Here's What It's Like To Own The USA's Cheapest AMG Mercedes For A Year
Tyler Hoover is a YouTuber you may know. He owns what was - at the time he bought it - the cheapest Porsche 911 for sale the USA, a car which recently bit the dust. What he’s also owned up until recently is the USA’s cheapest AMG Mercedes: this ML55.
The thought of owning a mid noughties, AMG’d-up Mercedes SUV is downright terrifying, but surprisingly, it doesn’t sound like the year of ownership was that painful. This was despite the fact the car supposedly needed $5000 dollars of work, which Hoover used as a negotiating point to get the price of the car down to a $3500. For any kind of AMG, that’s a ridiculous bargain.
As much as we like Hoover’s amusing used car adventures though, watching them could cause some serious issues to your bank balance. Right now for instance, I’m trawling through the classifieds looking at dirt cheap ML55s…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Wrong. This is the cheapest AMG. Depends if you want the toaster, kettle or coffee maker.
No thanks i’m into Porsches
My dad owns the model below this, the ML430. It is a great and reliable car. Can be expensive to fix but I love the way it drives, like a compact German SUV with a noisy V8!
Cheapest AMG? Where did you shop?
But me: Every Mercedes is worth it. Cuz GERMANS DA BEST!!
Only downside: it literally got stolen recently.
Came here because of roll, no roll going on. Dissapointed.
Funny now, because it’s been stolen…
I don’t suggest to show the new buyer this video. :D (The end tho)
