Used Non-Warranty 2014 E63 S AMG 55K+ Miles Buying Suggestion
Hi,
I currently own a 2015 C300 Sports Sedan and i love it. However i am liking this USED 2014 E63 S AMG Certified Pre-owned with 55K+ miles (fully loaded + excellent condition) on it. This car is out of warranty.
Currently owning a mercedes i know service maintenance is expensive however i would like to know how is the maintenance cost to own an AMG?
Is it a good idea to buy a used non-warranty AMG? Are there any hidden running costs buying a used AMG which i should think of?
Can i still buy an extended warranty similar to factory warranty which covers everything and how much would that cost?
Sorry for so many questions but as a first time AMG buyer i am excited but i have my concerns too which is putting me in a hard decision on what to do!
Please advice, i appreciate your help!!
Thank you.

The AMG performance models have some differences than others like; front-rear tire sizes, periodic maintenance costs. Sure that these are more expensive than normal models.
(fully loaded + excellent condition): To be sure about that it is "fully loaded" take the VIN then check https://www.datamb.com.

You said in your description it is a CPO. Is it or not?
CPO covers a lot, but not all. If it is you can also extend the CPO for an additional 2 years. I just did it on my 2014 that was purchased 2 years ago as a CPO car.
Everything is more expensive on an AMG. They are unique and powerful vehicles with great stopping power. If your bank account is low I would not go there. Price out some of the components that will need replacement, like rotors. There is nothing cheap on those cars.

On the other scale or things, a 2014 E63S has giant front brake rotors that cost almost $1000 each in parts alone. No pads, no labor, just the rotor. And it's the steel rotor (not the carbon-ceramic). While it is a nice two-piece rotor, so the price is somewhat understandable, I hope this datapoint gives you an indication that even routine maintenance parts can be shockingly expensive. I hate to price out non-warranty engine or transmission (special to the AMG) work. Other things specific to a E63S wagon is that it has air shocks in the back that go bad every few years, necessitating $$$ in repairs. Remember, running costs for a $110k car will not depreciate like the car.
To be honest, I had looked into buying a E63S wagon myself, and had in fact driven one for a bit (friend's car). I dearly hoped to buy one…such was its allure…but eventually gave up that idea after realizing that its running cost would be, ahem, a bit high, even assuming I didn't get a dud. At that kind of money (purchase and running costs), one may as well buy a cheap wagon/minivan/truck and a 997.2 for the weekend speed kicks. But that's just the left brain talking. If you've got the cash, and your right brain says Go, well, YOLO.
The last time I checked extended warranties, the cost for AMG vehicles are at least twice as much as its non-AMG counterpart. I remember being quoted $6k+ to extend the factory warranty for another 3 years and up to 100,000 miles for a 507 edition C63. Third party warranties will vary in price, but you usually get what you pay for.

Thank you for detailed answer and gives me a good idea of what i am going into.
I looked the car fax and it was initially a corporate lease and CPO but then it had multiple owners and looks like not CPO anymore. The car has 6 previous owner everyone kept the car for a year and this makes me worried 6 owners maybe something is wrong with the car?
I have got cash to afford an AMG like tires, rotors, service A/B maintenance but again i am not too sure if buying a used car and something major goes wrong with engine or transmission! Just my inner fear which is making me uncomfortable now. Honestly i would rather get a pure CPO car having extended factory warranty for peace of mind.
Another factor i noticed is my car insurance for AMG will go up too which i didn't think of earlier.
I am still making up my mind but not sure at the same time. I guess i'll look around and wait for the right time and then make some decision.
Thanks again for your help and all others!
