hey guys, im new hereI currently own a BMW 530 looking to get an e55 that i have always wanted.I wanted some opinion from the mercedes guys on what i should do. thanks in advance for any input or suggestions.

Iam looking at an 03 e55 with 56k mile.. of course out of warranty and its not a CPO.I havent read much about the car on the forums and comon problems that go wrong after the 50k mark. either way i am a buit reluctant to get it and purchase additional warranty from the dealer or after market cause i feel theres nothing like a factory warranty.

I dont plan to drive much but of courseI will drive it hard every once in a while...im wondering and asking for suggestions because the price im getting on this car is about 41k and im guessingI would spend and additional 2 to 3k on ext warranty wich i will def buy on such an expensive car. so do those figures sound ok for that type of car and milage... ohh and also the car dosent have xenons which kinda bugs me...I dont want to install an after market kit causeI dont know if it'll look the same...

my other option is just to forget this car and wait till about dec of this year 07. untill i save up enough for a rather large down payment on an 04 with low milage and factory warranty.. or even luck out an find a CPO used car.

so botom line... im a bit weary of 56k miles!! and ext warranty.. my last 2 cars i got rid of them b4 the factory warranty exp..... can some of u guys who know this car more than me say go for it or wait and get it cpo or low miles 04 because ext warranty is not 100% good.

thank you again anything u guys can say will be helpfull as i donot want to get my self into some sh*t and make a bad decision.....

 

Im waiting to save up for a lower mileage CPO one. i heard the repair bills on these cars can get expensive.
