Mercedes and Audi Maintenance? used

[Gasser64]

A guy I work with bought his wife a used 2020 G63 with about 4K miles on it. I believe it was about $160K. He has had so many problems with it that it has become downright comical. They had to order parts from Germany to get the rear brakes to stop squeaking. The stealership kept it for over three weeks to fix that. Now the fancy electronic dash goes in and out while going down the road. I told him not to buy that pile of shit but he said his wife wanted it. She already has an Escalade but that isn't good enough I guess. lol

A fool and his money. He'll find a way to end up poor.

You have a retarded dog?!

primary use for us would be going to the racetracks and being able to stay with some creature comforts. tech usually starts at 7a and I'm not a morning person. my GF is a teacher and I work remote so we have a couple months of time to travel yearly. add a special needs dog to the mix and it really makes the most sense for us

My mom wanted one of these, took no research and it'll be a Ford.

I'm actually hoping to avoid it all and buy her a house. She's got this idea of retirement, but has enough friends with RVs they don't use, ever.

I've never understood the appeal of camping/rv, they've got cabins and hotels everywhere.

Well well. Lease is up in a few months for the jeep. Mercedes can still be an option getting a year or two old one. Now if they could do american wagon again.

good to know, I've been eyeing a rv based on the sprinter diesel

Back in 2009 I was thinking about buying a used E46 M3 but after talking to a tech at Park Place motors I decided to keep my Trans Am.

I would definitely get an E36 if I could find a nice one for less than an arm and a leg.

If you can find a pre 2006 with low mileage it's not a bad platform. Like every other diesel it's the EGR, DPF and Urea systems that keep the SES lamp on. You can tune and delete it out on the older ones, I don't know anything about the 2.1L engine though.

The 08+Ford chassis V-10s are much more popular and the drivetrains are pretty much indestructible but you will pay for it at the gas pump.

If you plan on driving it a lot and can handle the size the Roadtrek and Pleasure Way RVs are pretty nice. They are basically one ton domestic vans, sometimes with wider bodies but usually just a long wheel base van with a hallway that serves as a kitchen/shower as needed. You get smaller everything but still a queen sized bed. Not great for boondocking but you can park them on the street, black out the windows and people won't call the police because it doesn't look like an RV unless you run the generator.

You would get more enjoyment out of throwing all your money in pile and lighting it on fire, that way losing all your money would end soon.

Own a Sprinter Van, and the losing money never stops.

You Nailed It 100%

More programming and coding, and secret coding and programming,


My company owns a huge fleet of Sprinter Vans.

Try to keep a Check Engine light off of one these vans is impossible.

I've had brand new parts from Mercedes go bad within weeks.

I installed a Mercedes Reman Engine and Immediately had throttle sensor faults and a those parts are new with the engine.

What a joke the 2.1 diesel engine is, Vacuum hose nightmare, intake warps and dumps oil down the side of the engine. TOTAL SHIT !

WTF has happened to Scotty's voice ?

Wasn't it always that way?

That guy is a fucking moron and the video was posted by a moron.

You're a retard. Read the thread you replied to. Everyone and their dog warning the OP away, and for good reason.

Go back to throwing old ladies out of their houses so you can get the money, cockmex.

Uummmmmm...what? There is a 2021 E63 in sedan and wagon.

Yes, not in the USA. Mercedes wasn't making sales in the USA, so they stopped the wagon sales here
