The suspension looks a little wonky, I think the previous owner had larger wheels on it and adjusted the suspension, the front is really high for those stock wheels.

Request a VMI on the VIN of the car, this will give you an idea of the services records as well.

do some searching on this forum, I believe some 07's were prone to valve/head issues...

FWIW my 05' E55 has less mileage than this car so don't let low cost sway you.

Here's one you might like. It's priced to sell quickly.

That is good information sir, I appreciate it. I did not know they were prone to that. That is something to look for in the service records to see if they have been worked on/fixed? Would you buy a car that has had work like that done to it?

Yah .. this one looks mint. If I were in the market for E63, I'd pick this one. The craigslist one needs to be push started

Need your advice again guys, do you know of a reputable auto transport company. Possibly looking for some personal advice from someone who has shipped a car and had a good experience.

It seems as if you are looking for everything the cheapest possible to save a buck? Good luck in ownership!

Just an observation so don't get your pqnties in a bunch.

No offense taken man. I dont know where you would get that from, but you are entitled to your opinion. I have a fairly good idea of what I am getting into. But thank you for your concern.

Mercedes Benz, 1000 plus miles, open transport, are you thinking with your brain or your wallet? Closed transport for sure, just what will you say when the driver goes through a hail storm and the car is covered with divets or just a mild case of sand blasting from road debris? Best Fly out to pickup and inspect the car then drive it home, this way there are no surprises.

Driving back is the fun part of buying a car out of state. But I love road trips.

I just had mind shipped back i2 months ago in a closed transport from Chicago. I was told that it was supposed to be close to $1200, but got it for an even grand.
