    I watch car reviews as a hobby and your knowledge, pacing, and personality made this more engaging than most of the other solo-reviewers out there! So hard to do on your own; will definitely be back for more.

    Over here in Germany those things were taxis, so the scrap yards are FULL to the brim with spare parts - You can get an original Bilstein strut for 250 bucks. In Germany this car is a no-brainer. I will get one in a year (when my current leasing contract ends).

      That’s how it is for Honda and GM in the US… and part of the reason why German stuff is generally more expensive to own here.

      I couldn't wait and got one in the summer. Unfortunately the previous owners were lazy with maintenance and I had to do a lot of stuff myself. In the end I paid € 1300 for repairs, but at Mercedes those repairs easily would reach 5000 bucks.

    First ever trip, in my first ever car to the place I used to practice driving with my mom for a photo shoot. Saw a blacked out E55 AMG parked next to a challenger. The fuck is that I thought, checked the plate, 2005 E55. Well now I need a V8 W211, I mean it was just obvious. That was two years ago, been seriously saving up now since the new year, and am tomorrow checking out a black 2003 E500 elegance. Damn stoked

      We had one as the family car from 116k to 275k miles. I budgeted an average $2k/year. Some years were easy, some cost $4k!
      But it was the best car to take around the US--several times!

    For folding the seats, the drivers seat is supposed to automatically push forward when you engage the tab to pull down the rear seat back. Maybe that’s something that the earlier cars didn’t have. Is this an 03-05?
