Maintenance Costs For a C55?

Anyone know how much maintenance would be for a c55 with around 40k miles these days? I'm about to purchase one but i've been told maintenance and repairs cant be pretty pricey.

Just fix things when it needs it

Shouldnt need much for a 40k mile car. If you do VC gaskets and plugs yourself will cost you $150-$180

other than that just oil changes, and regular fluids

just bought my 43k mile 05 C55 two months ago. If you buy a sound car from the start and look it over well, you can't go wrong. This thing is robust, and from what I hear has far less to go wrong that more pricey AMGs. The M113 is an animal!

not much maintenance on c55, oil changes on tranny(every 40k miles) and engine(every 5-7k miles), power steering, brake fluid(6 years) other than that valve cover gasket leak on all m113s every 60k miles they are about 2x$20 each, spark plugs at 100k miles. M113 engine itself is bullet proof, just change your fluids on time.
