So far so good. Rides great and alignment is only slightly off. I just havent had the time to get it done. Im only going to have the car a few more months so I wont be buying any alignment mods. Whatever the dealer can do with whats stock will do. The tires are wearing fine right now but I will get the alignment done maybe this week regardless. Once I get the specs I will post them up.

How is that 15# mini battery holding up? I have been thinking about one but was also concerned about the reserve amps on them. I would love to get the 15# but not sure once it gets cold if it would be enought was
thinking the 21# might do the trick?

I have had zero problems with it but did remove it. My 17 mo old son likes to sit in the car and play the stereo and I didn't want to take a chance. But in my honest opinion I would go with the 21# battery. That's still a 40# weight savings and the little extra reserve is a nice piece of mind if it's a daily driver. I'm sure it's mental but there were times ut seemed to struggle on hot starts. So I say 21#

Good info thanks. The 21# it is, ever pound counts and when you can get 40+ without giving up anything that's huge!

I will just keep a battery tender on it in the winters since it isn't driven as much.

Thanks

I personally wouldn't buy any AMG out of warranty. If it does break the cost for repair would br astonishing. My brand new 2008 E63's trans failed at 900 miles and estimated repair was 18k. Covered under warranty of course. I mean there are always the exception. If you find a super clean low mileage well cared for well documented service history car maybe I would take the chance. I would definitely have to really think it over. You can buy extended warranties and that would be the route I would go. The peace of mind is priceless.

Keep in mind the recent problems w/ Mercs is related to the fact that they were part of Chrysler until 2006.

As we get further away from then, these cars should get more reliable, especially a motor like the C63 (w/ of course is the same de-tuned motor in the E and S) w/ has had all the bugs worked out.

BTW, I also have a Eurocharged tune.

Cool thanks for the info. Do you recommend extended warranty thru Mercedes? or is it cheaper to purchase warranty from a outside warranty company?
