G55 reliability
Hey guys, i have a good deal on an 03 g55 amg with 60k miles on it.
are these things reliable? I don't want to get a good deal and then have to shell out for other things..

Dont get it, I strongly suggest you to get a 05+ G55 AMG because for 2005 they get the Kompressor on it which is basicly a supercharger which produces 470 hp same as the CLS55 and E55 AMG

I understand all the facts about hp... but i have a deal on an 03.
at this price.. i will lose only about 8g's in 2 years of ownership. But I don't want to have to shell out for big parts.
Im a warranty type guy

I know someone who had a 03 G500 and always had problems with it!! I would say that it would be a risky move if u are gonna be banking on the fact that u dont have to spend a lot on fixing it.
For $60k-$70k why not just get something reaaaaally cool like a CPO Cayenne Turbo or a low mileage Range Rover Sport, or CPO MB E55 AMG etcc...

I have around 30k on my 2005 G55k, and have not had any issues with it all.
Getting the squeaks and rattles taken care of that did require 2-3 trips to the dealer, but they got em fixed.
Very sturdy vehicles and very reliable AFAIC.
Good luck,

2003 was not a very good year for the G55, close to the 1998 ML's, but not quite. If you are looking for the 2003, I would definately make sure it has the Starmark extended service plan.
If you plan on the Supercharged G55, if you decide to Kleeman it, Kleeman has a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on parts/labor. I personally have had 2 G55 Kleeman's come in with cracked headers or a hole or two in the catalytic converter's.
Just a fair warning, good luck if you decide to purchase.
