, its the market that dictates price. A product is only worth what someone is WILLING TO PAY, not what someone is selling it at. Also, the high cost of maintenance is another reason people tend to stay away from these cars.

Low 20's.

OWENthatsmyname

I paid just over 20 for my 05 with 56K on it. I wouldnt pay more than 17 for that

Max.H

YES

MProved

17k!!! what?

chawkins2001

Loll.

That Guy is dreaming, save yourself the embarrassment of that type of offer.

He is a newb too, so who knows if he even owns an E55

+1. $17k is an insult :

$20k to $22k depending on options I think is good given the condition is good.

Maybe you don't mind purchasing salvage title cars

Going to pick her up tomorrow assuming it checks out! Silver/Black Loaded with Navi!

AMG_RL

that's what I was guessing as well.

Pricing is local, but I think closer to $20K. This: https://mbworld.org/forums/mercedes-...tite-gray.html nice looking 70K mile 2004 car hasn't sold at 23.5K after almost 2 months. I'd be looking to pay $2K less because of the additional 20K miles, assuming all else is equal.
