Buying/looking at an E55, need help!
So, I have been searching for the perfect E55 for me, and I think I found it. I would love to get some opinions on the price and everything though.
It is a 2003 tectite e55 with 80k miles. I can get it for 20.5k, and it has the following options: panoramic roof, keyless go, dynamic seats, and ventilated /heated seats.
What do you guys think?

I don't think 03's are nearly as bad as some make them out to be. Much of it was computers needing reprogramming and cars that had problems had that fixed long ago as they are now nearly 10 years old.
I have an 03 and love it. I also work on my own cars and have connections on things I don't want to do usually. If its clean, descent mileage, and a good price I say get it. 20.5 is too much for 80K miles IMHO though. I'd be looking to get it for 17-18.5 if I even was to consider one with the kinda mileage.

Ok, I will go in with a lower offer, don't know how much they'll budge though. As far as getting an '03, it is either get an '03 with those miles, or get an '04/'05 with over 90k, so I was leaning towards to the '03. Thank you both for the replies, just need to find one for a little cheaper then if they don't agree to lower the price.

2004 E55 AMG
i just got mine at the end of march couple of things i have found:
see if the crank position sensor has been done. mine went about a month after i bought the car (only 47k at the time), also check the driver side door lock to make sure with the keyless go you can open and lock the door. all of my doors work except the drivers side. finally if you get an intermittent message "battery protection convenience functions temporarily unavailable" check your battery connection mine was loose on the positive terminal and that solved it fortunately

Save up more, and buy a later model (04-05). These cars have big boy price tags when something goes wrong, and the '03's tend to be problematic (not always).

I think I know of the car you're looking at. I would start at 18k and work up from there. If its the one I'm thinking of, they have had it car for a long time.
