[QUOTE="black99lightnin, post: 16103870, member: 21296"] Sorry never saw these. The C63 is a pretty solid car. Biggest issues I see are failed steering column locks. We did see a handful of "lifter" failures on the 6.2 motor but it is rare. My advice, change them when you buy the car. E55's. Air suspension is the common failure, and extremely expensive to fix correctly in the rear. The rear subframe has to come down to replace the rear air bags. Other 211 issues are central gateways that get wet(probably from ac condensation). And SBC brake systems, but MB has stepped up with a 25 year extension off the top of my head. The drivetrains seem to be bullet proof. I've seen a fair amount of Superchager pulley failures. The fuel tanks on standard 211's are warrantied for 30 years I believe. Not sure if that applies to E55's. I've had 2 211 E350's, an 06 base and a current 07 sport E350. Really are great cars. I also have a 212 E350 sport. A great driving automobile. It has the 276 engine.....on those I've seen some wicking issues from the cam sensor/magnets, basically they start pushing oil through the connector and through the wiring harness and eventually into ME(computer). I replaced mine, and they were dry. My personal E has 132000 and if you were to drive it, you'd swear it had 20K. No rattles, squeaks, everything works. It drives great and is very enjoyable. I have a company car that I'm driving lately, a 19 C300 coupe. 4cyl turbo. It feels peppier than the CTSV, which I know is more to do with the 9spd trans. But it is really fun to drive. I know I'm late, but I hope some of this info is helpful to you. PM me your VIN, and I can look up if you have any warranty extentions on your new ride. [/QUOTE]
