Noticed that right away. Right after you say the model of the car, an omen of bad luck says, "meh, nothing to see here then" and leaves without crossing your path. 0:06 Can only possibly be a good omen. This car probably has cash or gold behind the door cards. Check it now. Rainex? One coat's great, five coats is awesome.

@@Noises I like your interpretation. I'm going to go with that. I'll keep my eye out for gold in the car ;)

Cool purchase can’t wait for the next update.

First thing I noticed as well 😨

Check out Legit Street Cars channel for cool mods you can do to your e55! also you can polish and put ceramic coating for wet look or wax it! My dream car, saving money for one of those and i hope to buy one next year! ///AMG power!

Amen 🙇

@@deairreoh what would you buy, then? Just curious.

@@rileys8741 a lexus , probably a sc430 with mods of course

@@deairreoh the Lexus has around half the horsepower from the factory than the Merc. The E55 is in another league as far as tech, performance and comfort (the seats alone with adaptive bolstering that inflate when you corner are ahead of their time). No offense I have respect for Toyota ( I mean Lexus), but it doesn't compare. If you have the chance you should drive one of these E55s, or E63s.

Your videos were instrumental in my choice. Also they're going to be very handy when I have to inevitably work on this thing :)

EatSleepDrive Glad to hear that!

Yeah welcome to failing air suspension and SBC brake failure :)

Cool to see you here Alex!

Alex, I was going to comment that it seems like he's been watching and following your channel. Of course, I do as well so I would say that we're all very knowledgable on the E55 because of you. Hahaha! Thanks bud!

Cheers man! Enjoy the journey!

same 💀

Maksymilian Keroz the country I live in there was only one listing for the car when I checked just now and it was 164.000rm which is like 30,000usd

So true

Write your government and ask them to bomb brown people all over the world for cheap oil , being Saudi Arabia's bitch helps too . Love from America 😉

@@mattpfarr5992 respect gained ahahahahah

Thank you!

Matt Wright totally agree on the scanner. My family is full of MBs (I have a W221, fam has W211 and W205 at the house) and the iCarsoft scanner has been a life saver. I was able to diagnose which air strut was leaking on my S550 and find out what was causing the check engine light on the E350. (Stuck open thermostat). The $150 you spend on the scanner is cheaper than one diagnostic session at the dealer.

Stop lying

Fire Blade890 😂😂😂

VJDM I plan on buying one soon, can I contact you for advice?

Fire Blade890 lol

Forreal can I message you? Lol

Haha, wonderful comment.

Aaron Freeman how much did you sell your c63 for? I’m in the market for one now

The new c63 4.0 will never beat the 6.2

You probably never had the headbolt issue because most 2011 models had the revised headbolts. Only really early 2011 models had the bad headbolts

Thank you!

Vencislav Krumov what do you drive now?

@@craystuff9390 If you should know, now it's a 2012 Passat Combi TDI, 4 Motion. Previously being a BMW hardcore fan, it was this Merc which changed my mind away from BMW, in such a way that moments before I buy 2012 E class Estate I flew to Germany and bought a 2012 Passat Combi TDI, 4 Motion, loaded with extras. ;)

C55 is more reliable, better at the track. How much miles does it have?

@@c32amgftw not as fast for sure tho

Of course not, they would never make the samge gen C Class faster than the E. But slap some long tubes on it with a tune and it will be very close to a stock W211 E55

I’ve owned an e55 and a c55 and I miss the c55 the most. That car begged for abuse and asked for more!!

Wow, these responses are surprising! I always thought the E55 was a step up in all regards. Mines got 100k miles, and besides a few wear items, still handles like a champ. Recently put some new Michelin PS's on and it handles super well.

I may put a smaller pulley on, however as you mentioned, I will probably run into heat issues then. My plan will be to do some cooling mods first, then maybe look into power adders.

I think I'll take that as a compliment.. 👍

OMG...that's hilarious but true, how did I not see that before.

@@EatSleepDrive Now it has to be a halloween costume, make sure you go some where that is giving away a good prize, you'll win hands down.

That is so true wtf ! 😂 Lincoln man !

I appreciate the dedication.

Coil packs or ABC problems? The CL600 is one of my favorite cars and they’re relentlessly fast. With a tune they’ll smoke a CL65.

Oh man. This could be a long reply. I bought the car with 100K miles on it. Not a garage queen but clean enough. Decent service history until the last two years. Mistake. The butcher who worked on it during that time was a real piece of work. I bought the car for $7800. Put at least another 8K+ in it and then I stopped counting. All the accumulators, flex disks, trans mount, both coils (Clark at V12icpack.com), VT (also Clark), trunk hinge, SAM, rear window regulators, turbo intercooler pump (PITA or dealer to refill fluid).... Thats the stuff I remember. Now it blew out two (of 23) hydraulic hoses so far. The fluid is $23-32 a quart and a tow truck. I'm debating selling the car. If someone gives me 10K it's gone. If not I'm going to change the rest of the rear ABC lines rearward. That requires lowering the rear subframe. PITA. Yes the car is relentlessly fast. Rides and handles like nothing I have ever driven. Thats why I keep pouring money into it.But man I'll have almost as much as buying a higher mile much newer drop top V8 M3 The car also looks stunning in person. Hard not to look at it all the time. It's all black. I recommend anyone considering this car to get the absolute most beautiful one you can find because a basket case will cost you more.@@BeesonsCars

Mike Williams I was debating on getting a 2008 CL600 a year or so ago. I saw a really nice all black one with the AMG exterior and Designo interior but I just couldn’t convince myself it would be reliable enough to spend like $30k on it. I ended up getting an 07 S550 but really do wish I had more power. I came from a 2010 Camaro SS 6 Speed and loved that harsh shove into the seat. But I was worried about the fact of using the CL as a daily. My current S is expensive enough to daily as it is. Eventually I will probably buy a nice C215 or C216 CL600 and pray to god it’s not gonna eat me alive. They’re one of my dream cars and they don’t make them like they used to. The V12 engine in them is a masterpiece (albeit with common coil pack problems.) I’m not a huge DIYer (I’ve done lots of small things, but I don’t have the tools or equipment to do everything) so it’s a harsh proposition. Luckily my family is really mechanically inclined and have all the tools to do most things. I have to change the front left torque Strut arm on my W221 because the ball joint has “disintegrated” inside it causing a vibration and squeak. Also need a new wheel bearing and probably a drivers side air strut. But it’s been one thing at a time getting it back to tip top shape.

Don't do it. Buy a 335 convertible and enjoy driving. Buy a CL and enjoy looking at it in the driveway. @@BeesonsCars

It's already broke, hoopty confirmed.

@@EatSleepDrive lol! Good luck with it man

Thanks, I'll need it :)

Tyler Hoovers ears perk up a bit!

@@EatSleepDrive No way! Can't wait for an update video

I'll give this a try. I like free mods.

Good questions. The Merc was quieter minus the slight drove of the exhaust. Merc was more comfortable at speed, but the coilovers aren't the best on really crappy roads. Thanks for the compliments!

I believe it is or somthing with the coolant return . 06 07 is the one to buy

@@boisantana7962 why the 06-07....??have they change those problems?i am thinking of buying one but i am concern of these problems

@@mateos3607 Look it up. Theres somthing wrong with the coolant return valve. It's really bad for 04 05 yrs

Trust me 06 so on w211s are better they fix the problems

@@mateos3607 If you are into imports or not check the lexus gs400 . Its cheaper and way more reliable. One of the best v8s Japan ever built bulletproof .

True!

Thank you!

I got an 08 e350 in May of last year, 42k, $10,900. I've had to do quite a bit of work on it for a $42k car, but all that being said, still going to stay below $3k on work in a year and a half, which isnt terrible considering 1k was tires and oil. Put 20k on it, I love it man. How has yours treated you?

goodoljr1 who’s randy ?

Glad you approve! I can't believe I've gone this long without owning a Merc. Looking forward to putting some miles on her.

The M113K engine is bulletproof. My family has had tons of old mercs through the years and they’re good cars, we’ve only had two BMWs and they were good too. My grandma currently has an E46 323Ci and it’s been a good car despite having 180k miles now. But the interior and exterior hasn’t held up as well as MBs of similar vintage. The plastics on the bimmer are brittle.

Tyler Beeson I agree on the m113K engine it’s one of Benz best , I owned a 14 E63s w212 awd, I had it for 2 years and was very disappointed in the build quality , I had 2 BMW 535s, a 17 330 sport wagon , and a 2015 M6 GC, I feel the beemers are built more solid , no creeks or noises ,the plastics on the W212 were very hard and plasticky and it made the car a rattle box , I was active on the MB forums and they all said the same

Antimatter the W212 is my least favorite modern Benz. My family has test driven a few of them and they all felt cheap. We had the opportunity to buy a 2016 E350 4Matic left over stock in January 2017 for like $20k under sticker and we still didn’t take it. Just didn’t feel like a “Benz.” I have a 2007 S550 which despite its age still feels super luxurious and drives great. Much nicer interior than the 212. My family just got a W205 C300 loaded out and it’s so much nicer inside than the W212 it’s insane. All the materials and features feel more like an S class than a C. The new E class has gotten that luxury and quality feel back. The F10 gen 5 series annihilates the W212.

Facts! I miss owning a Mercedes. My car was in perfect condition over 200k miles before my girlfriend convinced to buy a shitty family friendly car.

Care4Cats - Ibiza it wasn’t snowing.. he’s not going to ruin his wipers on dry glass

matt1315s Jokes on you, he does and will. :--D

I have an 05’ e500. Just hit 250k on it. Only major thing that’s happened is the air ride gave out. Replaced and it’s good to go! Old German cars can easily last over 350k miles if well kept and taken care of.

matt1315s do you not know how reliable this car is

A lot of E55 have been over 450k miles!

More reliable*

Than a*

Just letting you know how the English language works 👍

i agree! Stock Benz Diesel Engines can run for more than 700k, my fathers w124 has 700k, amg ones are also good but not in the same league og durability

AMG engines are durable, the thing is they get beat on....constant flooring and track days. Wouldnt buy one without a compression test...

That's quite funny when i see that comment from dude which account named as BMW M3 e46

Thats still a cheap car even with the cost of fixing, try finding car with that performance and premium made for that price in its category😂😂

Omnipotence why

Thank you!
