C55 Questions...
...I sold my 05 C230 a short while ago and am looking for a replacement. I have been tempted to purchase one of the new C300/C350 however I figured I could save about $10k and get an 05+ C55 AMG. How reliable are the C55's? Is there anything to look for specifically as far as problem area's while I'm looking? Thanks!

Reliable, fun to drive, and still with factory warranty... How can you go wrong?

Right now is probably the best time to buy one

do it
you won't regret it.

It's like taking a drug that shuts off when you get out of the car.

Well, if I bought one it would be a C300 4Matic, P2, Multimedia Package, Pano Roof with AMG wheels. That'll set you back about $42k unless I take the EDP pricing and fly to Germany to pick it up then I can pick it up for $38k. If I ordered new I would get the options I wanted
