Looking for E55 .. ?! Thoughts on the Car ?
Hello,
I want to change my car, to a sport sedan AMG. I first was thinking of a W210 E55 2001, and there is many here available at low mileage( around 50,000miles or lower ) , but then I found that I could get a W211 E55, but its going to be a bit expensive, and high mileage. ( around 100,000miles or more ).
My car right now is an E320 W210 97. I do know that parts of W210 E55 comparing to my car is going to be a bit expensive, but as long as its 2001, its parts here are very cheap and can be found easily. But the W211, I have no clue about it. Is it a lot expensive to fix than the W210 E55's ? is it as reliable as the W210 E55's ? For a college student who can afford for W210's E55 maintenance, would it be possible to afford the W211 too ? or there is huge difference between the two cars ?
What makes me afraid from the W211, is it has high mileage, and how expensive it's maintenance ..

I traded off my 2006 E55 for a 2013 S550 about 4 months ago. The car had 67k on it and
was starting to have some problems. Brakes, a few nagging electrical problems and the last one that convinced me to trade it off was the compressor for the suspension.
I bought the E55 new in 2006. It really was a great car for over 5 years. Year 6, it was every other month with the repair issues.
