Should I trade for an 02 Merc E55..

My GF has an 2000 E320 4matic w/ 86k. I have to say it's no E55 but the motor is pretty solid. Even the abuse she gives it. But the only BAD thing is she spends about a thousand dollars every time something electronic goes out and and has to go into the shop. Already I know the window motor went out once, the seat adjustment motor went out once, and I think the car just completely shut down twice.

I did a lot of research on E55's before I bought my G, and the word was that the 99-02 W210 E55's were really solid....so, I'm not sure what to believe. I do all my own work, so that helps. I know I can't afford to turbo my G, but man do I want more torque. Tough choice.
Don't do it!!!! Beofre I bought the G, I was gonna buy a used E55 ,too.
As nice as the MB is, and that motor is so sweet.....the repair cost will kill you.
Common issues on those cars:
Window motor fail (causing the windows to fall into the door!)
Cracking dashboards - especially around the pass air bag
Rusting (usually found around the door seals)
