Those things he mentioned are pretty minor considering I expected issues with the V12. But he did say "call to discuss" so there might be more issues.
Would be sweet to add to a big garage collection! Someone go check it out!
Would be so badass to convert this to manual...  | A guy I know is interested in it, but when I tried to set up a day to go there and look at the car, he never replied. He's trying to sell this at least since January.

Those MB V12's are brutal. My dad had an '01 S600 and it was the worst car he's ever owned. The $5,000 extended warranty paid for itself after the first 2 visits to the dealer. The other 10 visits were free. HAHA!

^ reason why most if not all of the aftermarket warranty companies will not touch a V12 MB with a 12 foot pole anymore

I liked it when you could post comments on the revscene.net for sale section. Call out people with retarded prices and misinformation. Kinda sucked when you were selling but it's no fun now.

Might seem a bit pricey at first but then you realize how rare these things are + warranty. http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/4756898469.html

It seems as if AMG fucked up in a few key areas when developing their first production engine - as opposed to previous AMG engines which were just modified Mercedes engines. One problem is the head bolts can stretch or even snap. The other problem is the cams wear on the lifters due to the soft iron camshafts wearing on the harder steel lifters - adding to this is the engines aren't lubricated properly during cold starts.
2010+ cars as well as all of the SLS AMGs seem to have all of these these issues solved.

I posted this in other threads but since the company checks out, I'll post it here 2002 LEXUS LS430 LOW KMS LOCAL CAR REAL QUALITY VEHICLE
Has 144,000 KM on it but it's the Ultra Luxury Trim. Would I be an idiot to trade in my fairly well modified Holden G8 for this? I miss my V8 | |
