Hey,
1st post here as I'm looking for my 1st ever petrol car. I'm almost 27 years old and have been driving Diesels. Currently in a BMW 335D E92 (coupe) and have modified it heavily.
I'm fortunate enough now.. to have a small window for about a year or so, to have something silly and monstrous, since I've been sensible for the most part and it needs to tick the following:
- 2 door
- 4 seats
- CL55 AMG or similar
- Upto £15k Max (for everything included).. but more realistically around the £10k mark..
I've read many threads re: issues surrounding the ABC, electrics, tyres etc.. I won't even think about MPG since my 335D renders about 40mpg on a good run, even more if I'm a grandad behind the wheel... but since my new job commute has been reduced by half to 10miles one way, I could stomach some running costs.
I'll def get extended warranty on whichever motor I get, which means even if I get a slightly higher mileage CL55 AMG, it will be covered for most things... Is this infamous ABC fault covered under extended warranty?
Do need to sell my car off first but happy start viewing examples now..
Finally, anything I should know before seriously stepping into AMG world?
