no i actually rolled the dice and bought this one from a dealer in texas. so far it seems really nice and the only complaint that i have so far is a clunking in the rear which seems to be a common issue.

Congrats! My E55 was my first MB ever as well, got it about 2 years ago when I turned 40. (A B-day present to me.)

Their great cars but make sure you get an extended warranty!

Alex ,
Well I have had bad experience with extended warranties covering certain items. Do you have any recommendations for extended warranty companies?

The dealer was autos of dallas. The car is really clean as far as I can see. Before I purchased the car I called mercedes dealership here n got the car maintainence record which was all up to date.

Not to hijack, but just to add....I paid $27500 out the door 6 months ago for mine.

Its a one owner car, 76k miles, every option except keyless and pano.

2005 Silver with chrome stock rims and Multi-contour seats. Clean as a whistle, not a scratch on it. Looks brand new

Hope that helps!

and to the OP, great purchase. She looks clean

Sweet ride and welcome to the forum! Don't take this the wrong way. But, there is nothing brand new (ish) about a 9 year old car.
