Help me out guys, thinking this might be the one!!!

Hey guys been on the hunt for a few different cars but came across this E55 tonight and thinking this might be the one. Thoughts on this one?

https://charlotte.craigslist.org/ctd...290378793.html

Trying to keep the cost as low as possible to keep some funds for mods.

I was looking for blk on blk, no pano, keyless go, parktronic, distronic...the add says fully loaded lol. Clearly no keyless go. ugh, Oh well, looks pretty good though.

Would love to hear your thoughts guys! This will be my daily + stoplight brawler. will definitely, be modding after making sure maintenance is up to par.

Anyone in Charlotte NC want to check it out for me?

I'd be wary of anyone who misspells the word "meticulously"...

$15-16K seems a bit high for that car especially considering options and unknowns mechanically and condition wise. Pre purchase inspection is a must, and a visual inspection would be very beneficial. Says "good" condition, might be your "ruff", just saying. This doesn't strike me as the "one", if you are patiently searching. Good luck with the search.

Would definitely do a ppi. But where are you seeing 15-16k? They're asking $13,9 and I'd offer 11-12k tops.

If the PPI checks out, I think $13-13.9k is absolutely fair. But it's a little unreasonable to think it will fly through a PPI (there are just SO many wear items on these cars). You'll have to consider what needs replacement and if you can do it yourself, then shoot for around $11-12k.

Sorry my mistake. I thought that was the price in the Craig's list post, but when I look today I see $13.9. So yes, price and your offer are more in line than I believed. Hopefully someone can evaluate the cosmetics for you.
