I hope you got a good deal for it. |
Actually it was perfect timing.The styling of the E63 is only slightly different.The main difference is The E63 is n/a and it gave up over 50lbs of torque.It doesn't develop its power now until around 4500rpm's.The response from diehard MB drivers has been at best lukewarm.What makes the E55amg special is the lowend torque.
From a financial standpoint,I don't buy cars for an investment.I buy them to drive and enjoy.So trade-in value is totally a nonissue to me.

No,I passed on it.When I went for the testdrive the car was suffering from some transmission woes and I took that as an omen.
