He's only lower by 30-40$, best to let the dealer load it and move it out, I figure.

Say, did you see the "04' Champaigne E55" in CL-AZ adds? That's the one I just purchased last week.
Super happy with it so far, to the point my wife thinks I come home and touch myself after blasting it around town for awhile. LOL!!!
Already ordered some fresh wheels and a splitter for it too.

Good to know! Thank you for checking. I don't know that I saw that one. I have mainly been looking on autotrader more than anything. And lmao!! That's awesome I hope I enjoy one that much too! I've driven a couple and loved it. Could you tell a big difference with the pulley when you drove the silver one?

That "dent" on the passenger side is rather noticeable in the pic i can't imagine it looks any less so in person. Hell I would try to have them work in the repair in the cost of purchase. I would give them $24,000 OTD with the repair work done.

just my thoughts, good luck.

Yeah I really can't believe that I over looked that in the first place. I shot him an email asking about it. I agree with you though it is definatly going to have to come down for me to go ahead with it.

Just hit them up with a low nice number and let them know that is your final offer and that you were unhappy with the ding on that side.

It's not like it's just a fender replacement or anything easy like that, it is with that huge quarter panel side, and I don't like anything in that area being retouched besides from factory!

Just leave em with your number and they will probably call you as a last go to guy if you can wait. That usually is the best way as you get a great deal and save some money for a heat exchange split and an intercooler pump!

Yeah I saw that one! Looks dang clean! Gotta keep it under 60k miles so I can get the platinum warranty. I think I would go crazy with the black too. Lol I'm way too picky when it comes to keeping cars clean. Thanks for the heads up and looking out for me though! Trying to keep my eye out for another silver or darker grey one. Surely one will pop up before too long.

I would not worry about it! I would never buy a car with any paint work or has every been in any accident whatsoever. The phx craigslist is always filled with clean E55's, so keep looking there for a good one
