E55 or E430 4matic?
Hello,
This is my first post here.
I am in the market for 2000-2002 E430 4 matic or E55. I live in northeast in which it snows quite a lot during winter (planning to use snow tires for winter). The car is going to be mainly driven by my wife.
Which one would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

if the wife like some power, get the e55, or better yet, hubert's car.
don't know where you are located in the NE, but here on long island ny i use my e55 as my daily driver all year round. so far so good. i have some crappy kuhmo all seasons on now, but will use them for winter tires once i get a new set of rims.
then again, a 4matic e430 would make a great NE car

E55 vs. E430W4
Unless your wife likes to step heavily on the gas pedal, I wouldn't spend the extra money for the E55. In my humble opinion, an AMG is not the typical woman's car. Plus, I think the E430 4-matic, or an E320W4, would be preferable in your NE wintery conditions. Good choice on the post-facelift W210s by the way, I have one too.

If you are interested in this model send me a PM, I live in Philly so we're relatively close I'm sure.
