About the only Mercedes i like.
« on: 23 July 2013, 20:04:28 »
Saw one of these today on the road lovely looking and sounding beast.. This Series of E class not necessarily the E55 but it just looks that little bit more juicy...

I was hoping to get a S500 to replace the BMW, but at the price range ~£3k, they are all rotten.... A ten year old car!!!!  Why do Mercs do that?  :-\

But black wheels do seem to be the latest trend. It just looks like your wheel trims are missing to me though  ;) :y

Can't be doing with the styling of that era. Specifically the headlights. They're just wrong.

Is there a cross over point with Mercs after that point of manufacture? (Ie when the headlights changed, for example) where they came out of the cheap build quality idea, sorted the front geometry out and re styled it...?

Or is it not that simple?

In other words, I'm under the impression there's a certain range of model years its probably best NOT to buy. :-\

One of my customers has a CL55 AMG on a 03 plate  :-\
Pretty sure that was the changeover year for the headlights.

Talking about them falling apart, he has had both rear side panels replaced and a full re spray done under the 10 year anti corrosion warranty
