Picked up a new daily driver. An 03 S55 AMG with 10,000 miles.

My first AMG. Im pretty impressed.

 

Congratulations...thats a great car

 

how much? nice car!

 

CPO car. $58k

 

nice deal for a car with only 10k mi... enjoy it!

 

Pretty good deal mate,congrats.

 

nice car - the S is a fairly heavy car so how does it cope with the huge power - still fast, i own 2 55 cars but have never experienced the S class (although the SL is about 4400lbs, the S class is near or over 5000lbs.)

 

Its the fastest sedan Ive ever owned. It really opens up over 100. I dont notice any body roll or anythng you get from large sedans.

Im coming from a 996tt.. so its alot different, but I think it would give a stock 996tt a good run on the top end.

Its very well mannered even in sport and manual mode. But I have noticed that the trac control is pretty agressive on fast starts.

I thought about a few other AMG models. But Ive always loved the S class and I think its one of the sexiest cars MB has ever made ( the body lines)

 

Congrats Dave.

I was able to drive a few S55s, and really like the brute power and luxury. The swapping over to the S600/S65, the power is brought on in a more refined manner... so I'd go with the 55 as well. It has a lot of potential as well if you decide to do aftermarket mods.

 

Congradulations, Its a fine car and one of the best S-class designs interms of simplicty and stlye.

Enjoy it and drive safely.

 

great car! for 4 years old, 10`000k miles is nothing!

 

congrats on the nice ride!
