Honest, I am not trying to crash the market just to get a discounted E55....

I am in NYC and Yesterday I ordered E55 for February delivery and it was the best the dealer could do. He also mentioned that I could have one immediately for 5K over MSRP. I ordered black car and did not really want a black interior but it seems that E55 comes only with black/black or black/white leather the latter I saw on C43 and did not like. Do you guys know where can I find more information about ext/int color combinations available for E55? Thanks.

Go to mercedes web site. You should be able to build one there. By the way, the interior colors for a 2000 E55 are different now. The SILVER/Black combination is gone.

Did the dealer give you MSRP for the February order? If so , that's well worth the wait.

Regarding post #24: shawnx, I stopped by Herb Chambers BMW in Boston 2 days ago to ask this question and was told, "Spring if you order now". -rdo russell.ollieibm.net
#27 of 1038 chavis 10... for your post a while back... by kp11 Oct 20, 1999 (11:41 pm)
bottom line with cadillac is that its american... no way can an american car face up to the european and japanese cars... can u seriously say that the cadillac can face up to the ls400... i don't think so.... it can't even stand up to the gs400 anyway getting back to teh subject, i would eliminate the xjr just because its not as sporty and refined as the other two... the other 2 are very close... depends on what u want... the m5 is more aggressive and u have the fun of a stick shift, but if you want a car thats almost as good as the m5 but in my opinion a bit more comfortable, i'd opt for the e55... just my opinion...
#28 of 1038 theres another car in the market... by kp11 Oct 21, 1999 (1:36 am)
audi is coming out with its s8 which is supposedly a more aggressive and sportier a8... however does anyone know anything about htis car, as if it is as good as the m5 or the e55...
#29 of 1038 kp11 by jesseliu Oct 21, 1999 (5:14 pm)
The S8 goes against the S55 more. The car from Audi that fits in this grouping would be the S6 not the S8.
#30 of 1038 E55 in the Winter by scarconk Oct 22, 1999 (1:31 am)
How would the E55 perform in a New England winter? At a minimum I would think the performance tires would need to come off, but what would be the cost in terms of handling? Would I be better off just putting the car away for a few months each year?
