awesome, now the only thing you need is the Chrysler extended warranty before your CPO expires. From what I've read in this forum everyone give Chrysler thumbs up.

I will definitely be getting one of those warranties. I really don't feel like forking over another $4k for 2 years of warranty.

Nice! Would love to get the wife into an E63 wagon (or an X5M) when it comes time when we have to change her X5 4.6iS.

OP-congrats, 55s look great in white...

ChuckZ - Thanks again - would have never guessed the rears had a 3.25in lip - looks absolutely fantastic. Definitely on the short list - lucky for me my B-day and Christmas are close together and I have a long standing tradition of buying myself presents that I really "need".

Jacksdad - congrads - looks good - way to make the dealership work for you for a change (was it ASC in Bethesda?).

Jacksdad · 11-05-2009, 09:01 PM

Motorkas- it was Euro in Bethesda. I think ASC is over in VA. The ad went up on cars.com Sunday(when they were closed). I went over Sunday evening at 10PM looked at the car (which still wasn't cleaned up yet) and made up my mind to be at the dealership as soon as they opened Monday morning. There weren't even pictures up online yet and they already had emails from people across the country looking to buy the car. Normally I'm not so impulsive when it comes to buying a car, but in this case I didn't want to lose out. Guess it was meant to be...even though my wife thinks my choice in baby haulers should have been something a little less expensive.

You're correct, they don't have a 3.5" lip. I took that from the auction I bought them on and if I remember correctly the offset was a bit different. It's more like a 2" lip. Contact the seller, they'll get you wheels with the proper offset. They really are great to deal with.

Richard55 · 11-06-2009, 10:44 PM

Looks like there are more wagons on here than I thought.

What is everyone's favorite thing about the wagon? It is silly, but I think it is neat in cold weather the way the back window fogs up from the exhaust for a moment when you stomp on the gas. I assume that doesn't happen in the sedan. That and the way the wagons don't even get a glance from the police.

tscales · 11-07-2009, 10:15 AM

Oh what an easy question.

Stupid fast 7-passenger car.

Need I say more?

motorkas · 11-08-2009, 06:32 PM

Jacksdad - thanks for the correction - I meant Euro (always confuse the two) - Congrads again - curious to see what your wife's opinion is going to be after a few weeks behind the wheel. My wife went from purposely not driving the car to register some kind of protest

to now proactively and sheepishly asking "is ok for me to drive the car". This weekend we were playing with a Boxster S at speeds that literally made her cover her mouth in horror but I actually consider that a step in the right direction - last week she would have been screaming blood murder with all sorts of profanity laced threats thrown in for good measure - this car is capable of corrupting even the most uncorruptable

. Give it time. . . and have a tape recorder ready for when she finally admits the error of her ways

.

ChuckZ- once again - thanks or the info.

tscales · 11-08-2009, 07:21 PM

Shoot, my wagon became my wife's car when we got married in February. She lets me drive it though

Can't complain, given my DD.

I think I'm in the same boat. Right now she thinks it's impractical to have a super fast wagon, but I think she'll come around. To her a car is a car. When we got married I had to beg her to please sell her 95 Accord, and to this day she still misses it.

So far I'm enjoying the car, but there are a few kinks that need to be worked out, and I am a little skeptical that the dealership went over the car as thoroughly as the CPO info says they should have.
I'm a little annoyed that the keyless go isn't working, and the car is telling me it should be serviced in less than 4K. I'll be making a service appointment this week to get everything worked out.

There is an 07 e63 with P2 package for sale at the Mercedes dealer in NY and they are asking 62K with 100K warranty. I think $55K will take it home.

Got a link for the ad..?

Been searching on and off for an E55 or E63 Wagon, but pretty lean results.

Found one on ebay a few weeks ago, but it was a bit high for my checking account...

Not sure I am ready right now as I keep putting my money in cheap real estate in Florida for investment purpose, but kind of hoping to find a clean AMG wagon for a price I can not resist...As in a short-sale..

Love my E-500 Wagon, and the only thing that could top it would the Uber Wagon...Send me a PM if any of you guys see or hear about a smoking hot deal on one of those.

(Got to be the same color as my 500 so wifey won't notice)

Keep the pictures coming, makes my mouth water...Yum.

Nice ride. I found a new E63 wagon at the dealer early this spring but it was white on beige and it just didn't work for me. I like your black on black. A mean sleeper.

What dealership is this wagon located at? Do you know if it is still for sale?

I'm in the market for an 07 wagon and having it CPOed isn't a requirements but I want one with a clean history and relatively low miles.

Are their any other sites that are good for looking for E63 Sedan/Wagons? I used cars.com, ebay.com and autotrader.com.

according to autotrader.com it is still for sale:

Don't know if MBUSA has a searchable inventory function on their site but you might look there in addition to the ones you note above.....

gedelea · 11-15-2009, 09:08 PM

I actually thought that one was in NJ. Thanks for the heads up.

Wish4_e55Wagon · 11-16-2009, 02:07 AM

Did you see this wagon in the classifieds? The seller turned down $55K a few weeks back and the ebay listing ended with no sale (second time posted) at $56K. I believe a winter set of wheels come with the car as well as new OZ 19" wheels. The seller may even have the original OEM wheels. Give him a shout if he still has the car. 21K miles.

62K is pretty high even for a dealership. Low to mid 50s is more realistic. As always, only worth what someone is willing to pay.

I'm guessing you're basing your assessment on sedans since there is only 1 07 E55 wagon for sale?

......a quick look at autotrader shows 46 sedans:

Asking prices

Highest Price: $65,500

Lowest Price: $47,800

Average Price: $55,647

Based on the above and given it is a super rare wagon, I'm thinking they're not far off....

Wish4_e55Wagon · 11-16-2009, 03:35 PM

The rarity of the wagon can go either way and prices have increased since gas prices have gone down. Throw in the economy and more people are willing to chase pre-owned cars. 05 e55 wagons were going for $37K - $40K, an 06 when for $46K albeit 30K miles. There was an outlier on Ebay at 45K, but the person who bought that wagon sold a classic Benz circa 1940 a week prior to winning the auction. 07 prices dropped 5K to 10K (from dealer asking price) during that time.

That E63 wagon has been at the dealer for three weeks now. I'm still betting $55K takes it home. But there is a chance someone will offer closer to 60K at which point the dealer will let it go. I would chase the wagon in Chicago - perhaps you can strike a deal on paper and save a few thousand on registration. Good luck.

It looks like it closed on 11-13-09. Doesn't appear as an Ebay sale, so maybe he sold it offline. I saw the car several months ago when he first listed. Great condition, but the colors didn't work for me and I thought it was priced a little high when he had 18k miles on it.

gedelea · 11-16-2009, 08:56 PM

I saw the dealer car listed for $58,800 a couple of months ago. It sat at that price and didn't move. The new dealer CPOed the vehicle and priced it up to $61,999. I think it will go for $55-56k unless someone is totally in love with the car.
