A Gentleman Never Tells, but this Car is a Beast

2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E55 AMG Rwd 4dr Sedan (5.4L 8cyl 5A)
17 of 17 people found this review helpful
I have owned a 2002 E55 for 6 years and I absolutely love it. Sure it's an older car in 2018, but the thing can move! The naturally aspirated 5.4L V8 roars to life when you turn the key and is reduced to a low rumble once the engine warms up. It holds a corner with ease and fires off the line like a rocket when asked. Steering is tight around town and the cabin is quiet when driving in the city or on the highway. I'm 6'3" and I am very comfortable in the front or back of the car, and there is plenty of room in the truck for luggage and golf clubs. This car is an incredible bargain on the market today even compared to newer cars. Yes, you will have maintenance expenses but I do not think you can find a better value on the market. This car is a perfect blend of class, performance, and style. I could not be happier, and If you want to enjoy your time in the car then you need to find one.

My first ever Mercedes. I am more than pleased with the car. I would caution buyers who are looking at buying a higher mileage car to take the car in for a transmission oil and filter change. Mercedes says it isn't needed, but mine did. Be sure to only use Mercedes-Benz transmission fluid. Older Mercedes cars are good cars for do-it-yourselfers who are willing to do the research to learn how to work on them. Internet makes this easy. Dealership service is expensive, but seldom needed. This is the best engineered car I've ever driven or owned. The fit and finish is perfect. I was astonished that such an aparently heavy car gets such good gas mileage (22 city / 29 hwy).

I bought this car in 1/03 with 8000 Miles 17 years ago for $38,000 the original MSRP was $53,000. Today I have 287,500 Miles on it and runs brand new I have maintained it since the day I bought it. The ride is exceptionally smooth and easy to drive no issues mechanically or electronically at all, the maintenance is the Oil Chang every 7000 Mile using Mobil 1 10/40 or 15/50 Full Synthetic with the Lucas Additive. I had 1 Transmission Fluid Change in 2010 and since then nothing and still runs perfect times like a clock. Mercedes says since it's a Sealed Transmission that it never has to be done for life now with the miles I have I'm going to ride it out this is the longest I've ever kept a car with this many miles and I'm totally impressed. It has 295HP @ 5700 RPM and picks up with a smooth power quickly and stops on a dime the ABS System is very good. AC is still Cold every 2 years I have a Recharge to keep it running cool, I've had the Rear Window Regulator repaired 1 and the Left Headlight Bulb goes out often but it's a easy replacement. I had the top speed to 152 MPH onetime to see how fast it can go and when slowed down to 65 MPH it felt like I was crawling. This is one of the best dependable cars I've ever had I detail it every week and looks like I just bought yesterday, E430 is an exceptional car and worth to keep for another 20 years. One thing is when you try to Appraise it or Book it out the value to a potential buyer would be about $1500 at best and that just doesn't make sense but those are the facts even though I paid $37,000 doesn't matter. However when I'm putting gas or im parked I'll have people come and complement the condition on how good it looks and shocked to know it 17 years old with 287,000 they cant believe it. I would even want to sell it and go through the BS Haggle knowing what this car is worth being so dependable and in great condition one day I'll just give it away and hope someone takes care of like I have.
