    I have a pristine 2003 CL 55 AMG that was owned by a retired U.S. Navy Master Chief and having served with a number of those guys I know them to be very detail oriented men who do everything by the book. After speaking with the man I discovered he had every single service record going back to the day the war came off the boat from Germany. I drove the car and after looking the car over carefully and checking the records I bought the car. It is, without question, is the finest CL 55 AMG I have ever seen. I really appreciated that the car is a true "Silver Arrow". I love the car and really love driving it. It is very much a great autobahn cruiser that is superb on long road trips with my wife. My wife dtives a 2009 CLK 550, with an AMG appearance group and is no slouch either with nearly 400 horsepower. I have loved Mercedes Benz cars since my first car, a 1956 Mercedes Benz 190 4 door sedan Pontoon, that my Pop and I restored. They are all great cars.

    I love it when even petrolheads like Matt pause the "engine this exhaust that" and take a moment to appreciate an interior like that. IMO it's a big part of the driving experience, for a fact I'm still searching for how a late90s-early2000 Benz makes you feel, missing that in every other car I drive.

    • @FerpiliciousProducts
      @FerpiliciousProducts 8 лет назад +1

      If you live somewhere warm the early 2000's 230 SLK Kompressor (4 cyl supercharged) is a very fun car in a manual. Just throwing on a pulley nets you some extra horsepower too. Kind of like a heavier Miata with a much nicer interior and more dailyable ride.

    • @BobHGarage
      @BobHGarage 8 лет назад +1

      Interior quality is hugely lacking in most cars. I moved from an 06 merc cls55 AMG into a 2012 Cadillac V and what a huge disappointment it was in regards to the interior

    • @alexfiftyem
      @alexfiftyem 8 лет назад +1

      Robert Henderson
      German to american, it was to be expected to be honest. Although that happens with newer cars even inside the same brand. I had an E class from that era, with very similar interior. Good, not great compared to a `98 E class I had. They didn't care about weight back then, and I certainly much prefer a genuine metal inside door handle rather than the chrome finished plastic my '07 had, just to give you an example.

  • @Rick2010100
    @Rick2010100 7 лет назад +1

    A quality replacement damper for the air suspension costs ca. €500 on the spare part market. And the factory damper usually lasts more than 100k+ miles on standard quality roads. Dirt and sand can only damage the damper if the protection rubber hose is broken. In this case the seal from the damper becomes leaky as sand corns scratch the seal of the damper cylinder. I have never heard that all 4 damper are done at the same time. My rear left is now done with 115k miles and the others are above 75% as a damper test showed. Two years ago the engineer from the Vehicle inspection (TÜV) told me that the rubber protection is broken and the damper will pass away in the next time - the expert was right.

    The Factory suspension works perfectly- better than bags. If you maintain the suspension and stay on top of maintenance there is no need to replace it. I have a 2005 CL55 I have maintained that is working perfectly at 94K but I know I am not the norm.

Lately, I've been burning up the Internet looking at websites like Kelly Blue Book, Wikipedia, Carsforsale.com, wheelwell.com and RUclips to try to figure out what kind of car project I should take up next.

    I love these cars!! I've wanted to buy one so bad, but get scared off cause my pockets aren't deep enough for repairs and maintenance. I've heard quite a few stories from folks I knew. They're not expensive to buy used. But they can be a nightmare to maintain if you don't have the right connection to a repair shop. It can sit in shops for weeks waiting on parts.

    You guys forgot few things in terms of options. The fully optioned car also comes with adaptive headlights, adaptive cruise control that slows down on its own, push button start on the shifter which makes even cooler, also handles had a sensor to open without using a key, you can open windows doors and sunroof with a push of a key which also enables your cooled seats and recirculation, also the memory seats adjust your mirrors and steering wheel which isn't that unusual but if u ever noticed it saves your rear view mirror also and once you press your preset memory button it goes to saved position as well as seats external mirrors and steering wheel. Oh and one more thing I forgot you can lower and put back up your rear headrests as well which is very cool because all other cars only lower them.

    Looks like a great car to cruise around in doing whatever you gotta do while still being able to itch that bug for the accelerator when you get it. Straight clear roads are so inviting. They mightaswell call them the Sirens of the land.

    Amazing machine, amazing engine, idiotic suspension and wheels. I really don't get that scene of slamming and bagging and with huge rims...but hey whatever makes you happy. At least he can put it to normal when he wants, and yeah I guess it makes it really comfortable. Swap in a decent coilover kit and some blacked out vintage AMG wheels, and you are golden.

    • @BiggestSellout
      @BiggestSellout 8 лет назад +12

      If you actually watched the whole video before commenting you know that bagging it made it extremely comfortable.

    • @ReplicantBattyman
      @ReplicantBattyman 8 лет назад +1

      the only problem with that is sportier suspension wont necessarily improve a big, luxury car. with air ride you can choose between soft, comfortable city driving and then a slightly firmer performance driving setup. seems better suited for both the car in the video and what the driver wants from it.

    • @ChaosphereIX
      @ChaosphereIX 8 лет назад +7

      I guess my issue is not so much with the suspension, but the scene and the slammed "stanced" vid of it sitting there. How anyone thinks that looks good is beyond me. But you guys are totally right, this is the right suspension for the car, and he seems like a guy knows how best to set up his car. I came across as an ass, and sorry for that.

    • @ReplicantBattyman
      @ReplicantBattyman 8 лет назад

      ChaosphereIX no need to apologize man. without discussion youtube comments are boring. i see where you're coming from though about the whole stance thing. id rather see a scooby on a lift-kit any day rather thatn slammed 1 inch off the ground.

    • @chrissorreda4982
