Watch me restore the nasty headlight on this car.
I bought the least expensive, cheapest to fix and most reliable Mercedes-Benz AMG car ever built. Or at least I think I did. In this video, I show you my latest purchase and show you what can break on this car vs. what makes it so great. Comment whether you agree and what your idea of a reliable AMG car is. Also, to all you BMW and Audi guys, what is your least expensive, cheap to fix reliable performance model?
I’m super excited to announce a totally free way that anyone can support the channel!! I was approved for an Amazon Influencer account which allows YouTubers like myself, and other creators to earn a small commission from sales generated from people first clicking on my Amazon link, and then buying anything from Amazon. This doesn’t cost you a penny as Amazon compensates the creators for driving traffic and sales to the site. So even if you don’t buy the product or tool that I link in the video description box, you are still supporting the channel by shopping on Amazon after you clicked through any of my links. Each video will have either specific links to things I use or talk about in the video, or you will see my general LegitStreetCars Amazon link like this. https://www.amazon.com/shop/legitstreetcars
Next time you need car parts, tools, diapers, condoms, fidget spinners or anything on Amazon think of good ole Alex from LegitStreetCars.

What about the C32 many were made in South Africa.
I HAVE A TUNED C55 2005…IVE OWNED LITERALLY OVER 220 MERCEDES IN LAST 9 YEARS…I JUST CANT COME TO TERM ON SELLING THIS CAR.. ITS SOOOOO SUPER AGGRESSIVE…i wouldnt sell her for 20k
ALSO THIS IS MY 19th AMG..ITS NOT MY FAVORITE…BUT ITS DEFINITELY IN MY TOP 2/3….ITS A MEGA SLEEPER CAR
@legitstreetcars
What do you think of the C32 AMG? I’m currently looking at a 2004 one with 140,000 miles and a stage 2 tune. Would you recommend it?
i would say that w203 c30 cdi amg is reliable its a diesel
Hey brother I know this video 6 years old but do you still have those wheels ?
An injector hung open on my E55. Pumped raw fuel into the cylinder. Scored it. Ruined it. My E55.
Those are few and far in 2024
Don’t forget it’s alter ego- the CLK55!! It’s a very close second
It's more like 6 seconds 0-60
Reliable built proof 😅 in the same sentence as the Mercedes Benz and AMG but we will see
e55 211, all you could want
Hey Alex I was wondering if you could maybe give me some information on a car that I'm looking at possibly purchasing it's a 2006 Mercedes SL500 has AMG wheels on it and has a 50 V8 supercharged and it's an all-wheel drive car
I traded up from E430 to C55 for all the reasons in this video and more. Braking is traditional master cylinder and brake booster with no SBC. SBC was in W211 and above at the time and is a real problem. Also, door locks are electric rather than pneumatic so no PSE and vacuum lines to contend with. Downsides are the interior does not feel like a Mercedes. Plastic and switch gear are cheap compared to W210. However, my example's interior is rattle and squeak free. I also do not like shift buttons. I inadvertently hit them and get an unintended gear shift. This happens too often. Otherwise, car is near perfect and does what I want and more. Mine has just 67,000 miles. I look forward to many years and many miles of enjoyment.
I know this was 5y ago when the world wasn't ending, but getting a clean C55 AMG for $7000 will always be a ridiculous steal
these cars now cost $25,000, atleast where I live. 😂
legit street cars if u see this i’ll trade you my perfect running c240 and 4k for this exact c55!!!!
AUGHHHHHHHH I WANT ONE SO BAD i have a c240 had the same body pretty much i’m pretty sure the hood is a little bit shorter because of course the amg engine is bigger and more powerful so the wheel base is a little longer but other than that looks the same . i’m pretty sure it’s the v6 2.6 dohc na it’s pretty and very smooth and it is my first car but man i’d trade it and cash for one of these anyday
My E350 brakes, rotors, cost me around 1100…wtf
Does conductor plate replacement need a star diagnostic?
Want One? – I have one, a triple black 2005, in fact a VERY RARE RENNTECH one only $12,000😎
Do you stil plan doing videos on c55?
The price of this car is now way through the roof
After seeing this I have a renewed faith in humanity. Even though I was not meant be a good husband or father in any way it's good to know that somebody is around the pass on good genes. Nice job, made me tear up
how good is buying this car over the 100000km mark
What do you think about the 2000-2002 CLK55 AMG Coupes?? From a mechanical perspective it's one of the most simple AMG Cars Mercedes ever made besides the C43 AMG. I know the motor itself is bulletproof. I think the Mercedes V8 engines are some of the best and most realible ever made outside of the Toyota/Lexus V8's.
What are your thoughts on the E 53 AMG
I regret selling my 2006 C55 AMG til this day.
Keep sharing dude! I own an 05, c55 with 39k and love it, but may sell due to lack of use.
did you ever sort the exhaust sound out on the C55?
Just bought an 05 C55 after watching your channel ,totally meticulous & enthralling watch every video you do brilliant !
Hows the 2003 c32 amg?
I got the r171 SLK55, such an underrated car . Love that it was the f1 safety car
Love my c55 would never sell it
what is better and faster c32amg or clk55amg ?
Great video. I picked up a low mile C55 for $7500 bucks a few years ago. I got a Renntech tune, intake, and exhaust and it's awesome. Super comfortable, quick, and looks great. I think its no doubt the best ride you can pick up for under $10.
Would it be safe to also opine that a W210/S210 M113 E55 AMG unit that doesn't have rust issues can be similarly categorised as the C55 AMG? Great video, as always 👍
Very nice sedan.
How’s the reliability of the next generation of the C-class (2008-2011)
hahahahahaha
hi- just wanted you to know what an inspiration you are to me to DIY all my cars. Keep up the great work and you look like Nick S lol hes your cousin i bet
This car was around 390 hp
I am pretty sure the C30 is even more reliable and cheaper
Is it the same as the clk55? I'm thinking of buying one. Also I'm an Audi guy. I have a 2001 A6 4.2 v8 with a 6 speed swap. The 4.2 is belt driven and it has been dead nuts reliable. You also get the rs6 widebody without the reliability of an rs6
What about E55 amg ? How reliable ?
