Where is everyone buying their E55's? I went to autotrader and there were quite a few for sale in the states for sale.

Where have most of you purchased your vehicles?

Seems like the search engine is pretty good. Just waiting for the DW to give the go ahead. I have a feeling that as we reach winter months there will be more available. My buddy who owns a MB ind. shop here in town has one that he sold 2 years ago that might be coming back... but it has about 125k miles on it.

I'm currently looking and may be wrapping up a purchase.

I crawled all that fit my criteria on eBay and AutoTrader.com, then checked cars.com.

All that I found on cars.com were already seen among the many more on AutoTrader.com.

I am looking right now, I've noticed you can get a better price on the forums. The other advantage is the fact that more times than not you are buying from someone that takes care of their car.

Re: buying from the forums.... I kinda got that feeling. If someone is going to post on here and then attempt to sell their car you have a pretty good shot of finding something that has work done and has been well taken care of. Just have to find the right opportunity.

There was one that sold a month or 2 ago on here that looked phenom. Had the perfect mods on it and almost all the heavy work had been done in the last 1-2 years. Had 90k miles but was around 18k.

Timing is everything.

I find mine on Autotrader, but use Ebay for real world pricing, aka what does it sell for that is.
