Considering a preowned E55 (20k miles)...

Hello all, I am new to the forum.

I am considering a 2002 E55. I''m filled with trepidation about this. I have only bought new cars before. I am planning to get the extended warranty (it is a star mark vehicle).

I had considered a brand new C32 -- its priced about the same. The performance stats are similar too. OK, I will keep posting here if I end up with the E55!

Look at it this way, you're getting a new car warranty for the next 80,000 miles and someone else paid the depreciation. The risk is lower than a new car, at least IMO.

I sure couldn't agree more with DFW01E55. Over $28K off MSRP, 100,000 mile Mercedes warranty, voice-activated phone, CD changer, COMAND, plus Xenons/washer, power rear sunshade, sunroof, spare tire/wheel, AND fast enough to lose my license & insurance on any given day. I love it.

Check out the video from Powerpuffmookie...Extended warranties are great but you don't want to use them. You really don't know what the car has been subjected to. Unless you get the chance to meet the "little old retired lady"......... Good Luck.

My 2001 is available

Not a little old lady, but my car has been well taken care of!

2001 E55 Silver with silver/black interior. Not as many options as the other car though. Ventilated seats and CD changer. 34k miles.

Asking 43,500. Starmark car is going to run you close to 50 (at least that's most dealers are asking if you do a national search)

email me at akinder@ameritech.net if interested.
