Maintenace costs on a C63
Can someone enlighten me here on the costs for the
1) First rear axle oil change
2) 10k service
3) 20k service
costs individually?
I'm trying to see if PPM is worth it

It actually comes out to be a wash in the end. If you are leasing; it cannot be added to the MSRP; so you paying for it fully over the course of the term.
The rear diff costs about $150. The 10k Service is about $250-$350 depending on dealership labor rates. The 20K Service is about $350-$450. 30K is about $250-$350 (Same service as 10K). All of your PPM includes replacement Wiper Blades. So in the end it's a brake end. Your 1st Rear Diff Service is included in PPM.

Thanks JP. Looks like:
rear diff: $150
10k: $350
20k: $450
30k: $350
40k: $450
$1750 total. However, the PPM quote I got was for $2350 for 4 years. Why even do PPM then?

Still... the delta is about $600 between not having PPM and having it. Any price increase would affect both paths, right?

I did not know you were purchasing a 4 Year PPM. So yes, the 4th service is extremely expensive. If you plan on keeping the car for 3 years it's a break even. If you are keeping it for 4 or more years; then go for the PPM.

Does the 4/40k PPM include the spark plug replacement at 40k ?

There is a total of $100 profit in PPM. Do not try to be a hero by asking if your local dealership could do better on the price.
If the spark plugs are required at 40k then yes they would be covered.

No. They can't. In the same way LG can't void my TV's warranty because I'm using a Logitech remote with it. Read your manual, so long as maintenance is properly carried out and documented, you're fine.

I currently own a 2014 Audi S5 and prepaid $830 for all scheduled service through 45K miles. Now I know that an S5 is not the same as a C63S, so let me also share that scheduled service through 45K miles on an R8 is only $1,160. Certainly an R8 is equivalent in mechanics to a C63S. My point is Audi substantially discounts their service cost if you pay in advance whereby it seems that MB charges rack rate. Lots of upside with MB; however, this is one thing that I am not very impressed with.

The math does not add up. I was quoted $1900 for 3 year PPM. However, out of pocket numbers here show 3 years of service would cost $1300, which includes the rear differential service. Did I miss something?
