Buying a C43 in the next few months
used M--best year?

Hi all

Winter here in Utah. I was originally going to buy a C43, but after driving this in my Subaru, I realize it would be difficult, to say the least with 312 HP+RWD As there's no way I'm not buying a Merc, I figure a used M or really old G is the way to go.

Anyways--what year is the best for a used M? Consumer Reports says that 03 is good. Any thoughts

Thanks

02-05 are pretty good, just make sure to service the trans.

1998 C280 Sport many mods, 1991 SL500 many mods, 1999 ML430 in progress, 1991 GTR (parted)
get the C43 and a 2002+ ML

Or if you can find an ML55, go for that!

I just picked up an ML430 to replace my C280 during winter, and in terms of "fun to drive" factor, the ML leaves me pretty dissatisfied. Perhaps with the right mods, it might get a bit better. Another option would be to go with an Audi S4 4.2. Fun to drive year round. Just my $0.02

Mercedes Benz S 550
go for mercedes benz m class SUV 2003 or 2004. the 2004 model would cost u around $ 11,546 and the 2003 model would cost around $9,546.
