Hi,

Im shopping for E55s and this once came up on CL. The seller seems dead set on $20,000 but he has it listed on CL and it's gotten no action for 12 days. Would a few members mind sounding off? Service C just completed. Alternator replaced. New wheels tires no longer has stock rims. Car was lowered. Has cooled seats. No parking sensors. Has Nav. Thanks for the help. I'm considering this or similar or a one year newer Alpina B7.

Thanks,

Ryan

It's a 70K (mileage) car. I like the colors better than this one http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv...974461319.html that has 58K on it but stock rims.

What percentage of retail value do you give to new rims and tires if they don't have stock rims/tires as an option?

I dont want to pay high retail, but I'm prepared to pay a fair price.The guy came off super truculent which was to be expected of someone asking top dollar on craigslist. The seller of the first car is not the original owner but appears to have paid the money to properly maintain his ride. To me at least, when someone buys Michelins versus a no name brand of tires when they buy wheels and tires denotes someone who does not cut corners wen it comes to repairs or maintenance. There just aren't many cars, other than Panteras where you get your money back for modifications when you sell.
