Lately ive been thinking about getting one a used one

what do u guys think about it ...

 

.....get it

 

Get it

 

It better still be under warranty, or you'll spend a lot of money on it...

MBs used to be really reliable until about the late 90s from what I understand, then they got pretty bad.

 

if you can afford one get it man
that car is so sick

 

get it......for me Car looks ridiculously hot!

 

im not much of a Benz guy (I prefer BMW)...but if you want one, go for it man! just make sure everything makes sense financially for you and then dont drop the hammer until you find the right one you really want.

good luck!

 

Out of all the AMG offerings, that's the one I'd get, but yeah, expect maintenance to be mucho expensive.

 

Doooo eeeettttttt!

Blown e55 > *

 

I say do it. The 2004 model (I think) has a great look.

I think they are da sex... I want one myself...

 

SEX

 

just get the car, every owner I've talked to absofuckinlutely loves theirs. Also saw one on the street tonight, sounded mean as hell.

 

DEF. get it. design is timeless

 

i was considering the AMG E...but the 63.

reason:

the supercharged V8 has soooo much problems...and they do not last long...

 

wrong. we did work on one a while back. pulley, tune, headers, cat delete. and the guy beats the DEATH out of it and it still runs strong, roughly 15-20k miles later, totaling around 80k

their #1 problem is the intercooler pump, they fail ALL THE TIME. when the pump fails it disconnects the s/c so your running a 5.5 NA motor, untill you turn it off and back on. just change out the bump for the upgraded one and your set.

we have done SO many e55's and none of them have issues(with the motor). some issues people had was with the self closing trunk and a few other stupid things.

plus you can get one now for around 35-40k CPO. AMG's loose their value SOOOO much. "the only thing that beats an AMG is its depreciation value" lol or something like that

 

the most recent one we did, 181mm pulley, headers, cat delete, beefier tune, k&n's, quaife LSD, air box modification. we added all the claimed whp additions and it came to 612whp, 634wtq

talk about a beast... i was scared shitless in it, no lie.

this isnt it, but its very similar

Fastest M6 in the country

this guy raced a 997 and SMOKED him

 

The sound of the Kleeman is




WANT ONE NOW....... 612 whp? Does that put about 700 at the crank? f-ing christ

 

fawk, that is fast. I wouldsay get one. i thought mb reliability had gone down the crapper, but mainly in their suv's.

 

get it in black

 

Like its been said, AMG service cost is a cut above regular MB service. But holy shit does that E55 sound amazing! I think I came. I've always been a fan of MB engines over BMW's engines, mainly because of the beastly V8s that they make. Amazing sound.... just a shame that none of the AMGs or V8s IIRC come with a proper clutch pedal-actuated manual.

 

55 > 63


Love E55

 

If they made an E55 with a manual, I'd be tempted..

 

Do it...

 

Bad ass car! My neighbor has one in black, lowered on some nice wheels. Fuckin love hearing that thing start up

 

Saw one of these this afternoon. Told my wife I'd give up the Bimmer for one.

Do it if you know a good mechanic.

 

youtubed this and almost came

You know what's more expensive to maintain than a brand-new Mercedes? A used one. Not sure which year of E55 you're looking at, but be prepared, as others have said, for very expensive repair bills. I you don't mind spending the coin, enjoy the benefits of this high-maintenance German.

 

sounds incredible... most peeps milk them around h-town... hardly heard any sports coupes/sedans makin a growl around here... only peeps who roar their cars are 'stang owners...

 

It's all German cars =P. I was talking to a guy with a 1990 Porsche 928, and he mentioned replacing some rear bearing. He told me the part was $200.00, and 4400 in labor. Yikes!

 

That's an understatement. I looked over old receipts from the previous owners of our E350. There were tons of parts replaced on the car before it came into our hands. Over $5000 worth of parts replaced due to wear and tear on a 2006 with very low miles. I can’t imagine the repair bills on an AMG.

And the scary part is that it is normal. Stay away from 2004 and back. Get at least the 2006 from what I have read online.

 

If this car isn't a financial stretch for you, buy it and enjoy it. However, as others have said, don't buy it unless you have money set aside for the very expensive maintenance that is inevitable on a car like the E55.

 

If you like the way the car drives but have any concern about upkeep, call several service places and ask about maintenance and "normal" breakdown item costs for the E55.

 

it is one sick car! get it and don't think twice about it.

 

i saw a white one this morning. slightly lowered. it was hottt

 

the E55 Amg is a hot car. if you can find one in your area that in good shape and hasn't been beat on get it.
if not a good second option a Audi RS4. if it was me RS4 vs E55 i think i'd go RS4 cause of a stick tranny and all wheel drive.

 

Know plenty of guys with them and they are AWESOME vehicles. One of the guys runs 11.6 in the 1/4 with his!

 

I had an older 2000 model for about 6 months. It was loaned to me to get around cause I needed a car.
Also got my 1st speeding ticket in it. 109 in a 70 Expensive fine, but no points pleading it down.
Nice car.

 

Though I've driven the E63, I've not tried the E55. If I could be assured of 17mpg+ possibilities, I'd consider a used one myself.

 

Do it! I've been eyeing these for a while. The prices on them have dropped with the launch of the E63 and now a totally redesigned E class... so there are some deals to be had. I would recommend trying to find one with an extended warranty so try to buy as new as you can afford. If not... at least set aside some money to purchase an extended warranty.

E55 with an extended warranty = satisfaction for years and years to come.

Do it!!
