My reason for the poll (other than to make most of you laugh) is that owners who've had their E55s for a few years just take it for granted how easy it was to get their cars as CPO, or single owner - now most cars are 3-4 owners deep, and have been passed through auctions, used car lots and who knows what... it's hard to find cars under 60k miles that are this old.
I bought a 1-owner, 2006 E55 with 25,000 miles less than a year ago..... well optioned (see sig) and I got a 4 year / 75,000 mile warranty as well.
The cars are still out there.... though not at the price limit you've probably set for yourself.
Increase your budget, or decrease your expectations....

I've got it.
Toadster,
I will prove to you that this is a great community of cool people, if you will work with me here. Give us a list of the perfect car you would buy. In other words, tell us what years, what colors, what options, mileage range and the max price you are willing to pay. Once we have this information, we will work tirelessly to locate your car for you.
Now here is where you need to do a little work for us. You need to show us the money! Get your bank to write a letter, please address it to MB World Members, that shows you have the funds in your account to purchase or a letter from a financial institution that shows you are approved to purchase said vehicle with a loan.
Then you will see what great people there are here and we can finally feel good that you at least own one of these cars.

Turdy do what the nice man said and tell us what you want and have to spend. Help us help you, or help us prove your all talk. We're getting to the bottom of this one way or another.

I really doubt that he is serous... When I was ready to buy the car I got it in less than 10 days. There are cars for sale u just need to look for them and then get it...

Its the slow time of year for me at work so I was browsing the ads looking for something that might work for him already.

You just cuased me to waste 5 minutes of my life, and I'll never get it back. You suck Turdster!
I bought a one owner with 22k on it, about 8 months ago. All you have to do is have the money. Other wise don't bother and STOP wasting every ones time.

^ Almost certain Toadster is over-analyzing every possible happenstance and eventuality from his engineer's perspective.
We can only hope someday he gets an AMG.
Didn’t vote, although I did buy a BNIB GMC last month. :D

I have one in my sights, and just talked to the owner 5 minutes ago - it's an out of state car for me, so that will pose some fun issues (i.e. how to test drive or shipment)
The owner has no issues with the PPI so that's good, and the car has under 60k miles so will qualify for a better warranty price than higher-mileage E55s, 2nd owner as well..
Tax/Tags & Warranty will most likely add $6-7k to the price (which sucks, but I'm not a wrench when it comes to cars)
so yes, I'm actively looking.

If your serious and have the money to buy, there is a one owner car I saw today. It was an 05 with 38k on the clock. It was black opal with two tone seats. VERY VERY clean! It's not even on there website yet, but it's at MB of Fort Lauderdale. They are asking $39k. I'm sure I can get my guy to come down some. You just have to prove you have the money. It also has color matched staggered 20's.

I sold my '04 E55 last month with 37000miles.
It was an absolute pin & it was advertised for over a month at a reasonable price. Turdburglar coulda bought it.
