Thought this might help some of you guys who are thinking of purchasing.

 

We have very similar expenses.

Gas is about the same and both maintenances are close as well.

I had to change all 4 tires, you are lucky to get away with only rears, but fronts are coming.

In year two you can also expect:

Front and rear brake changes
Front tires (in your case)
Maintenance B

This is not a cheap car to own or "normal" for sports cars.
It eats tires and brakes and the maintenance plans are expensive.

 

I wouldnt say its cheap, just less than I expected.

Worth every penny

 

Ouch... Glad to know what us new owners have to look forward to!

 

How many miles did you put on your AMG? I expect to put approximately 6,500 miles a year on my brand new AMG. This is in Florida, and I do not plan to track the vehicle.

 

I put about 10k a year on mine and I don't track it either

 

Just curious if you guys plan on keeping the cars after the 40K mile warranty.

 

I have a 36-month lease, so I'll have to look at how I feel about the vehicle in three years, as well as what MB will charge me to buy it outright at that point.

 

For me it makes no sense to keep the car after the 3 years. The buy back is 65k on my car and after 3 years of payments and down payment the cars total cost would be 110K. They kill us on the monthly payments and the buy back. If my intent was ever to buy it outright I would have just financed it.

This car is going back to them after 30 months with the 6 month trade in allowance or after 36. months with more mileage on it than I originally paid for..

 

I'm in pretty much the same boat as those above -- after 3-4 years, I will certainly move on from my current car. As it stands, that should hopefully keep me under my 4/48,000 waranty

 

I think by the time my warranty runs out the next gen car will be out and ill go for that... or whatever the new GT s... lets see where my financial situation is then haha. Hopefully supercar territory.
