My car is freaking brand new!!!

I did on my own before taking it in new oem plugs and wires,rotors,new supersport tires,tranny flush and it got a bunch of things done under warranty before it ran out

 

Nice!

 

NICE!

 

wowsers!

 

NIIIIICE...

 

That warranty paid for itself and then some. That's awesome.

 

Wtf cost 9 grand ?

 

Man I was way off!

And to think warranty companies stopped covering AMG's....lol.

So is it for sale again?

 

4800 in labor and 4000 in parts? LMAOOOO...how to people allow themselves to get ripped off by the dealer like this ( obviously not talking about skratch since he had warranty ). What was replaced? The engine and tranny?

 

+1

 

new tcu
conductor plate
supercharger clutch
2 keyless go door handles
2 ball joints
new power steering pump and valve
vavle cover gaskerts(they also cleaned the engine of oil)
rear main seal on the back of the block
oil pan gasket kit
fresh mobile 0w-40
new oil level sensor(they said it was leaking)
engine and transmission mounts
directional lever on the steering wheel

and the best detail I have ever seen,the car is spotless
I don't know what firmware is on my new tcu but the car is shifting so much faster and softer,the supercharger engagement is smooth as silk also.

 

I just bought a e63 body kit and a complete star setup what do you think its worth now?I also have a supersprint mid section and supersprint xpipe/resonator and was getting 25k 3 weeks ago before the work

 

Glad you keeping it brotha You need to join the club in that monster soon.

 

I find it interesting that these warranty companies cover all of that. Half of that stuff is maintenance! The dealerships will try to do whatever they can to get the warranty to cover these things because they know they'll just write them a check and cover it all so they take advantage of it.

 

Keep the car. Basically brand new!!!

 

Or maybe sell it NOW, while it's perfect!

It's kind of a toss-up situation to be in.... yes, the car is basically new again but without a warranty the next round of repairs is going to come out of the owner's pocket. That can really sour the "love affair" in a hurry.....

On the flip side, showing a potential buyer receipts for $9000+ may not have the intended effect either. It may be perceived as a car with a lot of issues that will continue to cost big money to keep running in the future... I understand that those invoices are wildly inflated, but having that much work done every time it goes in to the shop might scare off a buyer who can't get warranty coverage.

Props for getting the most out of your warranty... it seems to have paid for itself many times over. I don't regret buying my warranty and I'm sure that mine will pay for itself as well (though probably not as dramatically as yours!)... I'm still very pleased that I have 3 full years of remaining coverage (March 2016) before I have to start worrying about expensive repairs.

I wouldn't even take 30k for it and have already got 2 people that hit me up.my tuner offered me 28k and I said I just bought 3k worth of mods coming in lol

To be honest the car had 15k left if left the way it was and wasn't really in bad shape at all.I only did this all at once because the warranty was ending.

I'll put money that everyone's e55 on this board right now has oil seaping out the rear main seal and there valve covers are leaking also.

The only major issue was the tcu change that was making the car act up from oil going up the wire and getting inside the tcu

 

How is a rear main seal leaking covered by warranty?

 

People are happy to let the dealer rip off the insurance company for $9K in "repairs" they would never in a million years pay for themselves, then turn around and complain that warranties are too expensive and dealers charge too much.

 

My warranty cost $5100

 

wow they nailed you... but you nailed them back harder lol . good job.

 

Alot of the warranties out there cover gaskets and this would be covered under this.

 

How much would you like to bet? You know what assuming does.......

Let me ask you. You had trans oil in the tcu. Where do you think it came from?
It came from the trans electrical connector and wicked up the harness to the unit. Did the harness get replaced? If not then that oil is still there.

It is normal for warranties to cover oil leaks though that's the point right?

Congrats on the repairs

 

That's precisely his point.

 

I'll put money on it.there were 5 e55s in my family and every single one leaked oil from the rear main seal.

Everyone one came with a dead supercharger pump also

Do you honeslty think they did not replace the whole harness?

So let me ask you this its OK to spend 5k on a warranty and not use it?

I just fixed the voltage reg and a few other things on my own and didn't want to make a claim.the inspector came and went over my car for an hour and approved the work.its not my fault the warranty covers everything and I could of taken it to an Indy but it would not of got done right.
