Back in a E55!


Well after selling my E55 (that I totally regret) a few years ago finally picked up another one last month. Did a few mods already but cant wait for more ​​​​​​.
Black one is my old one

Very nice, congratulations. What did you try and replace it with before you decided to go back? I can't imagine finding many other cars that drive like this.

Thoughts on the DB9? Always thought they are stunning DBS “like” for much less coin. Aston reliability and maintenance for the limited power always made me hesitant.

Just out of interest did you check out any other cars similar to the E55 before deciding to get another one? Biturbo's, BMW's etc?

E55 AMG
I love the db9, it drives amazing pretty much same power as the Dbs just has some appearance differences. It’s also a rare 6 speed manual with piano black interior which I love. Never had any issues with it although it only has 27k miles on it haha. Maintenance isn’t bad if you do it your self AM dealer will rape you in price.


And yes I was looking at the 2012 rwd e63 and the 2014 when went to the awd platform to be honest just didn’t give me that giddy feeling my e55 used to so I went back for another one
