any high milage 5.5L biturbo amg's and how are they holding up?

considering one again and dont think i could stomach the depreciation of a new AMG again.

there are a few used available(not a lot) here in Canada with 50-70000 kms (30-43000 miles).

anyone who has one with this many miles can you tell me how reliable they are at this point? when do you/have you had to start replacing stuff? brakes etc..
i realize they should still all be under warranty, but not for much longer.

for example, i just saw a 2012 cls63 with 72k km's(43k miles) with ceramic brakes and all other options, other than B&O sound that id love to have, asking 69k $CAN.

but 72000 kms...???

or would it be more wise to stay down i the 20-30k mile range...???

got backed into, their insurance is covering it...better a new bumper than a repair of plastic..

not sure how things get to carfax

with my 2005 c320 i accidently flooded the engine and had the engine replaced thru my insurance...work was done at my independent mercs place....never showed up on carfax

thats why carfax is really not a great tool for a complete history.

I got high 50k on mine..Runs like a champ. Its modded as well. I do take care of the car though. It is going into service for a oil leak near the trans, thinking may be a seal..I still have the CPO warranty though.

Seems hard to find higher mileage examples of these, however I am hoping to be one of them eventually! I have 45K on mine, a 12, and the biggest things I've had to do is software updates. Seems finer so far!
