bs79s Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hi all, I've just sold my 05 545i (didn't like rough tranmission on V8). I've looked around but not much choice for me. One I found is 2006 GS430 black on black, 29k miles, Mark Levinson, Nav I think I can make it at $27000. What do you think? Another choice is 2006 MBZ E350 44k mile, no option, but $17000. Thank you all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidN Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I traded my E500 for a GS b/c I preferred the ride comfort, handling and reputation for quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSRQ Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I bought a similar vehicle, silver over black, with 52k miles and G Spider wheels for 23k last month. Added an after market 4/50k warranty for just under 2k. I would say 27k is not bad for the mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Make sure the GS doesnt have any dash rattles. The GS line is famous for rattle problems especially the 06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esowers Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 bs79s, I would go GS all the way - as a former owner of a few Mercedes, anytime you take it in for repair, you're looking at $1000 easily. As with any European (and especially German cars), no matter what, the parts are going to be outrageous - I have a buddy who is an Audi freak and he is constantly having to shell out money for repairs on those vehicles (just shelled out another $1k on his S4 a few weeks ago) - I'm trying to show him the light with Lexus... At any rate, with 44k miles you'll be safe for a few years, but once the odometer rolls 90k or so, look out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
