My new E55 AMG! Here's what I paid & what's wrong with it. 

Hahaha I'm right there with you with my E350 too! I actually laughed out loud to this 😂

John Borso 😪

John Borso woooye...am sure it will grow dnt worry

no you gotta evolve it

Don't forget the sunlight

Billy Owusu People always think it's a lot newer

They always do. I have people thinking I dumped $60k on the thing.. then I tell them to check Craigslist as there's always at least one W211 E55 under $10k in the local market these days...

LegitStreetCars when things start going with that....and it will...parts are going to cost a fortune

TitaniumCountess Loved your "one take " on T.S.T. . 🖒🖒

actually he already replaced all the components that regularly fail on these cars, and he did it him self. The drivetrain itself is indestructible, only issues that may come up would be some random sensors, and there not too hard to source for cheaper than direct through mercedes.

Carlos Clivilles yuck. those are gross

Thanks, appreciate that. Alex

Ronnie Romero - Until it breaks then you’re broke 💰 🤣👎🏼

@@sfrealestatedealmaker6001 not even have you had one looks like you haven't cuz you dont know what your talking about everybody thinks oh mercedes lots of money to fix but it's no were near what people think I've had and E 3 cls and a clk

R B why you got cash for your profile picture if you trippin over maintenance cost. Acting rich, when you really just broke 😂

Mynameis - Yeah, very very broke. 😭👉🏼👌🏼😂

R B you seem like the type to flex 1K on snap or Instagram, ion fw people like you 😂

Anton Zuykov savage lol

he probably spend more time in his garage then u do in your room

Las M his garage is bigger than my house

He is Mercedes trained after all . This is a Mercedes standard. You can eat off the floor of the dealers service dept

:D

Taef Dewan definitely. The new slanted back doesn't work for me. That older generation looks fantastic.

Perspective mate perspective!

77ma nahhhhh, the classy muscular aggressive intimidating Mercedes design is GONE!

They all grow on you

Yeah it's so iconic.

I agree looks brand new , that car was before it’s time

ye most beautiful mercs were made around that time imo.now they try to look like lambo and i don`t like it

Carson Thanks so much Carson, see you next video

😂😂👏

It is unfair to compare a stoner video to a regular one...

Carson I also love the fact that this video isn't split into 25 videos each with #my 9000dollar amg and what I replace.

Don't be like that... there are 7 billion people and there is a market... it is entertaining in a way - you don't complain that there are 9 Star Wars movies, either instead just one, right ;) Also, he actually does show how he fixes shit as he goes along. It is videos like that which convinced me that I gonna get an old S class or a BMW 840 one day to tinker with, because I can see how I can do that myself...

I'm upgrading to an e55 in a few months, ISF was on my list but they're going for 35 grand+ used here. Those things hold value well

Dr. Doktor if you live under a rock

It looks classic,one of the best Benzs made.Yes, the new ones look more sleek,better lighting and more horsepower but this one is very reliable.

It looks dated

@@poorcomboz3577 Your mom looks dated.

yea with aftermarket wheels, a fresh detail, and tinted headlights

😂😂😂😂😂

Best youtube comment ever! Great sense of humor...and I feel you by the way!

LOL

I know what it's like...after watching it, I got an extra charge on my cable bill the next month.

Great comment

Thanks so much for the kind words, means a lot. See in you in the next video and thanks for the sub. Alex

Yes, and there is so much more sheer driving pleasure to be got from understanding and maintaining your own car

Where did you find yours?

autotrader

stroock6394 I raced 1 of these in my srt8 chrysler he started to catch up at 120 still want 1 though

This car has 469HP/516lb-ft, 0-60 in 4.2seconds, top speed the none-US version without speed-limiter is 200mph, 1/4 mile is 12.1 sec. With $13grand upgrade it goes up to 670HP/700lb-ft and 1/4 mile in 10s.

If yours is in good condition I'll swap my black 2003 with yours. 108,500 miles, new SBC unit and radiator and oil change.

Thanks so much. Really appreciate that. Alex

That's the thing. Fine cars usually have an easy life for 4-6 years. They are 4-6 years younger than other used cars. So buying used high end car can be an excellent move. This car is the price of A GOOD USED CIVIC. Nothing more. Not even a great Civic.

777jones my civic is a 2012 bought with 20k miles on it for 11k a part for my civic when it breaks will be much cheaper than a older luxury car my mom drives a 2015 Mercedes CLA he bumper had a small dent and scratches from a hit and run it cost 1,500 to fix and the CLA is a ENTRY LEVEL Mercedes. Mercedes is Mercedes no matter how old how new it costs money to run and treat well nothing under 93 octane should ever be put in those things

iusenumbchuks lmao I thought you were talking to me for a sec 😂

wait till you see my friends 94 c class . original paint and not one scratch

thats what I do with the E90, E92 series bmw's I love em and they are so fkn cheap.

A lot of the work hes done is easy and can be done in your garage with common hand tools

@@dev894 hey guys chrisfix here 😂

Mitch Farner damn you must have money to spare! The cheapest clk63 I've found is 60k

Mitch Farner

More power and still get better gas mileage lol

I think you might of spent that 20k on repairs though (laughs).

@@josiahthibodeaux in the dodge? Probably

Love them. I always walk backwards when I get out just to check them out one last time, haha. Alex

LegitStreetCars hey Alex my car jumps out off gear when I “gas” it and it will be fine if I pull over and put it in park then back into drive , I thinning I need a new transmission conductor plate & I wanted to ask you if I should replace my solenoids as well , please let me know what you think I need to buy the conductor plate ASAP and do it myself my engine check like is on

LegitStreetCars also Alex should I replace my solenoids in my 2004 e55 while I’m in there replacing the conductor plate as well ? And after the job is done do I need to get s computer reset in the TCU or is it just a plug and play type of part

I had a w211, a w164 and a w221. now im in a ford F150 but will have another mb soon :)

If your radio ever craps out I have an original one from my w211 with cassette player ill ship to you for free its just wasting space in my garage. was stupid because i had upgraded to a cd/nav comand head unit i bought from some dude in lithuania and it worked just fine but i left it in when I traded it.

Needs straight pipes 😂

Johan Cervantes Price , engine reliability mainly. Also a lot easier to make faster

I have a C55 same motor just N/A and a few different internals higher compression and no supercharger and plan to pull my m113 and drop in a m1113k (E55) Motor. I was quoted $8k full complete swap and they are providing the motor and anything else needed still being able to pass emissions. C55 is more reliable ( less E class crap that can break) C55 is 600lbs lighter but really will come out to 500lbs with added S/C E55 is 4000-42000lbs Each car will make 700HP and torque with simple mods as explained in this video. The transmission is exactly the same in both cars and is bulletproof. You could make 800+ (In a 4 door Mercedes with this motor for around 15k - stock HP 500 + $2500ish mods you're 700+ HP RELIABLE horsepower. Compare that to a C63 that weighs 4000lbs and has just over 500hp N/A motor, so no mods. C63's range from $25k-70 (and you pay tons of money if you get one with gremlins, that only the Dealer can fix for thousands. C55s range from ragged out 5-7k and nice well taken care of 9k to 11k. E55s range 15k-20k. HP per $1 spent either way, the C55 with it being 500lbs lighter , same power (w/ the swap) and has the same transmission, also better suspension. I can say cause I have driven a C32, 2 C55s one of which I currently own, and a family members E55 with some light mods. and screw the $10k kleemann supercharger and $3k headers, RIP OFFF for the C55 with 13k I could make 800+ with a modded and turned m113k swap probably less even. AND THE M113 PISTONS COMPRESSION IS NOT FOR BOOST, SO BYE BYE TO YOUR MERCEDES AND 10S OF THOUSANDS IN MODS. I was not overly impressed when I drove the E55 or overwhelmed like people make it out to be, stcok these two run a 13.1 and 12.8 1/4 mile jUST WANTED TO ADD SOME INPUT, The E55 in maintained condition even with 200k miles will drive like new and provide you with insane 500 hp. I can't understand why they are so cheap?

Cody G awesome man that's exactly what I needed to know, can't wait to buy one myself.

I iwsh I saw your post 3 months ago. skipped a clean c55 for sale since there isn't much info on them.

I have the Dynamic seats in my E500 Sport. They don’t seem to be working but the lights come on. I know the driver side worked for a minute when I bought the car. Any suggestions as to a fix or issue? Thanks so much

AMGmeister you two have the best E55 channels as far as information I subscribed to both, I'm an Aesthetics guy so when I get mine my channel will be about exterior mods mostly.

Ya its pretty nice especially considering its age

Yeah and a Roblox profile pic

RussianDaddy1 ikr like my private jet is way to slow compared to this. Man I wish I had a e class.

Can u hear it? It's gettin louder and louder..."why u always lying, why the f u lying?" Damn...

Joshua Meares White looks so good too. Thanks for watching

Love it but my dream car is 06 CL65 amg i want a monster of a car. E55 too slow for my taste ive driven both the CL65 and the E55 ihave to say the SL65 is the fastest. Half a block away from a light that turned yellow and punched it and passed the light as it was going red.

Mostly everything on this car can be done at home with basic tools, I think most people who buy this car are "car people" so they don't mind doing the work themselves or have friends that can help

Joshua Meares very true I've had a 04 cl55 Amg and currently have a 06 cls55 AMG easy cars to work parts aren't bad and a smaller supercharger pulley and ecu muffler delete wicked sound and super fast

Eddie Butler Badass car man. My dad sold his 06 CLS55 AMG 2 months ago. Such a classy ride, that doesn't look dated at all.

And to think some cars that cost 30k+ in 2018 keyless go is an optional extra. So stupid

@@wolfmannn2008 Yep. Try $60K on some Ford SUV. I went backwards in features and comfort compared to my Old BMW 5 series. Total crap!

Welcome to germany 🇩🇪

Darryl McKillop ford = shit. Old premium german cars such as mercedes and bmw have more features than these new shit cars.

@@ahmeddabdalla6218 "welcome to germany" theres no standard keyless entry on $200,000 porsche 911 turbo S

mazdarati2 Wait for the next mod video.I'll need everyone's help on what to do and what everyone wants to see

Thanks Charles I really appreciate that. Alex

Tell me about i live here in Florida and there is almost done here. I notice there are a lot in California

Phoenix, Arizona. The few ones near me are 150,000 miles plus asking 15-16k lol. I found one with 90 for 20. Snapped up quick. Crazy in 2021 he basically robbed the guy lol

Lee Dye Thanks Lee! Very cool you took on the rebuild yourself.Big fan of that. The WS6 is like my first child, love it. Thanks so much for the kind words

Thanks Guiseppe!! Alex

Robert Mintun It was replaced in 2015 about 10k miles ago

LegitStreetCars Wisely done! Enjoy that wonderful machine for all of us who can merely dream of having one for us! A gem of an engine, and awesome driving enjoyment!

I like the SBC ‘brake by wire’ system. I have a 2005 E350 (among the first built in Feb. 2005). It’s done only 109,000 km but is now 19 years old. Does the 2005 SBC time-out after a pre-defined number of brake pedal pushes?

@@Michael.Chapman​​⁠ It times out after a pre-determined number of time the pump cycles. Mercedes has extended the warranty again for those SBC hydraulic units.

@@roadwarrior144 thank you-appreciate that info! I think that here in Australia MB mightn’t provide any extended SBC warranty, and understand replacement is very expensive when that time comes-we also miss out on MB help with the balance shaft issue in the M272 V6.
