AMG owernship experience

[Iggu]

The car was purchased late last year.

Which AMG model do you own?

 

[clk320x]

Imaginary55 - AMG

On a serious note, I have heard most of the roads in NZ are unpaved/not in great condition could this be the reason you are experiencing such issues with suspension etc etc??

It'll be parked next to his unicorn.

Woah... I’m not keen on debates getting personal between members!

The serious parts of this thread are very interesting.

I am hoping to move into a C63 in the very near future.
Having done the maths etc I have [mental man maths] catered for the tyre and fuel issue

I think you have to attack the purchase with your eyes as wide open as you can and the best advice ever given to me regarding buying a second hand "super car" was no matter what you pay, you will have 70k car running costs.

Also, I see no issue with using independents rather than the main dealers. A good independent is gold dust and when i have been fortunate enough to have cars which merited such treatment I went the independent/specialist route for servicing and pre/post trackday checks.

Show me where I said I owned it, then I'll show you where you lie and spread deceit through the skin of your teeth, or I might just leave that to the intelligent readers to understand for themselves....

I will never own an AMG and I have already explained why, I do however have a deep financial interest in it. Now be careful before you jump to another conclusion - rather don't, just go right on ahead and jump away.

Best thing an AMG owner can do is be aware of the real costs of ownership and each and everything I said about that is 100% true. You on the other hand have exactly what experience with AMG ownership and maintenance, please inform us again, yet you see fit to comment in the way you have? You don't even know what I am talking about?

You have form now; believing stuff I don't say and not believing stuff I do say, that in my book is driven by something quite extraordinary - isn't it...?

The serious parts of this thread include what I have already said and need to be understood by somebody who asks the questions the OP asked. You on the other hand have no idea what I am saying but still wish to comment on it?

Still waiting for my apology.

The OP has a 2015 S63 AMG Coupe. When did you purchase yours, to have had such bad luck with it?

The car was purchased late last year.

Check the title and first sentence of the thread, do you actually own an AMG or had any time what so ever with one financially?

About the most deceitful and cruelest thing you could do to the OP is to accuse people who tell the truth about AMG ownership [which is what he is seeking] of being nuts.

Here you go.

Do you actually read the things you write?

Why are you still asking for an apology you sad weirdo? It's obviously not forthcoming.

 

[WDB124066]

First class. I'll leave all that to the people who read it to decide.

What I will add to the equation on AMG ownership is that if you find yourself a decent dealership service adviser and manager, with a decent lead tech, things can go a lot better than they could if you didn't. A well functioning dealership is a very good thing to have behind you, sometimes they like strawberries and ice cream for Xmas though...

Good grief man, can’t you two give it a rest, you’re like a pair of kids in the playground!

 

[WDB124066]

Thank you Lee.

 

[rockits]

I think Lee said pair.

OK.
I've owned a face-lift 2013 C63 AMG for 18 months and it has cost me nothing in maintenance other than the service pack which is 40 odd quid a month. I've done 10,000 miles on the same set of (brand new tyres) the car had on it when I bought it with 11,000 miles on it. I use it to commute into Manchester City centre every day and I take it on fast drives in North Wales and Yorkshire whenever I can. I've been to Germany in it, Cornwall in it and London twice. I'm on 19 inch alloys.
Not one thing has gone wrong with it.
My average mpg is 19mpg.
It has been the most bullet proof and reliable car I've owned so far.
What you have said is 0% true for my AMG ownership experience so I think you are misleading the OP with excessive negativity which is probably borne out of frustration that you have never owned the very car he is asking about.
You cannot be an expert in something you have never experienced. The OP is asking about the experience of owning an AMG - you don't have that experience yet you have posted more in here than anyone else.
It isn't helpful to anyone.

All true, but I think you're wasting your time. Some people are like headless chickens; they're dead, but they just keep on walking...

 

[TeeCee]

I’m so confused - so I now have to cover myself in custard and take a picture of me on my car to prove I have an AMG ? When did the custard rule start ?

"you sad weirdo? " Is this really necessary ?

 

[MancMike]

No, but I was trying to get the point across that asking for an apology from me is both strange and pointless.

It didn’t, it’s not a rule. Nobody asked you to prove anything as you’re not obviously a total fantasist.

We can't take his word for it. Let the custard do the talking!

Do you think it helped ?

 

[MancMike]

Yeah I do. Wtf is this?
