I've got almost 43k on an '03 and no abc problems in the 15k that I've put on it.
Broke a couple of motor and transmission mounts but I chalk that off to the extra torque from the ASP pulley.
Of course, the SC pump croaked.

How much you think you spend in repair bills in the 15k miles you drove your '03?
If it was covered under warranty, how much would you think it would have been?
I anticipate repair bills with these cars, just want to know how much...

I have a 2003 CL55. ABC has been a problem. Bad control valve, band lines, bad strut, tempermental in hot or cold weather, not a ig fan of monsoon season.
I have not had issues like squating. Have had about $20K in repairs since I got it last June. AM Warranty covered about 75% of that. As much of a pain in the @$$ it has been with all of the shop time, I still love the car.

It seems that the updated 03 and later models have less trouble then the ones previous to this. Correct me if I'm wrong? Or maybe the amazing engines just make people forget the problems more
I know I would.
