E55, autotrader, 4k

matt, the engine will be fine if properly looked after, the rest of the mechanicals will be nearing the end of their lives and will need replacing unless they have done already, a friend of mine enjoys running high mileage cars as he gets to work on them often...

£4,695, 160k

£4,895, 90k

mileage doesnt seem to be affecting the price, if you can afford the fuel you have a great choice

Genuine question. Does that sort of mileage bother an engine of that size? Or is the engine fine, just that all the ancillary bits on teh car take a bashing?

If its serviced correctly and does not get bounced off the red line everyday, the engine shouldnt be the biggest concern.
 
PIck up the autotrader link now in original post and the advert says £4990. It did say 3995 this morning didn't it? As someone has said are they testing the market. should I ring tomorrow morning and see whether its for sale or mysteriously withdrawn??:devil: :devil:

As mentioned earlier sure it was 5 or 6995 at the beginning of the week.
Sounds like someone's playing games

So given the high tax and fuel prices how long do you think I need to wait until I can swap my 2000 E320 Cdi Estate (no command) for a 2000 E55 AMG Estate with command?

I keep thinking how nice it would be to have command fitted and buy a tuning box, but the cost of this and the problems with insuring a modified car would mean the sensible option is to change the car :)

My biggest concern is that it would be an unknown quantity and as it has cost a few thousand to bring my car up to scratch I would be hesitant to swap even if I found someone willing.
 
They are about £1K apart right now. Both surprisingly cheap...

yes it was £3995 this morning, somebody in Farnham lying? its a sad day, I shall speak to the mayor and get the plans for my 10metre high wall and moat brought forward, guess who will be on the outside of it, the only thing on the other side would then be the shepard and flock, but its a pub I dont visit anyway, then all I have to do is move the car valeters inside and im all sweet, great,

I thnk for 5k this is a good buy, one went on ebay last night for £3.3 with 3X the mileage, there was a facelift with 2X the mileage that went on ebay on Sunday for 5k and Mr Motul on here is selling his facelift E55 with 2X the mileage for 5k, ok so they both had command and this one doesnt, but it does have low miles, if anybody wants to go and look at it and if I can make it I would be more than welcome to look at it with you as its only down the road,

5k on sunday - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=290258771095

3.3k last night - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=120302426183

I took some pictures of my car to post here and now I dont want to sell it, the current property market may decide that I have to sell it, but can you blame me for wanting to cling onto this car by the skin of my credit card!!!!!!

Is this colour lovely, or am I colour blind???

Regards,

Terry.

And a Facelift model too, but it seems that may not count for nothing? Judging by the price of non Facelift's???

Lovely colour though,

Regards,

Terry.
