Buyinh advice C55 or E55?
Hi, I'm currently deciding wither to buy a 2004 C55 AMG with 140,000km on it or a 2004 E55 AMG with 220,000km on it. I live in a country where euro parts are expensive and I'm on a tight budget. I have a daily so I'm ok with it sitting in the driveway broken if I can't afford the repairs but I don't want something that is a nightmare. Should I really go for the N/A m113 or can I get away with the E55's m113k. Additionally I understand the E55 has somewhat bad handling but is it that big of a deal, can she still corner well? (I'm also a novice mechanic but I definitely am capable of regular maintenance and some complicated part replacement)

A normally aspirated M113 is still a beast. Right at 350 horsepower and 400 ft-lbs of torque are pretty impressive.
Having both a W210 E55 with the M113 and a W211 with the M113K, I take whichever fits my mood for the day. The W210 is quick, the W211 is quicker but not by much.
My recommendation? Go with the C55. Much less expensive to maintain.
