What do you think?
My family has previously owned Jags (S-Type which was not very good and an XJR which was great). The main reason of getting rid was because of the dealership service. After that we sold them both and went with two B5 S4's which are pretty good, but the maintenance is starting to get pretty bad. We want to sell them and I am pushing my parents towards C32 AMG's. How will these stack up to the S4 and XJR durability, reliabailty, maintenance costs?

c32 repairs can be costly.. Make sure they have warranties. I have had thousands of dollars worth work done, luckily all covered under the Starmark extended warranty.
