    Im not sure why people think the upkeep on them is high or expensive, nothing could be further from the truth!! Ive owned four and hardly spent a cent on them at all. The AMG i have will cost me abit more, but the 280SE, 380SL and C180 have cost me near nothing considering the work at least two of those did.

    The C55 prices did drop, but has jumped up again when there was none for sale for a few weeks.

    You can get some real bargain W210 E55s in good condition now though.

    they're at about ~$30k at the moment which isnt too bad. A c63 is down to $70k so im considering that too, but then you can get a clk63 black series for $120k... oh the choices

    211 E55's are as low as $17k in the States now. Depending on how well they hold up, I might be picking up one in the next couple years. Hard to imagine the interior being as great as my C43's. They both had more than 200k miles and interiors were like new. We shall see...

    AMG KC: you're saying the C43 is a bigger car than the w203? Like on the interior?
    94 C280, 250k miles, 1999-2011 (gone, never forgotten)
    CURRENT:
    744 Silver 99 C43 AMG, 260k miles, 2011-
    040 Black 98 C43 AMG, 190k miles, 2013-

    Nah not the W203, the C203, the two door C Class with the different rear on it. Im not a huge fan of the seat design in relation to the sise adjustments being almost impossible to reach.

    More so the power and handling, i though that C200K was alot quicker than it really is, and the handling is pretty ordinary too... I can see im going to have to put in another order to KMAC to get some better springs and shocks...

    When im saying its a big step up, its a big step up in terms of performance and quality, i certainly feel the 202 is a better built car.
