Buying C32 soon. Need Help PLEASE!!!
I am new to the forum and am considering buying a C32 AMG. Ever since I looked at the C32 almost two weeks ago, I knew that this is the car that I want. It is the best car I have seen. I am here to get some opinions and would greatly appreciate any input. Whatever is said here will weigh heavily in my decision. My first question is that how much time do you all spend maintaining these cars? I do not know much about how cars and how they work. If I have to spend every weekend maintaining this car, then it might be a problem. Secondy, I live in DC/metro area and is very congested and I would use this car as a daily driver. So my second question is how will the C32 hold up in bumper to bumper traffic? Max I would put on is about 10,000 miles a year. Final question is what is the overall reliability of these cars? Meaning, from what you know, have most C32 amg's you have seen been reliable? I know that there can be a few bad apples. But I just want to know overall how reliable this car is. Remember, you all will pretty much help me to get the car or not.

Willkommen!
Maintaining it depends no how much you use the car meaning will you be driving it hard or driving miss daisy?
There are a lot of C32's here in cali and traffic here is prolly worse than what you guys have there. Haven't heard from the 32 owners here that their car would stall during traffic etc. You may want to do a search.

I have owned my C32 for a month now and also reside in the DC area. The C32 so far has been amazing. Although its only been a month, its been reliable and I enjoy it as an everday car with all the crazy congestion in this area. I hope I wont have to constantly maintain this car as is warrantied and so far in great condition. I reccomend this car! If you plan on driving only 10k miles a year then I cant see you having issues. It all depends on how you take care of it. To ensure your car doesnt have any problems make sure its in perfect condition BEFORE you buy it. My advise is to buy certified pre-owned from MB. You'll enjoy it. Good Luck
