C300 vs C450 AMG Maintenance Costs?
Hey All –
I’m currently looking into purchasing a 2015-2016 C-Class, replacing my 2013 GLK350 that now has about 78K miles. I really want the Drivers Assistance Package with Distronic Plus, which I’m finding near impossible to find in a C300 without the “luxury package” grill that I’m not a fan of.
I have been able to find a few C400/C450 AMG have the Distronic in my price range (the bigger engine won’t hurt either
). This leads me to my question, In purchasing a C400/C450 AMG am I looking at more maintenance costs down the road vs a standard C300?
I’ve also read a few posts that claimed the C450 AMG has the same breaks as the C63, and that they are wear crazy fast…is this something I should be concerned with?
Thanks!
Mark
