- Mercedes S55 AMG Is The Best Luxury Sedan Ever | Review | Reliability
What we have in here today it is in my opinion the best and the sexiest Mercedes S Class ever. Yes that is a crazy claim to make but hear me out, because this crazy machine it is packed with the most advanced technology that you can find even today in luxury vehicles. So what is it? Well it is the 2003 Mercedes Benz S55 AMG. You see the S Class carries a heavy name since it was used by dictators, ambassadors and country leaders throughout the history. It is the symbol of luxury, the symbol of money and power - and believe me this has enough power. Back in 2003 the S class had one big competitor and that was the most hated car in america, the BMW 750li which sadly couldn’t compete with the technology, power and beauty of the S class. It also had a price tag of 100,000 dollars, today 15 years later you pick up up just under 10. So for today’s video I will be showing you some cool stuff about the s class and then go for a spin to see how it drives, and will also speak to the owner about the history and reliability.
Special thanks to Alin for coming out and meeting me during these cold days.

If anyone is interested I created artwork of this exact model and if you are interested you can purchase it here: www.redbubble.com/people/samcarlegion/works/37094874-the-king-of-the-road-mercedes-benz-s55-amg?asc=u&body_color=royal_blue&p=t-shirt&rel=carousel&style=mens
I would agree with the Owner.. If you maintain the car and serviced regularly, won't give you any trouble... I'm a owner of a w220 s500... Amazing piece of machinery
I just bought one a few month back that I’m in love with unfortunately the previous owner didn’t do his due diligence so I’m making up for it but worth every penny lol
@@aye_j7970 I'm sure you will put that car back on track
@@aye_j7970 i just bought an S500 as well, on the same boat. plan on making her brand new like you!
@@Blu3ben718 yeah I just did all the maintenance, replacing plug wires and fuses and shit. Definitely gettin there. Already got coilovers for her so she a bit lower next is paint and shit then on to the interior lol
@@Blu3ben718 what year did you buy?
I just won a 05’ s55 amg w/ 64,000 miles last week from auction bidding
did you keep it? how was reliability? i may just buy a 2003 same miles as urs had 60k for 12k, u think good price?
@@chickentavaThey are great. Get one i have e55 and w220 S600 twin turbo and v8 kompressor two damn beasts
Rare to see new W220 reviews nowadays.
It needs more attention - its a beast.
People care about whats new
Dere e hapur. I don’t care about the people, sorry people
@@SamCarLegion Dont give it attention. Keep the prices low.
STILL RELEVANT IN 2021
I'm torn between this and a W220 s65, to me they're the best looking S class to date. The duality of luxury and power is mesmerizing with these machines!
This will go up in value in the future very rare to find and yes it’s a beast looking.
i think the s73 amg is the best in saloon and coupe form
ray croal maybe. Not a fan of the boxy style. But i do like the w210
@@SamCarLegion yeah w210 is gorgeous too i like the w208 amg also
ray croal i owned a w210 unreal
The 2018 model is so big, the previous one was so much boxy and the S55 looks like a limo
M3ForLife couldn’t agree more
I saw a W220 recently parking. I parked my V222 next to it and the W220 looked like an old C-class.
They say mercedes is like a disease which grows on u. And u can clearly see it in the owners eyes he jat can take his eyes off the speedo. He loves his s class so much
i had an s55 2001 and YES this car is pretty much very reliable and just need to be good taken care of
That thing is so sharp, I have an 07 s65 myself, I’d love to add one of those to my collection since it’s supercharged
I have a 2001 s55 amg clean and converted from the hydraulic suspension to coilovers 147k miles $4500 located in Southern Illinois
Still?
I’m about to buy one. Black on black with 93k miles.
Great review, I love the car too. But Id work on the audio, it makes it hard to focus on the video when the volume of your voice seems to peak and sound funky :)
Dashcam Vancouver & Lower Mainland it was a very cold day to be honest and a bit windy. But thank you for the comment :)
The Germans have been making cars way ahead of its time. Than Other mainstream cars that are barely catching up. Thats why you get so much car for the money! I love my E-klasse!
There’s one for sale like an hour away from me for $10,000 😭. I want it so bad. I’m gonna get it one day!
Bottled_Air same
I have one in Southern Illinois for sale clean for its age
Bottled_Air got one for sale in holland 13000 66000 on the clock... damnit
@@DavidRamirez-wv2bp how much I’m also in southern Illinois
@@MgDreco thee WORST most RAGGEDY vehicle I've ever owned and the air suspension is complete garbage. This is a money pit in every sense. Take it from me.
The M113K is one of the most dependable engines for the performance that you can buy. I love the E55 AMG specifically as it’s a touch lighter. S55 is probably better looking though. Just perform the routine maintenance and fix the leaks - any vehicle over time develops those but not a big deal. Such a legendary machine
I am not a fan of the blacking out on the exterior but the car is a beast. I wish I had the balls to take on a car like this maintenance wise.
I’m thinking of just trying it knowing that I may lose all the money and just have to scrap it lol
Amazing Review Sam 🇩🇪
King Anthony Gee thank you! Don’t forget to subscribe:)
That exaust was 🔥
Love the video Sam - easy to watch. You getting better and better :)
Happy with mine. Easy to work on plenty of room for a 6’3” guy, parts are cheaper than my wife’s Lexus and love the sound and power.
I have 2004 S55 AMG and 2003 CL55 AMG 😁
S55 isd awesome the M113k motor is beast. i drive a E55 AMG with LTH and a tune and its a complete monster.
I jus got the 04 s55 do you race any newer cars today?
@@bigbagyoo raced a 392 acatpack charger and killed it. Stock you will win but it's a tight race. Raced a modded s8 audi and it's close maybe audi by a fender. E55 good car and accepts modifications really well
Rare to find though- not many people bought them
In Europe there are enough for sale
Tom in Saudi too but we dont live there
im proud to say i have one
There’s some here for like 7k dollars it has 110k miles
Got a 2006 s55. Its a great car.
Hey sir thanks a bunch for this video I’m looking for a fast and options like crazy for a lower prices but all the + wonderful video 🤙
Anthony johnson thank you. The guy sold it 3-4 days after this video.
Does those options you mentioned come on that year and model?
Anthony johnson most of them yes.
Thanks Wow he sold it I’m following you and him I seen some other Mercedes Benz maybe that’s what he sold it for it’s red benz
Sick car! Just the wheels throw me off
Bimmer Man winter wheels
It’s gonna be hard to find one under 10k with low miles. Usually in that price range their close to 100k miles
Here before this video and channel blows up. Edit:Oh shit i live in ontario too , i would be jntrested in buying one can someone tell me how to contact him
Uber Aesthetics link in the description box car still available
Sam CarLegion thanks bro 🙏
Car is still for salw

MrCarMAN I believe it’s just grey?
Nardo grey wrap.
Such a beast
Good Information I have one thank you
I have one just like it
Hell yeah Toronto represent 🙌🙌
erikzappc dont forget to Subscribe:) and thank u for the comment
Love these cars
I see this 55 on instagram so much and on kijiji not long ago, tell the owner to not get rid of it!!!!
GarageNextDoor he may not sell it
Update: sold it
Sam CarLegion boohoo :( i hope it went to a good owner.
GarageNextDoor i think it was his friend.
I just got it!!
8 piston brakes on the front?
What did you do to the exhaust
I luv this mdl so much I bought 3 to restore!
Brent Waterbury amazing car for the money
@@SamCarLegion I got hooked about 1 1/2 yrs ago! They're eccentric cars basically and not 4 the timid...
Brent Waterbury some say the 7 series is the best..i say drive an S55 it will blow you away.
@@SamCarLegion Funny u bring up the 7 series as I had a long gab this morning with a car dealer friend about this mdl. He sez they're problematic and thus cheap. My experience with them is mechanically they're put together ass-backwards and nonsensically thus driving way up maintenance costs. I like the way they look however...
Brent Waterbury couldn’t agree more. My dad says: if no Merc logo, no good. As far as looks, I love the S Class. The 7 series was good up to 2002, rest looked bad
Actually you are wrong the car have 8 piston calipers are the front and 4 at the rear.
Exactly when he was giving the brake information I was like you are wrong sir 😂
He never explained how much it cost him to maintain this vehicle. Still an awesome vehicle though.
What's the real mpg of this car?
I wanted to watch this, but the audio was so badly clipped, I had to tun it off. Your levels were set to high.
Sorry for the inconvenience, it wasn't the gains, it was the 20$ microphone. I have since upgraded to a better mic.
Ahhh man dame it I use to really want one but now I am dying to get one
It’s the best :)
That v8
Edmond Yu sounds like heaven
W220 the best
Dope !!!!!!where i buy merchhh??
?? Merch?
@@SamCarLegion merchandise my apologies like t shirts!! Dope video!
@@danielgomez2741 we are working on it. I have a redbubble account and I will post it here. Thank you for the comment.
i believe car is for sale in toronto kijiji for 9k
Yes
the only problem with this car is the supercharger it gets very easy hot and then loses power
How is it cheap 0ver 10k for a 2003 ? Just because it’s 10k dollar don’t think it’s cheap . Everything cost you thousand in repair
10k for a car like that it’s freaking cheap. The options you get from that car are insane.
10k for damn near 500hp with a bulletproof engine and everything else that comes with an s class the only thing expensive on this car is the brakes and the air suspension
@@fuckouttahere742 this car doesn't have the air suspension
@@fuckouttahere742 I guess you've never owned it. lol smh. I wish I could show you my service records.
@@PhilSpeaks I haven’t I’ve got a w211 e63
Scotty Kilmer says Nooooooooooooooo.
They are so cheap these days - even regular s class
LiveOrLeave you get so much for your money
Ill buy it
If you are interested in the car message me on instagram @autoshopwiz
Please give this car i liked it
Actually bro it has 8 piston up front and yes 4 in the back.
I feel like you should have let the Owner drive
Good god those black rims look aweful. Completely spoils the car. The trend is not every car's friend. Looks like a car running on 4 spare tyres without proper rims.
mine has a burning smell now, needs to trans and engine mounts again for the 5th time, and the door is rusting. Beautiful car, but things a lemon
was it? what year? miles?
S55 still available?
Yes it is
@@wisamdee1911 😂😂
Why sell it if it's so great and been so reliable and has all the wonderful qualities mentioned??
He got a new model
one of thee worst cars on the planet. had one and will never ever get another mercedes even if they threw it on me free.
@@PhilSpeaks I’m bout to get one. Why do you say this?
*laughs in W140* 😂
Winter beater
Money pit
If you bring it to the dealer.
JDM fanboy
MiataDreamer- Jack if you maintain the vehicle and get it at lower miles wont be much of a money pit then
@@Mattayalew12 Exactly.
8 piston fronts actually
Oo man you missed so many things about the car i dont think you should be reviewing the car. I have the same car.
I hate this car. I had it for years and they are overpriced, extremely unreliable crap buckets.
@@PhilSpeaks what was unreliable about it ?
What did he miss thinking about getting one.
Audio quality for this video is pretty bad
i paid 300$ on da abc pump
definitely not from dealer! I had to have mine replaced three times because it's so faulty. wack car. steer clear.
@@PhilSpeaks i went to my mechanic. im pushing an 03 s600 they good cars bro just do some of the work yourself
New owner is Beardsnbrew on instagram seen it there
Jason Coco i saw him - great pick
Почему англичане ?
Salman Khan ?
Bad job on the blackout. Grill looks so bad.
you have an accent dude
Those wheels 🤢
ABC
Got two ads so I disliked...
You really hate your life
Def not luxury with these suspensions xD
is this garbage hydraulic suspension enough to make me not buy one of these?
This guy is Arab not Alien or Sam 😂
Horrible audio my friend
Abc pump abc pump abc pump abc pump
Ditch abc and put in coilovers!
ABC will last if the fluid and function is maintained, what do you expect it’s German🇩🇪
Wtf is a kilometer
Something smart people only understand
ahah this video is such ear rape
Get one yourself and see how cheap it is
Oh super cheap.. the ABC suspension costs hardly anything to maintain /sarcasm
Alex Torkelson compared to what you get?
@@johnnybegood2078 Don't get me wrong, it is 100% worth the maintenance cost for the amount of car you get.. but a good chunk of people buying a $10,000 car aren't going to be expecting or prepared to spend thousands on repairing the ABC suspension - most people don't realize the cost to maintain the ABC setup and it can very quickly add to thousands if certain items have been replaced or maintained. If the fluid is dark, you're going to at very least need all three accumulators replaced.
Alex Torkelson if you don’t know what you are getting then that’s your fault as a buyer. To me this seems like a good deal for the car you are getting.
