Yes I guess some people get lucky but I wasn't so lucky... so at least you should check out that e55 in person before buying... good luck!

Well that sucks and that's why I make sure that my cars have at least 50k miles before I buy them to be sure that all the kinks are worked out, lol.

My last W210, 97 E420, had 99k miles on her when I picked her up from my boss. I modded the crap out of her with Carlsson bodykit, wheels suspension, etc. and drove her to over 140k miles and was always **** about the maintenance (so was my boss). When I sold her, she was running better than ever and people thought that she only had a few thousand miles on here because of the way she ran. I don't know, maybe since Chrysler bought Benz they're quality is deteriorating to that of newer American cars. I hope not because I love MB's.

did they replace the noise with a bigger noise?
