Trade E500 for E55?

Is it worth the upgrade? I am tempted, but don't know if it is worth the extra $30,000. The tempting devil is $90K. :v

Since I have the SL55, and the E is my daily driver I have passed for now. But I may go by the dealership on my way home from work.

Since you have SL55 I dunno why would you need another AMG?

I agree the SL 55 is already one hell of a fast car. Save that $30K and get the new S class AMG like me. :p

I would but it would depend on the options. There are only a couple in town on the road right now. If it was tectite I would tell you absolutely yes. That way when people say they saw a grey E55 flying by them in Volusia county @ twice the legal limit I could blame it on you.
