Buying a Mercedes C63 in Europe, maintenance cost
Hi fellas
Used the search but didn't found exactly what I'm looking for.
I'm sure there are C63 owners in Europe (outside UK as prices are different there). I'm from more of eastern side of Europe. I'm considering buying a C63 coupe, the car will be driven daily (around 10k km per year), but I'm not sure about the annual costs on such vehicle. I'm not talking about oil and filter change, but more like brake discs and pads, struts and shocks, are they expensive considering it's an AMG? If you could share prices I'll be grateful. I'm currently driving CLK 500 W209 and the maintenance is literally nothing (250$ for a pair of front discs and pads for example, the oil changes I'm doing on my own). I want to upgrade, not that much for the power (which is more than welcome of course), but the 5G transmission is really slow and I'm looking for something faster and modern which MCT is.
Of course I'm considering other vehicles as well, such as Mustang S550 GT, BMW F30 340i and Dodge Challenger SRT, but not gonna lie the W204 is on my heart.
Cheers,
Chris

guess you could go on FCP Euro and compare costs of these consumables compared to your existing ride, however where things may deviate is the specific example C63 you may acquire and its condition/history etc.

I'd budget $1500/year for the US ones minimum, it's looking like 2k including tires.

With the plan using your new car for daily driving what ever you brought I would change all the filters, check all the pads and carry out the servicing yourself.
Pelican parts is a very good business, I buy my BMW and Mercedes parts from them and they are posted to New Zealand.
Once you have brought your C63 up to fully serviced operation 10k km per year will mean 2 oil changes per year for 2 years then recheck your filters etc.
