Long-term maintenance cost and mechanical complexity

Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG (W251) · ownership

Owners describe the R63 as a complex vehicle whose many subsystems each need attention over time; it is reliable only when maintenance is never neglected or deferred. One second owner reported roughly $25K in maintenance from end of warranty to 193K miles before rebuilding the engine.
