Gassing up and going isnt really an option in any of them... they are high maintenance cars. And you may be ok with it breaking cause you will have a warranty... but are you going to be ok being with out a car while its getting repaired?

More than likely it will always want or need something

If this is going to be your "daily" car you should probably have a backup car too.

Before that it was another AMG. Before that, it was a 20 year old kraut kan.
