2002 SL55 AMG.....should i buy it or not?
1 owner car, 25k only.....but it is almost 8 years old already. and some people told me that if the ABC system broken it will cost a lot of $$ to fix "is it easy to break" and also gear box as well..anyone in here has the same problems with the car? should i buy it or not? why? again this car doesn't have warranty & cannot buy it too. thank you.

Actually 2002 was a valid model year in Europe.

i'm sorry.....but what do u mean by "oh so rare"??
and a friend of mine just told me that he has a friend who just spent about USD$15000 to fix the ABC system 2 weeks ago.....it's a lot of money!! still thinking that should i take it or not.....i have another choice which is 2007 E63 AMG, but it cost about 75% more and i'm driving the C63AMG right now therefore.....i like the look of E63 but it drives like my C63.....anyway, wait & see!!

If you can't afford to maintain the car, buy a Honda.
These are complicated and expensive cars. Just because they have depreciated, doesn't mean the cost of parts and service has done the same.
My SL55 has been extremely reliable, but it has also been extremely well maintained.

I must agree with Dino. The up keep for these vehicles is not for someone that is use to a $19.95 oil change. I hope that does not offend anyone but its the truth. I love my 55 but if it were not for the warranty the love would be hate.
Good luck.
