2003 Supercharged MB E55 .. 500HP. For 35K. Should I get it?
 

Buddy of mine owns a dealership and just got this sweet trade in for peanuts and asked me if I want to buy it. Silver color, 46K miles.
Should I get it.

pics????

you don't now how E55 looks like?

autotrader.com is your friend.

I'm going to go with "yes". Seems like an alright deal and it's a pretty badass car.

if you can afford the other costs that come with a car like that: yes, do it

yes, I know. 12 MPG sucks bu re-sell value on it?

Why wouldn't you buy it? and why isn't he ebaying it?

like I said, we're friends and I did some things for him and he does few for me.

That is a really good deal. I test drove E55's before I decided on my new ride... I say go for it. :)

Do it man!

make sure its a CPO/Starmark car and is covered by warranty. Repairs on amg are costly.. Keep in mind that 2003 had no factory navigation systems. The 5.5 kompressor is a great motor and you will have tons of fun with this car the price is very low also.

bad buy
5 years old
just lease a new one for $1200 a month

Well, you posted the thread, at least you can do is post a pic !

$35k is about market value for a 2003 with 46K miles.

that price honestly seems dead on. compare with ebay, seems that is the range for it with those miles

i bet its a fuckin blast to drive

car is insane. one of the fastest sedans ive ever driven

That's a decent deal, but keep in mind the expenses that are coming up, around the corner...brake pads will be replaced soon...timing belt...60K tune-up...etc

If you are just looking for pimp-status, then go for it; practically-speaking, there are better routes you could go.

wow that 03 would be worth 50g's here...

No, no pimp status. Just thought it may be good deal. it was time to buy something for myself. Last time I went to buy “my car” in BMW dealership with my wife I came back with Mini Cooper. Guess whos driving it now???

2003's had some recalls you need to watch for. and its already out of the factory warranty, I would never buy an AMG MB if its out of warranty. parts cost a lot, maintenance is a b*tch on these. its a supercharged car, gota watch out for some things. good luck

Buying and older benz? I guess you want to have that car in the shop every other weekend and when it happens, have your wallet handy.

They are pretty sweet rides..go for it

35k...dude go for it!!

You don't realise how lucky you are in the US to get a car like that so cheap.
