Mercedes s63 Amg
Fair Miles

Hi guys!
Thanks for all of your help on my previous topic...
Wanted to ask one more thing tho..
I know Car with 80k miles can be in better condition than car of 40-50k miles on it.. its all how u drive it and take care of it.. so what would u guys say that is "too much" miles for AMG car? lets say would u buy AMG car with 70k miles ? or you will consider that too much miles for car?
Thanks so much

I'd buy one with 200K miles on it if it drove correctly and had some good records and maintenance..I have done this many times with Mercedes and will continue to do so...the prices are usually amazingly low when they have big miles....most people are very scared of them and they are still good cars.
I have gone to 430K mles on a 420SEL, and my current E420 has 242K miles and counting every day with zero issues.

Anything under 70 or 80 is low miles, even on a boosted car . IMO. The bearings and other AMG internals are made to last a long time. If they were taken care of.

riding with less miles or more miles speed dosent matters the matter is how technically you drive a car, how often you had its servicing. my current e420 goes with 242 miles k but i dont have problem in driving fast i regularly have its servicing on time..
so i would consider too much miles for a car speed
