From the MB Forums these E55 AMG are showing to be reliable no weired electric issues or problems with the very unique suspension, alot of owners have racked up 60+K with only routine maintenance. CPO is a must.... definitely.

Awesome cars, I guess it's all up to you as far as being hosed on the loan. Personally I refuse to borrow on cars. I also DON'T drive a 2006 E55.  |
You should Matt...its incredible...borrowing on cars does suck it though! I agree.

Besides if you don't get it, you will one day be on a thread regarding what car you missed buying saying, "well I had an opportunity to get a nice AMG...."
