Hello all, quite new to the forums.
I own a 99' c230 highly modded.

i've just tested tonight a 99' e55, with 151 000km on the clock
i have to admit, what a beast !

he will let it go at 19 000$

i would like to know repair maintenance on that car , how reliable if i want to keep it for upcoming years ? since it has 151k km...
i know it's an amg..brake etc is more expensive but still, a small idea !
thanks for replies and help

99s are money pit.
Get a 2000 or newer

i don't know if they are a money pit or not, but
what i do know is it's very much worth it to get 2000+ model just for the better looking body kit/mirrors/interior.
gl though hope you find something nice

I would have to agree with the others. I love my 2000 (even though I really want a W211). And for that price and miles, I would dare say an 2000+ would be there for you.

good luck!

Too much money for that many miles. Plus I think it will cost you a lot to keep that running, maybe not right away, but certainly later. I agree with the other suggestions to buy a 2000+ (post-facelift) W210.

I like my 99. It has just over 60k miles, and I haven't had any major problems.

As for a 99 being a money pit compared to 2000-2003 W210's, well I do not see the logic, as they are mechanically the same car.

If you are a serious buyer, I have a Black 99' e55 for sale. It has had every service and on time with all mercedes dealers stamps. PM me if you are interested.

fairly reliable if properly maintained, but personally i'd try for 2000 yr+ for updated dash and exterior...the 1999's are not that much cheaper, but vastly inferior in those areas.

you haven't had it for long.

are you not enjoying it?

I think the price is too high.... sold mine more than a month ago for $21K (72K miles) but seeing you saying "km" instead of "miles", I'd suspect you're not from US (canada / europe? ). I know ROW's price is a bit higher than US.
