Best performance with comfort car I’ve ever owned.

I’m the second owner. I love it, it’s powerful and performs perfectly. I have almost 60K on it, and it’s been modified by Brabus. I don't know about the Brabus improvements and what exactly it did to increase the value and/or performance of the car. I’ve also heard recently that this model was not a good one...

Sexiest car on the road for under 10k

Bought my 2002 almost a year ago and have fallen in love with everything about this machine. As soon as I purchased it, I had all fluids changed and plugs as car had 97k and didn’t have a lot of history on servicing. That was expensive but heard fluid maintenance on these was very important. Also changed main belt and both radiator hoses using genuine Mercedes parts which are not that expensive. Bottom line is this is a driving experience. Purchased the car super cheap and all in after 1 yr car owes me 11k. Try to find a better used car for 11k. Good luck.

The Best Deal for my Money. BLESSED by the VIEW.

This car is the George Clooney of all cars. Classic yet a head turner. Won't lose to any new model when it comes to speed.

Solid car you can be proud of

Rock solid engine when you do the spark plug and coil maintenance. Aluminum frame, Aluminum body parts, interior including dash leather and headliner parts, real wood, and solid switches and dials. Hydraulic suspension is supple and handles like one of the best, but must do the maintenance. Engine and transmission are snappy and fun to drive. Has rear seat and a v12!

The car so far is very reliable.

The vehicle is very comfortable and reliable. Very unexpectedly fast, and powerful. Also has a very sleek looking exterior. It?s truly the epitome of a luxury sports car.

Cheapest supercar to buy most expensive to maintai

Amazing car to drive even today! However expect 8 k a year average to keep it running. Navigation is horrible for as expensive this car is. Good news seicane has a perfect touch screen WiFi, back up and front camera update. For 500 bucks . Remember car cost over 120k and while you can get one for under 10k be prepared to pay 120k like repairs. Beast when running, but oil cooler leaks will set you back 8k, ABC tandem pump 4 k, oil sensing unit pulls oil thru thats 8k, abc shocks 1500 each plus installation. Water cooled alternator 1k with install, ignition coils 1500 each side.you get the picture. Oil Changes 200 but every 12k

NOTHING LIKE A GERMAN BUILT V12

This automobile is a dream to drive, especially at this price!!! They sold new for over 120,000K and with the V12 you can fill that "BUCKET LIST" car and always be able to say you've owned a V12 and it didn't cost you over a 100,000K.

Great car for the money

Great car with awesome interior and exterior styling turns heads and very reliable except for hydraulic suspension system which had to change 2 nitrogen ballasts as the gas membrane dry rots over 15 yrs and blew few lines. Once changed no problems. Also did Ac compressor after 15 yrs. other than that no problems
