Ebay link $11,200

2005 E55 AMG

126K miles.

I drive 4-5K miles a yr and this would be a second car.

Anyone ever wanted one?

I would daily drive an E63s Wagon if I had the money to afford it.

I’ve had my eye on a 2011 550i with 6 speed tranny. Can get them for around 12k.

Turbo v8 with a stick. Yes please.

Might as well put more miles than that on it. Letting them set isn't ideal. Have a similar model and think I crossed 9k last year.

Figure 3-5k per year in upkeep so you will come out ahead.

frick no. Why? You could get an SL55 with less miles for a couple thousand more.
That E is WAAY overpriced.

Maintenance can be a bitch on AMG’s but that is true of any high performance German car. You should do it.

One time when I was 20yrs old a chick with a half shaved head who's dad is a cardiovascular surgeon picked me up in one and we went buy some coke.

Terrible blow, in many ways.

Ok stout

Just get a Camry. You can’t afford repairs on that thing and some Lebanese frick smoked hashish in it and never did routine maintenance

That engine has a nasty flaw with the oil system, tends to destroy the engine and there's no fix except pulling the engine to put in new parts if caught soon enough.

Cheap Mercedes are extremely expensive. Do you homework! Less than $20k will likely be a money pit. Check out Hoovies garage on his E55 wagon purchase.

- The cheapest and best value would be an R129 V8 if you don’t need 4 seats.
- Mercedes through from 00-06 were sketchy. I would avoid any _55 other than a G unless it’s very clean.
- check out Bruce_M auctions on BaT. He sells some well sorted Mercedes that sometimes are no reserve that people downright steal. BaT $25k ‘07 S65
-V12 require more maintenance. Make sure all the maintenance is already done.
-_65 brakes are crazy expensive. Make sure they are new(ish).

I’ve watched from afar and really want one.

I’ve been looking for the W124 500E from 90-95 but can’t find one affordable. It was subbed out to Porsche and only about 1500 made it to the US. They are running $60k now.

Cheap now but remember service is still at MSRP if something breaks. If you want a great car, save up some more and look for a 996 Porsche Turbo.

I recommend following LegitStreetCars on Youtube if you are interested in buying early to mid 2000s Benz or BMWs. He has an E55 and makes videos about all the maintenance he does on them. Will save you a ton of $$$ since he shows how you can fix various common issues.

It's a fun car but you're looking at a money pit and loss of about 3-4 grand.
