- In this video, I go over the AMG powered Mercedes models that are the best to buy right now in terms of value for money. These cars haven't recently shot up in value like some other AMG models. These cars range from the W204 C63, to the classic C43 AMG, and more.

Great video as always! I would also add the W210 E55 & W211 E55 as #6 and #7. The W210 has went up but not as hard as the W202 C43 IMO. Love the W202 C43 & W204 C63! 👍
After binging your videos for years I finally got a 2013 C63 sedan. It doesn't have all the options I wanted but I love it either way
I’ve owned my CLS55 for a year and have no complaints. Looks amazing, plenty of power, unusually comfortable. The SLR is the ultimate grail
Your car looks like a Ford taurus
@@ormand3000 I love Ford Tauruses they’re my favorite
@@ormand3000 I also own a CLS55 and I’ll take this as a compliment.
@@ormand3000 🤡
What year do u have
Was a bit startled by number four, but I never realized the price gap between the SLR and its competitors. As an extra fact, I remember how reviewers praised the SLR for its road manners and comfort, apart from the SBC brakes which some didn't like. It would mean you would prefer to drive your SLR more often because of that fact and the cheaper price, versus the competitors which would more likely be garage-kept investments.
Also, surprised at the C43. You'd think clean examples would go for a lot more than that. But I guess being overshadowed by the E36 M3 because of dynamics, and the "old man" styling of the W202 (which I personally prefer) kind of hurts its demand.
Great video!
ML55’s are also a great bargain these days and super easy to work on. I wish I could find myself a nice CLS55, they’re starting to creep up.
Your videos are so informative and well put together. Amazing quality photos and the music is just perfect.
Would also still add the W210 E55 on the list even though the prices have gone up slightly but some still sell them for $8K or so which is an amazing deal in my opinion. My first and only AMG thus far and I couldn't be happier (except if added an LSD and Kompressor :P)
Agreed. I searched and got one 3 years ago to serve as my daily driver and couldn’t be happier. Adequately powered at 390hp, comfortable and room for the family or crew, gas mileage around 22-25, even with my foot in it. I paid 16k for mine, but at the time I searched for the lowest mileage, 60k at time of purchase, and a rare color. If I had bought the car a few years earlier…I may have gotten it around $12k.
I have a w210 and 211.. love my 210
Even more so, the clk55. It seems to always be overlooked in favor of the e55. w208 and w209 clk55s can be had for less than 10k all day. My 2001 clk55 with no issues other than clear coat peel was $3200 and that was after prices went crazy
E55 W210 absolutely belongs here… 3 of the 5 cars mentioned here are M113 cars. The W210 had a NA M113 in a 4 door and that was the last of a dying breed…
@@actionfaction2558 what color?
Always great videos. Yesterday, i have made some research for C63 AMG . It is true that we can found wonderful cars for fair prices. Thank you so much for your help and all your knowledge .
SLK55 not on the list, it was actually faster than the SL55 in stock form and had 6 piston Brembos on the front... it was also the subject used to make the first Black Series car.
And with a tune and supercharger kit, it’s the most fun you’ll have out of a AMG without feeling like you’re at the peak of your enjoyment of the car.
The SLK55 is what I'm in the market for. It's a better value than the Mazda MX5 or it's European competitors.
Bro I've been following you for years and you are legend when it comes to anything Mercedes!!
I give you a “like and subscribe” because you did a great job with this informative video. But the truth is I can’t watch it again because you’ve presented me with options I can’t live without.
These videos are so high quality I love them
I would also add the C219 CLS63 AMG to the list since it is very rare and also sells for very reasonable prices. I picked mine up for less than the price of a new VW Polo in my country South Africa. The M156 might be a little more temperamental than the M113K in the 55 units, but with regular maintenance it should be as reliable as the other M156 cars mentioned on this list.
Agreed about the options...you forgot W220 S55..
S55 would be in the top 10.
Your videos always make me want to work harder
Very nice video, like always!
Your content is awesome!
great video as always
Excellent presentation of the AMG’s
Great video
Very interesting and informative 🇯🇲
great video thanks
Awesome video man!
great list
Loving Rom Di prisco in the background. Amazing cars, especially the C63!
I have a 2009 c63 p30 tuned. Had it for 12yrs. Only 60k miles. Still turns heads. That stock exhaust note!
Damn that CLS is one of my dream cars! Along with the 2000-era s65 or cl65
Yes I got a cls 55 amg..love that car,she is a beast,absolute comfort and reliability from that motor.
Great video as usual. Question, did the 7 speed transmission have it's bugs worked out by 2010? Was it as good as the earlier 5 speed? Thank you.
Best AMG channel!
The W220/215 55K twins might as well deserve a place. They are insanely fast even with the bulk and well echo back to the spirit of 6.3 and 6.9. Moreover they are still dirt cheap.
I love my 2014 C63 2 dr. Tons of fun. But, if I had the money i would love an SLR. My dad worked for a Mercedes dealer up until 1993. So I love the older one's like the 500 and 600 SL's and further back the SEL cars.
I own a C43 and it will be hard to sell it. It's the perfect middle ground of classic and modern MB. IR keys and keyless entry, the end of the Bruno Sacco styling influence, (mono wiper, tail lights with the streaks etc) still steering box, bullet proof engine and transmission, and you really see how AMG it is. It's fun to see the HWA part number on a lot of parts, even though it's technically a post merger.
They’re continuing to appreciate more and more. Also the easiest swap if u wanna put an NA 55 motor in. Just throw in the 722.6 tranny and the engine. Good to go
W202 c43 does not have keyless entry
@@vdgggame The term 'keyless entry' has evolved over the years. The original word for "a key fob with buttons so you don't have to use the traditional key to open the doors" was 'keyless entry'.
@@haas4262 Already one step ahead of you. I have a 11.0:1cr 5.4 M113 from an 06 C55 and 722.636 to go in.
@@curtislovrak5390 sick dude! Have fun cuz that things gonna be a beast!
I have a w204-507 Edition and I cannot recommend it enough, simply a blast to drive. One thing I think was forgotten was that the SL55 has a very expensive suspension system and if it's bad it could be expensive to replace.
just got my 2015 c63 507 and super happy, that last of NA V8 dinosaurs blood eating monsters
Proud 2013 SL63 owner here. I'd of course add my car to your list. If I were buying one of the cars from your list it'd be the C63 which I've driven a friend's and is all kinds of fun with that much power in a car about 1500 lbs lighter than mine.
The R230 is still one of the most beautiful designs of all time. SL65s are priced in the mid $40s as of right now but... V12 Bi-turbo... not very many produced... desirable car providing it has been maintained. Still, overall the SL55 is probably my favorite.
A CLS55 is my absolute dream car that I could see myself daily-ing. IMO it’s one of the most beautiful sedans ever made with a bulletproof and legendary drivetrain and an executive cabin. If I could get my hands on a mint, fully specced, IWC edition, that’d be the one for me to keep for all time.
To those who haven’t owned them and compared them to the E55, the E55 is better and iconic and all that bullshit, but the CLS55 is the real icon. First four door coupe, SL drivetrain, and a few more horses than the E55 on the dyno 😉
@@azizchemli2526 CLS 55 is good but not iconic like the 55 is, yeah it may be better in some aspects but without the e55 base the CLS55 wouldn’t be what it is today let alone exist
I got one , I won’t sell, I get compliments on it a lot, a very powerful car..that m113k motor is rated up to 750hp, tuning that supercharger
Only 2k CLS55 we’re shipped to the States.
The e55 looks dated compared to the CLS.
It’s all personal preference but I favor rarity, and sportier cars.
@@xvvs2575I own a cls 55 AMG and I beg to differ. There's a reason CLS 55 AMG are harder to find than a E55. There's even way less videos online. Let's not also forget that the CLS55 started the sedan/coupe trend that other manufacturers stole suck as BMW and Audi.
God the W219 CLS looks so good. Even today, absolutely beautiful design.
Been looking for a W204 C63 AMG for quite a while to add to my E39 M5. Being patient, but I know it will pay off. Glad to see it here on this list!
Plenty on auto trader...
SLR doesn't "seem" like a bargain because it isn't. The real bargain is a $6.5K W203 C55.
Love the list. Would love to see your take on S55 AMG w220 chassis with Kompressor engine
Just bought one. 1 owner 89k miles
Surprized not to see the W211 which was the fastest sedan in the world when it came out, and faster than the new corvettes of the time and now very affordable
Surprised you didn’t talk about w211 E55 or E63. I love w211. I watch your channel and AccentOnCars all the time.
Nice list, always liked the W202 AMG models, both the 36 and 43. List shoukd include the SLK32 and R171 SLK55.
Just got me a 2003 SL55, love it
I’d kill to own a CLS55, literally my favorite car, I’m absolutely in LOVE with them, beautiful and underrated. But they are never seen for sale around where I live and when they are, it’s gone in a week haha. Love them but I think I’m stuck with a C63 for my next car
Just bought one last week with 55,000 miles in 10/10 condition for 24k.
@@diablocls55 won’t find anymore with that low miles, I’ve found a S55 with 65k miles for 11k, might buy it just to own it
@@Spaced_trip21 I’d buy it. I considered a 90k mile S55 for about that price but ABC scared me away
I have a white CLS55 with Tan leather.. Got it 2yrs ago. Beautiful car! Still turns heads and ppl come up and ask me questions about the car when i drive it. It was tuned when i bought it. Also a smaller pully put on it. I cranks out close to 600Hp, its a BEAST! 💪🏼
I know the Is a bias towards the E55 but only 2k ClS55 were sent to America making it one of the rarest AMGs.
I grabbed my CLS 55 amg 2 yrs ago and absolutely love the car minus the headlights.
I found mine for 3,500 but took another 3500 to sort out.
hola 👋como siempre haceis buenos videos entretenidos y muy informativos,por favor seguid asi 👌un saludo desde España 👏👏👏
I could never have afforded one new but I bought a black 2005 E55 just like the one in this video 2 years ago and it has gone up slightly in value from what I paid for it. I have done a few mods such as a 77mm pulley and RaceIQ tune and I replaced the AirMatic with adjustable coil overs when one of the front struts blew last year. It was rust free, had excellent service history and the 2 previous owners only drove it 6500 miles a year (only 98k miles when I bought it). It had a minor fender bender in its history and it has some less than perfect paint work in a few places that I have polished and corrected to my satisfaction (looks good from 10 feet away) so it’s not a super-pristine example that I’m committing a sacrilege changing but I have kept to mostly performance or upgrade mods and kept the exterior completely stock minus a set of black headlights and dark tinted windows. I spent around $2k the first year doing maintenance (fluids, tires, trans service and conductor plate, etc.) and replacing worn suspension parts and the coil overs were $1500 this year but I have driven this car over 1000 miles in a weekend at 90+mph with no drama or surprises and I am still amazed at how good this car is after all these years.
Thanks!!!
Just bought a C43 and it’s super fun
Yes!!! #1 baby. SL55 AMG is an absolute weapon. VRP Pulley and cooling with a tune from Eurocharged and I’m doing 200mph and dominating mustangs and corvettes without issue. The ABC suspension is awesome but yes it can be a little costly if something goes wrong. But this level of performance comes with a $200k price tag new so it’s all about perspective. A hardtop convertible is also more secure than the fabric ones on the new model. Just do good maintenance and you’re in business.
$200k?? You wouldn’t need to spend anywhere near that much to keep up with your tuned sl55. An M5 Competition or E63S are less than $120k. A 992 GTS is $149k, a Turbo is $175k, and the new Corvette Z06 will be around $100k. I don’t think you’re dominating any GT500s or ZL-1s either lol. Those are $65-75k. Finally, where are you driving 200 mph in the US?
SL55 is very powerful yes and you can even get it so around 550-580HP with a tune (but please dont forget to cool it properly). But the SL still weighs at around appr. 2.100kg and a corvette, even the c6 6.2 coupe weighs at around 1.500kg with 436hp factory. If you tune it, you can get easily 480hp out of it. Now i cant imagine that the sl will be quicker with the older transmission and that more weight. I owned a cl55 supercharger (crazy fast) and i own a c6 6.2 coupe from 2009, so i think i can compare them. The vette is stronger stock. But the mercedes is miles ahead when it comes to interior and build quality, no question. But then again, the c6 is easier to maintain and more efficient
@@gregs8685 I'm pretty sure he meant the SL55 went for around $200k when it was new, meaning maintenance is always going to be expensive no matter how old it is.
I love my 09 C63 AMG…I’ve done a few mods under the hood and exhaust system (long tube header upgrade) and I’m pushing just over 600hp…..this car is so fun to drive….I have an 08 c300 as my daily beater..but I’ll never sell my c63.
Got my 2011 C63 AMG for 18k last year. Added ethanol, injectors, long tube headers, cat delete, Eurocharged tune, and LSD. In the shop getting a new transmission now. At 497 RWHP I am absolutely in love! SC coming soon! For value, I'd swap this for #1!
That thing must be a beast. I had a 2012 with dev pack/LSD and it was already disgusting, I can't imagine more power haha.
how'd you get it for so low ? what was the mileage ? was there anything wrong with it ?
@@user-kg7zr3yl3n
78k, and it's cherry... Even had updated head bolts and lifters already done! That's just what they go for. Helluva car for the price. No one expects the 4 door Benz... then you stomp on it and there's really no other greater sound from a V8 imho!
I like and own a CLS 63 AMG. Other then the occasional electric gremlins, it’s a great car. And mine does have the performance package. I’m surprised that didn’t make your list.
CLS 55 is just the better option between the two, although the 63 sounds great
Saving up for one this summer. How does feel compared to a non performance package cls?
I really like the CLS55, very sleek styled body with that torque monster s/c v8.
Saving up for a w219 cls63amg this summer. I want one in black
The fact that Steve Job's drove an SL55 during iPhone development was a huge influence on me respecting the R230. I suspect the virtuoso engineering had some inspiration and influence on him too. Could Jobs be the reason for the Apple 30 pin connector found in the facelift [2008-2012] years? The fact that he drove it more than any other car says a lot that he can't say today.
And he would swap for a new identical sl55 every 6 months to avoid having to put plates on it
I would most humbly add the 2001-2003 W208 CLK55 AMG. Not many electric devices to go wrong. Tech is kept simple but gets the horsepower job done. It’s truly in every sense a German Pony car.
AMG took the CLK 430, squared off the engine’s bottom end to make 5.4 liters of displacement. The brakes are insane! AMG shoved in the SL 600’s driveshaft, 5 speed auto transmission, and rear end.
I’ve had my 2001 for 15 years and it still goes like greased lighting. I keep my foot out of it given the car is up in age. Haven’t had any problems with it other than normal maintenance.
I totally agree. I have a 2002 cab amg clk 55 for two years. It is the best car i have ever owned. No problems and the accelaration is great no matter what speed.
I have a 2021 GLA 35! It's a baby engine AMG but it comes with all the fun of an AMG! It's the perfect amount of power and get up and go! I don't feel like I have more horsepower than I can use like other AMGS i test drove
Wassup ma man need some advice should I buy CLS 2017 S amg 4matic or stick with 2014 E 63 S amg please let me know thanks a lot I’m one of your subscriber God bless you !
@AMGmeister Can you make a video on pairing your phone to the e55 for music?
I do love my SL55, I have a CL55 as well that im selling here in the uk
Good picks for value AMGs. I’m still pissed I sold my 2011 C63 with the P30
I recently was at an oldtimer auction, there was a c43 (first car in the vid) that drove and ran fine, it had some rust, but went for 4k (around 200k miles)… maybe I shouldve gone for it.
I was wondering if the SL55 was going to get some love. Bought mine last year for 21k
what about the c32 amg ? love the sound of that kompressor
A little surprised the C55 didn't make it on this list! Not as much power without the supercharger, but compare track lap times! It's a great, fun, athletic car that still sells for relatively cheap. I drive mine every day and love it.
agreed
Because most people SUCK! Rock on 🤘 C55 humble brothaaaas
Is it feasible to add the supercharger back? Or is there too many changes over the E55 motor?
@@butcheredalive no don't bother trying. Doesn't work that way, it's more practical to swap in the whole motor.
Beautiful as always Maestro Mercedes Brother. You forgot E55? 🙂
I think E55s are popular, well known cars. I've already covered them a lot on this channel. They are still a great value too.
@@AMGmeister Absolutely 😂. I am just being biased. My favorite car EVER!.
I would have added the CLK 63 AMG W209. An amazing car with an amazing look and a superb engine!
as usual it was pleasure to hear your story, and only one thing from my side ;) I'm still with M113K and I'm love it on `CLS55
The CLK55 is a better looking coupe than any mentioned. M113 engine in a beautiful short wheelbase platform.
After some long stints of thinking and calculating which AMG I can afford from my time period 90's mid 2000's, using a maintenance checklist of about 2,000 $USD a year, with a downpayment of around5K$ at dealership, 697 credit score, the SLR is my choice.
I bought a 2006 CLS55 AMG in Dec 2019 for $13k. It had 89,000 miles. I felt like I bought it at the bottom of the market but time will tell. It's at the age where I've had to give it some major services but it's worth it to keep it on the road. It definitely gets some attention.
I got mine in October 2021 for $15,500 at 84,000 miles. About $6k in DIY service/mods over the 6 months and aside from small little bits and pieces it is mechanically perfect and ready for a lot more horsepower!
Definitely a bargain, even if you’ve put more money into it. There’s really not a lot else you can get for under 30k that is as fast, as luxurious, as good looking and as comfortable as these CLS/E55’s are.
@@insayn7995 yes, mine could use about $6k in work and upgrades as it is close to 100,000 miles. After that, it should be good for quite a while.
Yep got mine in Sept 2020 for $12,000 It had some miles 118K miles.. A lot of maintenance was done. Already tuned. Close to 600Hp Pully swap, White on tan leather. Gorgeous car. I love it! I need to drive her more..
E55 or CLS55 for me either way. Someone a few years ago had a Weistec built E55 with under 30k miles with 600hp at the wheels for under $30k.
Bro please make a vid on the CL65 AMG (w215)
Would like to get the C63 AMG looks slick and powerful
2007-2009 CLK550 and 2003-2005 CLK 55 are amazing for the $
Make everything you need to know or buyers guide video about w218 cls63 amg
Duuuuude. Those CLS55 prices are sick. I didn’t even realize they were that cheap with decent miles. Makes me think that I could probably find a good CLS500 for an okay price, even in this market. I want a W211 but good ones are pretty hard to come by.
I would include 2009 CL 63 AMG. That's the best looking AMG ever made
I owned the first AMG in America C36 3.6 L6 and only 200 of them were imported from Germany for 3 years, mine has only 44k miles all original, pristine condition.
I’ve been thinking about the 2013 Mercedes-Benz S5 50
Do you have an opinion on the latest iteration of the C43 W205 model (from 2018+)? I scanned your vids and it appears somewhat invisible....
2007 Mercedes R63 AMG is the fastest minivan that should be on the list. It is truly impressive with its V8 engine producing 507 hp. Just my opinion.
It's so rare
@@itzjdub282 Facts
I am looking to buy a ml55 (w163) … any advice ? Or reliability issues I should look out for ? Thanks !!!
I think you should add the W210 E55 or the W208 CLK55 even with car prices rising they are still cheap for the performance and the CLK hasn't really increased in price so you can get a good example all day for $-7k
Nejlepší auta na světě 👍🔝
Why c55 is not on the list?
@amgMeister what is your opinion about 2007 SL65 and S65 ???
05-11 SLK55 as well!
You missed the best kept secret the 06 CL 55 AMG , Im looking at a few ATM , will buy one soon ...Over priced @ 20, 000 plus , but doable @ 19 ,000
Keeping my SL55 totally stock and watching it go up in value £££
2003 Just 38k miles
Obsidian Black
Hi mate. How much did you spend until now with your ABC suspension? I am a little cautious about purchasing one due to it.
@@caiocastro972 ABC still all original on mine.
They generally don't give trouble till at least 60k.
Even then it doesn't all break at once.
Valve block seal repair kits are cheap as chips around £50.
I would never contemplate an ABC delete kit.
Far more work than renewing a few O rings !!!
"63" in C63 is what keeps me away from a C63
Btw, honorable mention to the biturbo e550 w212. I know it's not a AMG but a crazy bargain for cheap performance after a tune!
You did forgot the w210 E50 AMG with the M119 engine
2014-2016 CLS 63s AMG is also a great option. Sold for $100,000 MSRP and can get ones with 50-70k miles for as low as $32,000... 577 hp btw
I really want to add w123 240D or 300D and E55 for daily… these cars growing on me alot
Surprised the S55 AMG didnt make the list. I picked up an 03 model w/ m113k, no accidents, 120k miles for $9k. And I’ve seen many clean examples listed at $12k and below. Mine is on coilovers already, so no abc issues. That’s a tremendous bargain for a 500hp car.
I picked up an 04 S55 in Dark Blue / Cream Tan interior in 2019 for about $7500. Needed rear air suspension replaced but had 69k miles at the time. All the electronics worked too and I sold it for $11k before Covid now I’m kicking myself lol.
@@don_huzan That would have been a good amount of money today lol. Im debating whether I should keep mine or sell it to try to make some money. Im leaning on keep. I enjoy not having a car payment right now lol
@@ChokolateSushi23 honestly keep it, I predict that once the new hybrid 4-cylinder turbo AMGs hit the market, all of these big v8 AMGs - even the naturally aspirated pre 2003 ones - will go up in value big time. Can’t go wrong with holding onto the M113k because it’s so reliable too.
What about 2006 AMG S55? What do you think about this model?
I love the 2007 s65 classy and sassy
