- Why you should consider buying the 2001 CLK55 AMG W208. This W208 Mercedes Benz CLK55 AMG is 18 years old but has one of the greatest engines which it shares with the E55 AMG, G55 AMG and more. Here are my thoughts.

I bought my 2001 CLK 55 AMG last year. She's a beast!
After 7 years having a clk230k i wanna buy a 55amg to!! I like the w208 design much more than a w209!!
I bought a clk w208 with Amg body kit 320 and I might put a B 9 kit in it
By the way it was a supercharged clk my one
@@erikk9020 W208 looks like a classic. W209 looks like a C class
Moment of silence, for everybody that thinks, it’s a cheap car to take care of. Do you want you want you want and then you’re in the mechanic shop $3000 later and then $11,000 later
But yeah, she’s a beast
I am a big fan of these 208 chassis cars. Total elegant look, but a heavy bruiser! I had a CLK320 vert, would like to find an AMG specimen. One thing I found with that bulletproof 5 speed auto is that they shift much faster when left in auto mode vs you shifting in sport mode. And they seem to know the right gear, not constantly hunt. I remember when this game out and then the E46 M3 came soon after. The Bimmer might be the ballerina, but sounded tinny. The Benz was a Grand Tourer, but sounded phenomenal.
I’m lucky enough to say that the 01’ 55 was sitting in the driveway for 10 years being weather. Is finally being restored and brought back to it’s former glory and more.
The clk is the sexiest Mercedes coupe around! I love mine!!
Me 2 a future classic
Are you in a members club ?
Those AMG monoblocks on the F1 safety car are insane! Very elegant car I would love to buy one and convert it with a proper manual gearbox!
The f1 saftey car had the two piece bbs amg wheels from the sl600
I’ve got CLK 55 AMG 2003. Love the power, the handling, the seats. I think the 209 looks better as it has the pillar less hardtop. Windows down is like a convertible roof up. Engine hand built. Name of the builder on a plate.
The 209 has mini paddles but I find flicking the gear lever easier.
And sat nav which still works fine!
I have a 2002 clk55 convertible with 30k on her.....very rare! Its a beast and one of the best looking benzes of all time in my opinion. It will be going up soon in value big time i believe....only 1300 convertibles produced
I'm have 1 of the 1300 also Robert. Stunner with the top down! 30k is low af. Awesome!
I wish mine was a convertible I have th 2002 CLK55 and I love her best car I ever bought and only paid 4500 for it abs and bas light was on cleaned the sensors when I changed the brakes and plugs all that stuff u do when u buy a used car even if they said it was already done and no problem now other than my daughter blew out the back speakers while listening to music in the driveway while I was gone sucks but easy fix
@@marky6934 what's the mileage on yours?
@@ricardomaldini6508 about to hit 123,000 but I need to replace the damn cats and my springs then the damn driver window just decided it dont want to roll all the way up now I've tried reseting it but no luck so now im like damn it's about to get expensive real quick
Aged well w/ time. Sure do miss the days of the standing star on the coupes. They should bring that back. So unique.
I got one with the hood ornament and absolutely adore it. It's not an AMG, though.
Funny because we took the hood Star ⭐️ off our CLKs in the old days. We wanted the flat star more streamlined coupe style we thought. BenzWorld forums back in like 2004.
@@girl600podcast I like mine with the ornament because it's original and I'd like to keep it that way. Also it's nice seeing it as you drive along at night. Both stars look cool, imo.
I had the C55! Same engine, a little more power and amazing car!
I love your reviews! What a car that is!
Such a nice car with one of the best v8s ever
Great sound lots of power at low rpm lots of potential and indestructible
Your videos are great! You definitley deserve more subs!
Amazing car , nice review
That interior is beautiful
Wow bra I love the sound of the car its so amazing.
Nice vidéo and beautiful car ! 😍
Wanted one of these for years! Such an awesome piece of engineering.
I got one for sale if you interested same color black leather 2002 182k mileage still runs great and looks great everything original except the radio I had put in..dvd cd bluetooth aux voice recognition
@@manncoleman I just bought one with 155k miles. Is that too much for these V8s? It has been meticulously looked after by the previous owner.
Love these cars, absolutely underrated! Hope they stay that way, maybe I'll eventually get my hands on one!
I got one for sale 2002 same color as this one but with black interior 182k mileage looks and drives wonderful only thing I put a after market radio in dvd cd bluetooth aux
@@manncoleman sadly, i still can't afford one.
@@mistreku maybe this year?
"S" on the gearbox is not Sport mode!!
It's "S" for Standard.
"W" is Winter.
W is for Wet
W disengages 1st gear... that is all
Also, it uses a different reverse gear@@illfingaz210 but MB eventually did change S to Sport and W was changed to C for Comfort mode.
I have same one yours is actually looks like a designo edition. Very clean
I consider buying one of these every damn day to keep the W202 C43 company
I gotta get another one. Had mine for 10 years.
Good old classic beast! I love the big old V8's - nowadays its a these economic ones which are so synthetic
Wish you can come to the states in California to drive my car. I have a clk320 with amg sway bars, proper suspension, bigger brakes and all that jazz. Fast on the bends.
I have an E55 myself but I would definitely drive the CLK also, it might even be slightly faster. The video is great, loved the clips in the beginning. I was surprised about the launch though, it was spinning both wheels, is this car equipped with a Limited Slip Diff?
awesome car!really close performance than a vantage DB7,M5,M3,corvette C5(for the same year)
AMG FTW
I got a CLK430 Conv.
These cars go straight on Perfectly, But the M113 V8 Engine is way to havey on the front axle - it understeers very lightly
Does it have a LSD limited slip diff as standard with the AMG? or is it open diff like the non AMG
sexy car.
Love all my old cars.
Currently got a E46 m3
Dean Carley open diff, but it is very much an amg car
Dude looks like the singer Genuwine!
I Have 2000 clk 55 and the gear box feels abit laggy and sluggish. Things I could do to fix it
BFN Shrek..... Only thing I can think of is doing a automatic transmission fluid change, along with the filter and clean the magnet up. That may help it mate. What MPG do you get from your 55 on average?
my grandparents are giving me that for my first car 👀
Why not go and earn your own instead of having it given to you?
Whilst you may appreciate it, i am quite certain you will appreciate it a hell of a lot more if you save your own money and buy it.
@@CaseTheCorvetteMan he may have worked 3 summers deep for the car for all we know. Hopefully his grandparents have the right mindset. Think positive
@@cozyboy4ourtyse7en doubt it mate, but you can live in hope if you like, sounds like the words of a spoiled bratt to me.
If I can be honest, these CLK 55 AMG's can be found for cheaper than a brand new Civic so idk. Safety wise might be the concern, they might not be rich.@@CaseTheCorvetteMan
@@ftffighter yes i know they're very cheap now, at least in USA, not here they aren't.
Lol, I got one just yesterday)
No rear sun screen or folding mirrors?! But has air seats ? Also wrong exhaust... wrong chrome door plates? Should say amg
This is my moms daily driver🤣
I’d better buy the one I found for $2500 before it becomes expensive.
The possibly you'll just get absolute shite for that price
I saw one for 1500$ once with 100k miles and a shot interior. But I already own a 2001 CLK55 AMG...
@@InsulinDependentDeanjust picked up a 2001 430 coupe for $1750, it definitely needs tlc but the car itself (driving and engine) is in flawless condition all the money will be going to tlc..hopefully under $2k on that but still drives like a dream
Man brother dont put unleaded in it only premium unleaded gonna mess it up later on down the road i got a 2002 clk 55 it says right on the gas lid premium only and only put mobile one oil in it
They will run on normal unleaded
But it needs the full fat every other tank
@@JamesH55 That's not at all how higher octane fuel works...
@@kristoffer3000 it’s from a time when high octane wasn’t available by todays standards
@@kristoffer3000 your point ?
@@JamesH55 That you're just straight up wrong lol, either they need high octane fuel or not, there's no inbetween.
He really put the lowest octane in it. Disrespectful!
This car's owner manual calls for Premium unleaded. 91 or higher octane. Observe, or pay the price.
Did the owner approve of this ⛽️?
Maybe Premium gas in 1998 is normal gas 18 years later.
Even my w163 ml350 requires 91 octane
@@girl600podcast no way lol quality of fuel goes down over time to make more profit , however I've not done any research into it . the possibility of technology making it better and cheaper is possible
Must be something wrong with the brakes, my E55 and C43 both have great brakes, and theyre stock.
The clks are prone to brake judder
However good quality pads is what you need to make them stop I’ve just done mine 😊
@@JamesH55 i have never had brake judder in any of my 7 Mercs, the two AMGs have always stopped perfectly and never had judder either. I only use genuine brake parts and they have always been perfectly fine. almost 16 years combined between the E55 and C43 now, both have the same brakes as the CLK55.
@@CaseTheCorvetteMan
Genuine breaks make the difference
Being from the motor trade
And driving loads of later clks
Brake judder was an issue
I own a w208 55 amg
And I can say that the breaks are spot on as I have good discs. And pads
My benzi loves turns idk what your talking bout just not sharp ones
This guy doesn't know shit about that car it handles like a dream I have a 2002 clk 55 amg
3:10 he is not the owner lol he can’t open the trunk
put in diesel fuel for more torque
Great way to ruin a classic
You know that the 55 amd have 342 bhp and 400pht
Only thing that would put me off would be the rust.
That’s an easy fix
i think you are beating on it a bit mate
Can’t be many nice ones left now. Most w208’s have been eaten by rust.
Mines an example of a more rough one probably but it had/s low KMs and I was 16 when I bought it so i'm not upset. The car could have rust problems down the road but so far there's only 2 small patches at the bottoms of the front fenders for roughly an inch up but isn't visible from the side apart from some small bubbling starting. To me this is a electrical tape fix at the price of this car but I can see how if someone is intending on putting nicer wheels on and building it I can see why this would be an issue. This really isn't bad considering its totally fixable at this level and has only got this bad from living outdoors in Vancouver Canada for 18 years. Kinda shows the true quality of Mercedes Paint. It's a great car if you can find it cheap and have the money to run it. It's probably the second lightest older AMG that I can think of and has some true potential with modifications.
Pre-face lift models have rust problems, but they fixed it in the face lift editions, however the engines and gearbox of the older ones are better. The AMG model has the face lift coupe or it sure looks like it.
that shit is highly neglected
At 3:00 ... cringe
V8 sound is brilliant but V6 engine is the best, no problems at all..
Don't be stupid. A V8 is much better. I've had many M3s straight 6 but a V8 is much better.
Tesco Fuel???? You must be joking. You know nothing about these cars anyway. Almost a good video
