The billet mounts look great, I just can't get past the price being equivalent to 5 sets of stock mounts.
As for 2003, I had a 2003 CLK55 and had no problems related to the year. I did have other issues that could affect any year of manufacture but such is owning a car. If it is in good condition then go for it.
The bank account comment applies to specific people who buy these cars and can't afford the first round of repairs or maintenance they were thoroughly warned about. Doesn't apply to most people but E55's are fairly cheap now so it will be more common.

You have to be a troll. Or so damn dense. Weren't you going to sell your car because it was too expensive.
Or let me guess. Someone will call you on your **** and you will back off and say you were joking again.

Hello,
I have been looking for an E55 in AZ for quite a while. I have a lead on an 03 with 140K, but I have heard to be really careful of that year. Among other things, here is what has been done to the car:
-All air ride replaced with Arnotts
-New radiator
-New alternator
-All front suspension parts replaced
-SBC replaced
-Fuel system recall
Thanks in advance, Mike
