Same here but it is my spare car and not my daily driver.

c32 amg evosport stage 2
this cars need a lot of love. Tires for example ? Service 16 plugs ! Then you have problems maybe with the tranny ? Leaking tranny contact could lead to a lot of problems , In my case rebuldning. The m113 have bad chains, within 140 000 km you have to change to be sure that nothing bad happens. It deppens of course how service is done. . Usally some one is selling it beacuse he dont afford the service any more.

This is true. If you can't afford to cherish and maintain these now affordable supercars then please don’t buy one and let it fall apart. So what are we looking at? I get wholesale prices and shop around for the best deals: Tires=$1000, Rotors=$240, Pads=$200, Brake fluid flush=$200, Spark plug wires=$200, Spark plugs=$200, Oil change=$150, Rebuilt air shock=$400, Batteries=$300, and possibly $2000 for a leaking gas tank that MB won’t recall
