I just bought my first AMG a 2002 W208 CLK55 w/ 31,000 mls on it. My research found the motors are very reliable. Transmission does have a few issues.

Being a Benz + being an AMG = higher repair costs when required.

Change the fluid and filter ASAP.That is the main cause for the MB tranny failures.You must make sure you do this at least every 15-20k.Use Amsoil ATF at that!
