Exclamation E55 - expensive to maintain?

click picture for full article...



do you concur?
they don't mention any aftermarket warranties... which I believe could extend the 'non-maintenance' life of the car

If it's a CPO and only 21k miles then you should have no problem getting a warranty. I got my '04 with 22k miles and got and additional 80k mile warranty with no problem.
Buy the car already!

I have my E55 for sale if you are interested. I am in Atherton. The car is in the shop right now having a compression test done. Let me know if you are interested in getting an E55 for half the price.
