I am looking at purchases a c55 and wondering what miles to stick around. I have seen a couple around 60k but found a really good deal on one with 83k. is this to many? and are these cars reliable?

MIKESV8

extremely reliable. neither of those are high mileage, the motor is just starting to break in. we have quite a few members on here with over 100k miles and one (mike kuriger) with 150k+. good luck

i bought my girl at 83k, rock solid no issues other than PM's and the known things that start to go ie, rear main seal.valve cover gaskets and Motor mounts...

Viper98912

101k....

115k one of the most reliable engines.

I thought you were looking for a e55????
You took a beating for not searching and now your pulling the same stunt here??

MIKESV8

he posted something like this on the w211 amg threads?

moosejaw

Yes he started there and received a warm welcome!

machalex

I'm looking at both and trying to compare which would be a better car reliability wise. I like both but for the money if the c55 is more reliable I'd rather stick with that

emoving

Yes but he left the part out that he currently drives a girls car!

Now that is a pretty decent truck! What year engine? Had a 2005 but it always was in the shop.

Maintenance is the key!!!!

I think I remember seeing a C55 for sale on eBay a little while back with almost 200k on it.

I wouldn't say extremely reliable. But when things break, its usually not the motor.

mileage isn't too high as long as it was maintained properly/timely... and if u did pose the same question regarding high mileage e55's, you'll still have better luck and lower maintenance with the naturally aspirated c55.
