- This is an in depth review on the 2002 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG W210 chassis code. It is the Cheapest in the country, at least a dealership car anyway. This W210 E55 AMG has impressed me to no end and in this review, I will demonstrate why that is.

Well there you have it ladies and gents, cheapest dealer E55 AMG in the country. As of recently, my two most favorite cars I've driven is this car and the Miata. If you would like to know more about this vehicle, I have left Cary Imports information in the description box. Thank you so much for watching, take care!
EDIT: THIS CAR IS NOW SOLD
I just bought the cheapest one available now from a dealership (Schomp BMW in Highlands Ranch, CO), a 2001 in terrific condition with 136,000 miles. Only $6800 plus tax. It has almost no rust but it does have a leaky rear main seal, which I was aware of when I bought it, and it's work I can do. Your review describes exactly how I feel about the W210 AMG.
The w210 is like the perfect balance of everything.
The E55 with those quad headlights. This is a car you lust after.
You really can't beat an old Mercedes. Engineered to last, and only get better with age. The newer ones seem to be much high quality, hopefully they're returning to how they use to be.
Yea this was really the last of an era this is a great pick up. The new ones are lease cars and there’s just so many electronics now that they’re simply too unreliable and I’m sure all the luxury companies are doing this on purpose. More profit by making unreliable cars. That’s why Lexus become very popular despite it not being as sexy as the Germans
@@MeynMotorGroup I agree 100% The electrics are just too much in cars now.
Yea they keep shoving more and more because people want screens and fragrance dispensers. People don’t understand the upkeep of this and the cost to replace these components when they go bad. Even LED head lights are like $500-$2000 a piece on normal cars to high end cars.
@@MeynMotorGroup EXACTLY. It's just more stuff to break
391 ft torque? Holy shit! Its a fricking rocket! By the way, its one of Jay Leno's favorite cars. And he has a lot of cars!
Is there a video of him talking about it or where is this at?
Discovered this late. This and the c55 AMG (which is basically the same just less rust prone and slightly smaller) are the last well built and fairly long lasting, reliable mercedes cars
Cool review I love old AMG’s great review cool to see the older cars that were once out of reach for most
Thanks Rich I appreciate that! And yea when I was growing up, these were my favorite kind of cars, luxury performance cars I always knew that was the best Blend for a street car!
you did a pretty good job capturing the spirit of these cars. I currently own 2 of these modern classics
Thanks yea I really enjoyed this thing and massive congrats to you my friend these are awesome rides!
Uhhhh, do you wanna sell one of them ?
@@mikes.3184 yes its in massachusetts. where are you?
I'm in chicago, I keep searching nearly everyday lol I'm pretty sure I saw your ad in MA, I wish you were closer
@@mikes.3184 it was black on black. 105k miles. Its in storage rn in mass. I moved down to Florida 2 months ago. I have one here as my daily. Black on black 197k. I actually had 3 right before I moved. I sold my silver over 2 tone 207k miles , I have a video of it on my channel czcams.com/video/4go-dGyuwy8/video.html E55 AMG Silver Sexiness
Last true proper amg. Actually built by amg rather than on the same assembly line as everything else. Naturally aspirated and mechanical suspension. Doesn't have 15 auxiliary batteries or electronically controlled brakes with an expiration date. Styled as an individual car, to represent an individual manufacturer and not to look like every other bubble on the road. Rather than a back up camera, there's this crazy concept called visibility which allows you to use your God given eyes to see what's happening. A concept erased from modern cars....using HUMAN senses rather than computer ones.
Love it!!! But those fogged headlights are annoying me, they should polish those up... Also the hood gap is off side to side... But for $5k?! Hell yeah!
Yea those can’t be avoided at this age haha but like you said, for $5k that can be overlooked hahahah
I have a CLK55 with the same headlights and I put angel eye HID eBay headlights in and it looks much much better
Had one of these when I was working overseas, had a few minor electrical gremlins (comes with the territory of being an older German car I suppose), but that V8 is just glorious. Surprisingly competent on the track, though the brakes got a little cranky. Back when Benz still made those vault style doors, and I miss that NA beast.
I have the estate version in metallic violet and it gets more attention from the 20something petrol headz than any car I have driven.
The back brakes on old low mile cars get left for 10 years as the pads wear slower on the back.
This contributes to the onset of spongy brakes. Brakes overhaul and flush at high pressure (30PSI+) from the reservoir.
Finally found one in great condition! Black with chromo mono block wheels! The price is $10k buy I am willing to pay that fir this soon to be classic! I am very excited to get it!
I have a 01 E430 Sport with 231,000 miles and I absolutely love it. I never plan on getting rid of it. Someday I want to swap the M113K 5.4 supercharged AMG engine in it and it would be truly complete
The older the car, the better the quality. These new Mercedes Benz that are being placed on display to be sold are now not worth the hassle. They suck, they are nothing compared to an older Mercedes. I’m getting a 2000 Mercedes Benz E320, E-Class, and it’s dope.
Nice video..good review.
Thank you so much my friend!
My biggest issue with the car are the 2 spark plugs per cylinder. Great for power, and efficiency, but boy are they a PITA to replace. W210's are tanks. I might buy another.
I owned one of these. Not the AMG though. The regular 4Matic. This is the only car I ever regret getting rid of till today. If he does not mention it, there is an airbag inside each door , all 4. Plus the Bose Speakers, Amazing Car. Extremely roomy also.
i had w210 320 which had e55 amg kit it was a great car sold for 4000$ in country Georgia
prob one of the highest mileage examples ive seen of w210 amg with 209k miles. my 2001 has 207k miles
Yea it is and still feels so damn solid and everything works!
mine year 2000,with 62k miles.
Mine has 240,000 miles on it with a thousand more put on her every month still, she's a good old bus, just keeps on trucking.
@@popuptoaster roger that. I luv these cars
@@popuptoaster i just checked your channel. You have a wagon?
Damn I loved those!
Agreed Steven!
Always have a soft spot for the W210 had a earlier version an 97 E420 for years great car had plenty of power. I tried hunting for a 210 E55 Black for a while but ended up with buying a well cared W211 E550 it felt just as fast as the 210 E55 with better fuel mileage due to 7G Transmission.
Nice good choice yea I like these cars a lot
@@emanisantos8407 I bet you don't even own a AMG to see the difference like I said maintenance costs and insurance rates, the AMG puts you in a different classification.
@@emanisantos8407 and fact check 211 E550 382 HP, 391 lb torque if your talking about the 211 E55 then that's a different story.
Oh don’t worry about him bro he just trolling I’m just gonna block his ass
@@iheartgs400 I actually got 8.4L/100km which translate to around 28mpg from 210 E55😂, not bad tbh
So just out of genuine curiosity, how do you get dealerships to allow you to review their inventory? Or I guess a better question is, how do you approach them? Do you email, call, show up?? Are most dealerships open to people videoing their cars? I personally just want to do more with my passion for cars and either start doing car reviews/tours or maybe start some sort of blog, but not sure how to approach a dealership regarding this.
Always show up and speak to them in person. Calling and emails, they will just ignore you because it’s such a weird request and honestly, most dealers don’t like it.
Most are idiots and don’t understand this is just free promotion but to be fair there is the risk of you taking the car out and crashing it, the car is always safer sitting still lol
But you have insurance and stick to brands and dealers that don’t get a lot of love but still make great cars like Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, but I did get on Cadillac and Mercedes’ good side. Used car dealers are USUALLY down too. But I promise you will get a lot more no then yes but that’s ok keep grinding
This was my very first car that I owned.
That's an incredible first car my friend. How has it been to you?
Exhaust Sports Auto Its been amazing! I received the vehicle from a family friend at 109k and I've put about 8k since. At 114k I replaced the valve cover gasket and did some normal preventative maintenance. It's still going strong! I plan to keep the vehicle for as long as possible. To me, it's one of the most classic design of all AMG Mercedes.
That’s fantastic great to hear and yea I heard the Valve cover gasket is really one of the only main things you need to replace with these cars. It’s got a lot of life left in it enjoy it!
@@kevinfernando3167 thats awesome bro. take good care of it, super rare and value is going up. i have 2 of these cars. luv em
Best car ever👆💣💓
Ahaha it’s pretty good for sure
From the days when Benzes were great and Merc actually gave a shit about it's customers.......my how times have changed.
You’re so right haha time have changed CONSIDERABLY they did a whole 180 after this era smh but thanks for watching sir
Was it faster and funnier to drive than your LS460?
More fun
In Brazil, one like this costs 5 times, around 25k usd.....
Paid $4600 for mine from a dealership with 152,000 and she is clean. They wanted $7500....
Niceee yea it's an awesome ride
I would want to see what the underside looks like. These rust easily.
Yea I did hear about that, these things do have a water based paint which doesn't help
They rust if you don't take care of them mostly.
My favorite generation for the Benz. Sexy.
I agree looks great! Thanks so much for stopping by again my friend
Exhaust Sports Auto got post notifications on.
I appreciate that sir thank you!
is an s-class coupe in your list? I want to hear it from you !!!
Haha well I just did a review on the 2015 W222 S550 4 door and I am about to release another one soon comparing the S550 with the LS 460 Lexus. Would love to get access to a S class coupe but might be tough
Exhaust Sports Auto yeah ı watched your s550 video and after then i nearly watch all videos in your channel!!! keep it up!!!
Thanks so much my friend so humbled to hear that!
benz tryna be like lexus ls 400 🤣 🤣 🤣
Why did they bolt that license plat in to the trunk, instead of just putting it where it belongs?
Just faster I guess then taking of the other dealer plate haha
Lol....do brakes not normally work on a 17 year old car?
Haha did work for sure on this one I’m surprised at just how smooth this thing was I genuinely couldn’t believe it, like a Lexus honestly. Thanks again for stopping by my friend
The official car of drug dealers : but damn that silver w210 is sexy as hell
5000 grand. How much to fix the lamp malfunction? About 5 grand. Fart sound
the phone 📞 get it ls 400
In my opinion, only Bentley can rock this style of front fascia in the current day and age. One thing to appreciate the past for sure, but there’s nothing pretty about it but the price tag 😂 headlight haze definitely ain’t helping its case. If they can get that out maybe itll be a 3/10
Yea but this thing has been around since pyramids and done over 209k Miles, I think it’s held up great for the age and miles! But yea styling is definitely subjective haha
@@emanisantos8407 I'll definitely agree with you that I can't afford nor would I probably buy a Bentley anyway if I could afford it. Mercedes are cheap
You sound stupid
@@Theundisputedtruth you sound late
Maybe not the least expensive..I picked mine up for $800. Video on my page,
Damn haha that’s crazy was it from a dealership? I’ll have to check it out tomorrow morning
Considering your age (I’m MUCH older), do you feel auto styling has become exaggerated simply for the sake of it? I do.
Oh yea definitely car makers are going for this big grill design, flashy LED lights, screens tech for what? To show off. To satisfy the pathetic egos of people primarily in the luxury car segment however, “normal” people want that in their Kias and Toyotas now. People want to makes sure other people know they have the latest and greatest.
Honestly, I kinda sort of like some of the big flashy stuff for instance the LC500 Lexus to me is gorgeous and I’ve loved that spindle grill since 2013 when it came out. It’s like the automotive equivalent of a red tie makes a statement albeit a doushy one I admit. But style is very subjective, changes from person to person
Everything works and overall the car is immaculate, just that the window does not roll down, and the center console wood is worn out, and the boot does not open, and i don't know how a W210 key really should look nor how to start the car using automatic start-up. No offense, but study a little before doing a review :)) have the impression that you're a salesman but no idea who are you trying to sell it to.
Sorry you feel that way maybe you just don’t like the car and no I offense but I couldn’t give a rats ass sorry 🤷♂️
it's called a trunk it's like you have no idea who you're talking to
Cheapest? Don’t make me laugh 😂 There is nothing cheap as a used Mercedes Benz. An old Benz needs an owner to take care and spend the right money to keep it running for years.
You must hate hoovies garage and Tavarish 😂
@@MeynMotorGroup No, I agree.. while it's cheap to buy. maintenance for this AMG is something else. If you are a DIY then it's a perfect car.
@@MeynMotorGroup love Hoovies but Tavarish bores me to tears. Hoovie like me has a mechanic who fixes his cars. That’s why I said there isn’t a cheap AMG Mercedes Benz. I bought mine in 2010 and since I spent about $10,000 in repairs. Mine was mistreated by the previous owners so I ended up paying for all the repairs it needed. She has been a reliable car, never let me stranded but also it was a time when I thought about getting ready of her, however I kept her and let her drained my wallet. Today she is happy at the garage waiting for a another small repair. What can I do after all she is 21 years old. I enjoy taking her for a ride and people start noticing the classic Mercedes looks which is gone now. Unfortunately the new Mercedes Benz with exception of the S class look like Hondas or Toyotas. Gone is the classic look that used mark the difference of a Mercedes Benz.
