I'm mad that according to your fellow AMG owners, you own an early 2000 year Benz that has horrible reliability issues....but recently things are looking up because there hasn't been enough time for things to go wrong.

This just in.......2008 cars produced have no mechanical issues! YAY

See in 2000 I had a 2000 car. I have had what 16+ MB's in the last 10 years? Put about 30k miles on them normally? Some 100k.

I drive cars harder than you ever could dream and I never had problems with my C32 that had 40k miles of road course driving. Sure I broke a bushing here or had a small issue there but the car ran perfectly.

I just gave back my daily driver E350 with 31k miles this morning. 1 unexpected visit to the dealership for work. I know many lexus owners with more trips to the shop than that.
