S211 E55K Estate on AT

[rockits]

Apparently the seller had a call late last night from someone who offered full asking price but he was happy to still go through with the sale with me as agreed. Not the cheapest one I could have bought but I feel it is one of the best so worth paying a little more I think.

Got a train early this morning into London with my son (work experience!) then train from Paddington to Bristol. Drove back via Reading and collected a load of speakers on the way back for our outbuilding play/games room project. So worked out very well. Very good and successful day

Congrats and there was me thinking it's expensive at £16k and wont sell.

Thank you. I will. It was a pleasure to drive back from Bristol in. I never forgot how good an E55K wagon was but I did forget a little of how very very good they really are. It is a relief to finally get to a happy place as the hours looking and finding what you are looking for is expensive and takes its toll. I am sure we all know and have been there many times.

Thanks. Yes, I think there could be a little premium to pay for some examples but I think it is worth it. It has a few niggly issues that all take a bit of time to resolve but I can do this over a few years as none are massively large or urgent issues really.

I think there is a wide range of pricing on cars like this not just E55K wagons. There is a huge difference as we all know between the lesser and better cars. You can easily spend many thousands making a lesser one better but it still doesn't often ever get to a resale value of a car that starter from a better point in the first place. Just IMHO of course but have seen this a lot especially in the Maserati space.

Thanks. Interesting....don't have a FB account but the seller was a decent guy and a real enthusiast. So it seems a pretty decent example so far. Not sure I've seen an E55K come up for sale in Flint Grey for quite a few years so refreshing to not be looking at another silver one.

I’ve never seen one either. That’s a handsome thing. Al things happen for a reason.

That looks great, love the colour !

Seems a pretty.rare colour. Saw one local to me in Flint Grey but was a 2008 E500 I think. Another rare car and colour.

I always wondered about fate and things happen for a reason as doubted it so much last few years. Maybe once it has worked in my favour.

They might need to improve their ad a bit and ad some more pics.......but maybe not if it is enough to get someone there to look at it.

Seems to have done most of its miles in the 3-5 years then not so much after with some periods laid up or not doing much.
