2005 CLK55 AMG

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this forum and I am in the process of buying my first AMG
Its a 2005 Mercedes CLK55 AMG coupe with 49000 miles.

Lot of people say never to buy an AMG without warranty. My question is for those of you who have a CLK55 without warranty whats it like as far as the reliability is concerned. Any feedback would be appreciated

This is one of the most reliable AMGs, just need to keep up with maintenance. Only problem i have had is a leaking power steering hose which could happen to any car.

Make sure it doesn't burn oil. My last 2005 CLK55 had engine issue... Sold it before need to change the engine. Most of people say it's bullet prove but you never know. Also check the Secondary Air pump.
