Hello all. I have a couple of 80s Porsches but am looking for something to daily drive for the next year or so and was contemplating the following:
1997 C43 AMG
1997 S600
2006 S55 AMG

They are all about $12-15k.
I have been trying to find some comparison in regards to reliability. Any input would be most helpful. Also kind of love the 80s Mercedes so any recommendations in that group would be welcome too.

Thanks and look forward to doing the club

welcome to mbworld...
all 3 are good choices, it all depends on your personal taste...
if you like 80s then i'd go with S600 and then straight pipe

Welcome! They all will require substantial budgets to keep them running, roughly in proportion to the number of engine cylinders. Please post a photo of the MB when it arrives.

So, purchased the C43 AMG. No pics as I dont have it yet, but was wondering if you all could point me in the right direction re:
1- a pdf of the parts catalog
2- a pdf of the workshop manual
3- where to get parts for the vacuum operated seats.

Thanks in advance
Brian
