I lol'd.

sorry bout the screaming guys.

what does op mean??

i'd pass and find another 05/06 E55 for mid 20s or high 20s with some up to date maintenance/service with 55-60k miles on it.

Look at it this way, you spend $20k for an 03,
airmatic shocks go, $500 per front for arnott reman shocks. Labor DIY or dealer charge $1200/side plus labor

leaky fuel sending unit, $900 fix at dealer or $500 for parts and DIY
spark plugs/coils, $300parts, or dealer $600


Get my drift. Find an 05/06 with these issues done and you can enjoy the car without having to fix it.

OP means Original Poster.

You have a hilarious screenname.

As novae said...steer clear of this one, why would you want an e55 with no nav etc? Its probably silver too. The high miles arent the issue here..

C55AMGWANTED

Thanks for input guys this is exactly what i'm looking.

If you are a DIY guy, i'd say 17k or so would be a fair price... Prices for parts are expensive, but if you say take 7-8k for parts to get the car in tip top shape, that would be about 25k in the car and everything woudl be just about brand new...That's what I did and pretty happy about it! As for a 2005-06...the regular maintenance would still have to be done anyways, unless you find one that has already been done..Good luck

mb nav is horrible and pano shouldn't be a deal breaker over a regular moon roof. airmatic as well as fuel sending unit have been proven to go out at any time on any model year so i don't see any advantage on a newer year if this one is in good mechanical shape.

i say go for it if it's in good shape and within your budget!

C55AMGWANTED

Thank you im diy guy i have been working on cars for a 18 years. The vehicle has had ball joints replaced, rear shock replaced, front and rear brakes replaced.

So it has some work done.

just not sure

the color of the car is tectite gray

the car is very clean.

Toadster

what's wrong with silver? it's SO easy to keep it looking clean, while it's really dirty (LOL)

C55AMGWANTED

Thank you for your input. I want learn about the car a little more now are they all equipped with the air matic suspension? There is an open recall for a fuel filter module does have anything to do with the sending unit? Heated seats? Dynamic seats? Is there a difference?



Any info is appreciated,

Mike

chiromikey

all cars are equipped with airmatic. the recall is for the fuel filter unit on the passenger side but ironically it's the sending unit on the driver side that fails (leaks). i believe they all have heated seats but cooled seats are an option. the dynamic seats option has bolsters that activate during corners and the pulse/massage feature, a feature that i personally would look for. the other option to look for is the hid headlights. if you have access to its service history, make sure the intercooler pump has been replaced within the last couple of years or expect to have an aftermarket unit installed asap for around $150-200.

phampau

That is a a start with the work done. I would recommend, all new filters, plugs, wires, fluids, etc...And to make sure to have some extra $$$ in case things go bad...parts are not cheap! Good luck!

tgoss

$15k and they should throw in an OTPHJ.

Becks Imports

A 2003 with 86K in silver just sold at the Manheim auction for $15.5K plus fees not long ago. If that's the same car, pass, as it was listed in below average condition, which can mean a lot of things but usually means prior paint/body repairs.

The Pano roof definitely is not a deal breaker. It may look nice, but it is prone to creaking and adds something like 8,000lbs to the top of the car.

gaspam

i would not get a pano roof and would shun cars with them... these cars creek enough as it is so not need to add another creeky part

C55AMGWANTED

Thanks Bruce This car is dark grey color but roughly same mileage. what do you think i should offer them they are asking for 19980 i was thinking like 17500 tops 18000 what do u think.

Thanks,
Mike
