E55 vs M5 Depreciation
Hi,
Has anyone noticed how relatively cheaply one can now get a 2000 E55 under factory warranty? On Ebay, one sold yesterday with 7k miles for $44K.
One would be lucky to procure an M5 for anything much less than $60K.
This makes the 55 a bargain for the used 4dr lux performance buyer!
Incidentally, I spent some time in an E55 on the weekend. Compared to my 94 E500, engine noise especially at 2500rpm onwards, is far more intrusive! The car was MB starmarked, 2000, w/ 17k miles. In fact the motor noise was positively annoying compared to the 500E. I am just wondering if this was an anomaly, or whether MB has just overcooked the exhaust to increase the 'performance image'.
Any thoughts, comments???
