Howdy

Good morning all,

I have been looking at the W213 AMG's for quite some time and might actually be ready to pull the trigger on an used model.
2020 E63 AMG Wagon, 52K miles on it.

I have been lurking around the forum to learn about potential issues and saw on of the big ones are the RMS leaks. I got the dealer to agree to put the car up on a lift so that I can look at some other items and while it is up, I will look if I can see and signs of the leaks.
Well, I hope to report soon that I am a new owner.

Thanks

The problem with the RMS is, if you don't have it now, you will have it later

I have been drooling over these for quit some time!

I got the selling shop to put the car on the lift. Looked pretty clean under it. I am in AZ but the car came from NY. I use to be in Syracuse NY, so was a bit concerned with rust. I will get it on the lift once I get it home and do more scouting.
They also offer a 3 month warranty on the drive train, so I will get the car to the local deal and have them do a thorough once over and take care of anything that the warranty will cover.
I will post some pics soon!

As long as you know (have a warranty???) you are set. The reason I am not in the 4.0 (well, reasons) is the massive costs for most things. I have had bad luck with higher compression 2.0 turbo...I don't need twice the issues (meaning, RMS). As many threads say, it is a non-issue with the proper oil separator, they think....

Then again, I am in the 5.5 that is known to score cylinders and on and on and on...
