Thinking of a 2003 E55

http://www.classictx.com/inventory/view/2487811

the car feels smooth and looks amazing but I'm not a benz mechanic i have some light background but nothing on a performance car and this will be my first what do i need to pay special attention or just check to to make sure i don't get boned.The dealer went down to $22,500 almost instantly so i think i can get it a little lower.

Search your questions have already been answered 1000's of times! $22.5 k for an 03 is a little to expensive.

I never went to go see that car, but it was for sale even before when I bought mine last summer. They seem to raise and lower the asking price here and there for whatever reason. I personally think the car has been in an accident before since the trunk emblems sit lower than normal, perhaps indicating the trunk has been painted.

Btw, the indy dealer I bought from listed and sold a few more E55s since I got mine and this one is still sitting unsold. That's not a good sign.

it didn't look like the emblem was any lower than it was supposed to be but i guess i did not pay that much attention to it and I'm guessing your from the same area where did you get yours from?

I got mine from Legend Auto in Dallas. I don't think they have any right now though.

Im aftraid no one is going to do the search for you esp on superbowl weekend.

I would recommend getting a 2004. There is a really nice one in the classifieds here from a trusted member.

That car is basically bare. Only options on it are rear sunscreen and phone. The price is way too high! Keep looking or have them come down a lot more.
