C55 AMG Experience...

[Austin3000]

Hi,

I am looking at changing my car and the C55 AMG seems to fit the bill.

There seems to be a lack of these on the 2nd hand market and prices vary from £15k to £30k. I would be looking at an early one with ideally around 60k miles.

What sort of running costs should I expect?

Any know problems?

What are desirable options to have?

Any owners like to share their experiences?

Thanks

Wow, fantastic looking car mate...this had made me want one even more!

How long have you had it and have you had any issues?

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm used to the fuel consumption as I have an ST220 which does 25mpg on a long run and far less around town. I also only do about 6k a year.

What are service costs? Do people stick to main dealers or indy specialists?

The other car im considering is the M3 but I won't be taking the car to the edge of its limit so I think the comfier and more practical C55 has the edge.
