What Happened to the AMG Mercedes Market in 2023? 

Market will crash in 2 years anyway

I actually have a 05 E55 and man it is really a fun car I’m so glad that have now great car 😎

Pisses me off that somehow w210 e55s actually cost more in most cases than their w211 counterpart

I've got a W210 E55. Bought it 4 years ago and still love to drive it. It's a shame AMG is downsizing their engines. Makes the older models even more special.

I'm selling my w211 E55 😢

I am happy for you bro! It is one of the best modern cars ever made!

Wait until the intake manifold goes bad.

Agree, I like the facelift cls better but the first w218 rwd is the way to go.

@@vedocapp 100%

Exactly this. I don't care if it's faster or has better technology. A 4-cylinder turbo engine or an EV will always feel cheap to me.

thats why MB is bring back the V8 for C63 next year or so, So its a good idea to lease the current V4 C63, than buy the New C63 V8 when they come out. Lease and drive the V4 c63 for some fun and buy next gen C63 in couple of years, thats the best move.

@@abcxyz6606 mb is not bringing back v8 for c63.. its already confirmed.

no way they could do that now@@abcxyz6606

There seems to only be purple haired greta thunbergs running Mercedes to its grave at the moment.

That’s a legend, my only fear on the CLs is the ABC else I would likely have one now instead of an e450.

Im from Germany and i searching for one of those Legends, i also saw only one i all the years. I think for what the car is its still preaty affordable especial because they are on a downwards trend

I think the New C63 will have a tough time winning over customers, especially compared to how good the M3 G80 is.

Einer der schönsten meiner Meinung nach

Have you seen danish taxes on cars? I could only afford my CLS 63 SB from 2013 because it was tax expemt since it had no rear seats

@@Captain_Coleslaw well, to register a M113k e55 in Belgium, it would cost 10500€. Is it more than that?

@@miseryparty3726 not worth the risk. Especially if you look foreign ;)

Just get the e55, g55 lichte vracht/utilitaire... No tax. That's what I did in belgium

@@FuZzhardware ja maar defeats the purpose een beetje.

Which one is better?

@@ZimbabweMbira If we are talking engine wise, the V12 is on a different level! People say the 5 speed gearbox lets the V12 down but I personally think it suits this car very well and once you are over 60mph, there’s not many cars that will be able to keep up with you. Looks wise, out of the two S classes I have, I prefer my S63 because it’s a facelift model and Designo. It’s a beautiful colour combination whereas the S65 is silver with black leather so it’s not the most exciting colour combination.

@@Sam_AMG I have a V221 S600 facelift with the 5 speed transmission. It is amazing. But have never owned a V8 63. I used to have a W221 S350 pre facelift with the 7 speed; it was also great. Thanks for your response.

@@ZimbabweMbira The S600 is an amazing car! My first S class was an S600 and I was so impressed with that car, I went and bought two other S classes 😂. That shows how highly I thought of the S600.

E55

You mean SL65 black series?

Depends on your budget, but really think about running costs and general reliability. The more homework you do on the specific engine you’re lookin at etc the better you know what you’d get yourself into.

I do most of my engine work . Do u have a better choice in mind?

I think the 63 will do good because it's an "real AMG" and so it will sell higher

I had a CL63 with the 6.2L ... by all means if i could turn back the time i would get the 550 Biturbo and call it a day. The running cost was INSANE, like 5x higher than on a C63. The consumption was good 16L / 100km when driving normal. The sound was non existent compared to a C63 because the mufflers are a lot more quieter on a CL + its a lot better insulated, i could barely hear that V8 sound even with a Decat and Mufflers deleted. Compared to a stock C63 it was two times quieter with a muffler delete and backbox delete :D The Front brake rotors are 1500$ (without pads, theres also no replacement parts that isn't amg directly afaik, so that 1500$ is almost guaranteed), pads another like 400$. We are still talking just about the front not even the back. The Suspension will constantly fail except if you don't get all dampers rebuild or put new ones in, you repair one, another one fails. The tandem pump is also failing when not replaced. The Park Distance sensors fail constantly (200$ each, the car has 12) the AMP fails also pretty often on theese, which is another 1200$. The ABS/ESP system has also failed on me and god damn ... car was standing for 4 months because i would have to wait so long to get those parts because they were special amg parts, and it cost me 3000$.... So even just getting parts for a CL is 10x harder than for a C63. So yeah get a CL 550 with a AMG Package or put a CL63 Bodykit on it, you have the more modern car, the cheaper to run car and honestly 408 Biturbo HP are not that worse than 525 N/A hp. Especially after a remap.

I'm not an expert but I think that the W211's are going up in price when they are very clean examples. 2 weeks ago I saw an E55 very clean car under 100000 Kam's going for 60 thousand euros.

@@basilos Thanks a lot. I still have a pristine E55. I am not selling it. But it’s good to know.

507s were introduced in 2014 and 2015, 2012 only had the “regular” C63 and the Black Series

@@ExplorerMedia , ok. I said 2012, because that is when the c63 received a face lift and drastically enhanced interior styling, from that year on, I’d prefer, 507 or not. …but,…, I would like a 507.

They're appreciating - is it Left Hand Drive?

@@BuiltToRace_com yes !

I have the same one, also from JPN, LHD and I hope that this glorious engine will keep up the worth As a back-up I bought C63 (W204) also 🙂

@@scheberoff2992 You have excellent taste in cars.

E63 Wagon for sure.

I would luuuuuv 2 buy it from you 😊

sold it for 17500 :)@@LaszloLendl

The cls63 of that gen goes for almost half the c. Doesnt drive as nice or sound as good as

Dont Knock EV Cars till you try it. I've seen Chinese EV Cars and their Gorgeous Styling, Insane Performance and futuristic Tech is a Dream. Some people are afrid of change, just like going from reading hard paper text books to reading online, going digital, but once you see the benifits, then it'll be easy to ditch to old outdated tools. 100 yrs ago, some would say Horses are better than car, some are reluctant to change, feel Gas power roar is fun, but once people try EV, they'll prefer the moderness of it over old gas cars.

That's cool and all but what does it matter if you're stuck at a charging point for the next hour. Hybrid is the future, petrol for 99% and electric for nudging along in traffic@@abcxyz6606

Yup.. w219 is ICONIC. That was the originator for what you see on the road often even with new cars.

Why would you think that? Clearly, anything isworth what someone will pay. Ultimately, classic AMG Mercedes, have incredible investment opportunity? So arguably undervalued

@@bernardwarr4187 Collectors, usually will fork out a stupid amount of money for cars, art etc. Regardless if it is actually worth anything simply because they can. There is no valid reasoning behind it. Most of these cars with the exception of the GTR are just like any other MB - Euro car. Old scrap metal lol. Maybe I'm slightly biased since my Euro car "phase" has passed with me aging. I've long strayed away from owning any German - Euro vehicle.

as i have been a mb tech for 29 years now, I agree with you. many of these cars have bad engines and other problems. the m113k was the last great engine

@@narcissistinjurygiver2932 I find it very difficult to believe, any Mercedes Tec, even with one years experience would wright such a stupid comment?

@@bernardwarr4187 not a stupid comment.

Explain that

i think it means that the car isn't appreciating or depreciating
