similar miles but 1K cheapper

 

damn, thats pretty cheap

 

hoky poky the prices are going so low.

 

Only on bad cars.

I've been in the market for about 2 weeks now. There are a lot of suspect cars out there. I would never buy one of these ebay cars.

You can find good ones for 57K+

You can find bad ones for a lot less.

 

Thats about right. Its an 04 with a lot of miles. A 211 E class @ 50000 Miles, its almost time to squash it . I would know, I used to have one.

 

What? Are the E55's not very good cars? I was looking to get one for my wife.

 

No, they're great cars. Depreciation is just getting the best of them as pretty much every other Mercedes. Just don't buy a high mileage car.

 

Thanks Raza I was looking at a 03 with 5,800 miles; looks new. I am going to set up a test drive.

 

Are you kidding? I had a 211 with 150 000 miles, still going strong(I know the current owner). The 210 is better though, more robust. The 210 has around 340 000 miles, no problems.

 

Weren't the e55's 90k new?
Huge depreciation in just 3 yrs.

 

A number of dealer ebay cars have "issues" with their past. Most high line retailers only ebay cars that won't bring premium money on their lots. Paint work, slight mechanical issues, etc. I have been to the high line auction in Riverside and PHX a number of times. My buddy has a paint meter and you would not believe how many premium cars have paint and body work done. Just an opinion, but I would be careful...

 

By a paint meter you mean the lil device you put on a fender or body part and it will measure how thick the paint is? or something like that.....? if so where did you friend get his? i really want one, also how much would it run me? thanks.

 

Elcometer 311. You can buy on line. It is always a good investment if you buy and sell high line cars or just want to make sure your not getting hosed.
