is it reasonable?
this is the main reason that everyone should know how to due maintenance on their vehicles. Thats why you shouold know how much parts and maintenance costs are. But people buy these cars with out the knowledge that these cars are expensive to maintain. the C63 is the cheapest AMG to maintain, as compared to the E, CLS, S, SL and CL models. The more the AMG costs, the more expensive it is to maintain. I know this first hand as I have two AMGs.Ding ding ding.. we have a winner.. for the record, the parking brake/emergency brakes are all mechanical linkages, no hydraulics, no electronics in between the pedal and the rotors, just cable, springs and mechanical mechanisms to engage the pads...
If you do not periodically use it, it can, and possibly will seize up, could be in the open position, or engaged position. I have had this happen on 2 of my previous cars..
In theory, you could fix this yourself, but lubricating the cables are a pain in the butt.
