Looking for a ride in a Stock E55

Hi,

I am considering buying a E55. After owning a 2001 BMW M5 and a few other high performance vehicles, I decided to buy a Range Rover for daily use and practicality. I am starting to realize that was a mistake. I miss having a high HP sedan.

The E55 is top on the top of the list for what I am looking for. However with none in the area for sale at a dealer I have not had the opportunity to drive or ride in one.

So I looking for a member in the Bay Area, Ca. I am located in San Jose, CA and just looking for a ride so I can decide if the E55 is indeed what I am looking for in a car.

Thanks,
Rhinoe28

Just find a car for sale on Craigslist and ask for a test drive.

see sig
If you do not have any luck before the 18th of his month I'll be at the EuroSunday event (link below) If you don't see my E55 look for any of my other cars I have listed in my sig. I live 1/2 mile from this event and would be happy to take you out in mine. Car is bone stock with exception of 19in wheels. You could PM me prior to the event.

Ron.

I would to more dealers to a clean E55 and ask for a test drive since you're considering a purchase.

I came here to post this, after meeting up at EuroS -I let a potential shopper drive my e55 around for about 20 minutes or so - hopefully he'll be buying one soon
