This car seems too good to be true...

http://www.lmgcars.com/2004-Mercedes...0/Details.aspx

Called, they said it's completely up to date on all maintenance, clean carfax and autocheck (will provide at dealership), clean title... what am I missing for a dealer to sell a great looking E55 with 81k miles for... $13,995?

Always run Autocheck. Carfax is not as good as Autocheck when comes to accident.

Looks solid. You have to see it in person. You could sell it for 15900 pretty easy if everything Checks out.

I'd go check it out in person. So many things will reveal themselves you can't pick up in the pictures.

Would you guys suggest taking it to MB for a PPI, or know any good shops in the Orlando area to go to?
