Traum vom Benz AMG erfüllen? Oder lieber warten?
Habe heute einen Benz AMG C32 besichtigt mit 354 PS. Wollte schon immer mal AMG fahren
Würdet ihr das kaufen und den Traum erfüllen? Kostet fast 10.000€, ist schon 19 Jahre alt aber 354 PS und purer Luxus
Welche Probleme sind beim S203 denn eigentlich so bekannt? Worauf sollte man besonders achten ?
Extremely expensive in maintenance. Disposed without end. You can count 18-20 litres for power. Spare parts extremely expensive. Otherwise, the typical W203 problems. So electronics and rust.
Very susceptible to false oil. The gear should be flushed every 60,000km.
Watch the test drive. If the gear shifts between 20 and 40km/g, the fingers are immediately shoved, as the transducer is likely to have a shot. This is likely to almost reach the time value during an exchange.
I’d leave it. In addition to the problems and maintenance costs that have already been raised, it is also a good thing to do if something is true. Starts at the service or if brakes are due.
Apart from that, things are usually quite dry, from these gas-sick people who think they must have one and only kick him from lights to lights, but then repel him again when what has to be done and they find out how expensive this is.
And, in my opinion, the answer to people who have to consider whether they can afford such a car is quite clearly NO. People who can afford it do not have to think about it 🙂
I can only agree with the answers here. In addition, the W203 has problems with electrics, steering head bearings, barbars, track rods, track rod head and sometimes the axial joint. These are all parts which are particularly stressed apart from the wear parts.
You have to take care of this at the “normal” W203. This is the more so when an AMG is to assume that the previous owners (m/w/d) are probably not exactly relaxed to the church tower. These whole parts in conjunction with the parts such as brake disc, brake pads, tires are then more or less very quickly dried down.
In addition, there are also the maintenance costs that I would like to estimate approximately between 300 and 400 euros. The box has a 62-litre tank, which means once it’s full-fueling around the 130€. I’m not going out of that you have a Sunday foot. So often you’ll have to keep the trunk in.
Overall, this is an expensive fun…. If you’ve got Bock on it, you’ve got the car.
I’d leave it.
I am surprised that after all your negative experiences you have still learned nothing.
An AMG was my dream over 10 years ago. This just doesn’t change
Then save better and buy yourself one that is younger and better. Do not forget the high maintenance costs that such a vehicle entails.
If you ask others for their opinion, you will also get them. Whether you like it or not.
The RefaUlm just finds BMW better and also bases his opinion on good arguments. You don’t have to follow him.
For me, BMW is not better
Definitive 🤷
It’s just…
I just like the 911s 😅
SUVs irritate me zero and Panamera is the Quasimodo among the Porsche for me
I wanted to say that only the “mother” concert did not want to blow too much into the pan;)
However, I must say: The design of the Panamera already tells me. is also the only Porsche I like visually
Often only the Hang-on Allrad from the VW Group, not even the right Quattro 😅
With nem AMG you only go to AMG, the one who built the engine also waits him with the corresponding costs if you can’t afford it!
I only have my BMW waiting with BMW, who know each other, I don’t buy a M3, for the same money I build one from an E30 with the engine from the E46 or E90 M3 😁👍
You asked what is better than AMG, I just answered you, Alpina and M 😉
Mercedes hasn’t been what they were
And the contract workshops often do not get AMG back. More damage than anything else…
and Porsche I would also leave my fingers, as I meanwhile put too much technology in VW and less and less of Audi (yes I know the same group, yet everyone cooks a little different)
Just looking at the lousy Allrad…
You can save it. Every time the same. Buy yourself an M3, but Benz is just as good and I prefer to drive a C-Class than a 3 BMW
You forget one thing, the AMG is still “just” an old W203 with all the problems that the series had.
This is the small AMG, the right is the C55 AMG!
Better than AMG? Alpina, M (the E46 M3 needs only nen 3.2l R6 without charging or extreme engine capacity to reach almost 350 hp, is lighter and perfectly balanced, the C55 just a thick ship to straight ahead) ð👍
Sorry, but this is a dairy girl bill. The repairs can easily exceed the purchase value of the vehicle.
Do you have any money left for maintenance
I never said AMG or Porsche were not good. But in your case, it is again an old car that will have corresponding age phenomena and thus soon high repair costs. It’s not for free.
Yeah, but you can’t always have bad luck. And what’s better than AMG or Porsche?
Think about your other mistakes 🤷🏻
I’m aware, otherwise I wouldn’t buy a 19-year-old AMG
Uff ne, either the right AMG, the C55 AMG or leave, the C32 is a barrel without ground!
Yes, due to extreme consumption is not really suitable everyday
Well, either completely or not at all, since the consumption of the C32 is hardly lower, however this is not the V8 with 5.5l but just a 3.2l engine with compressor 😉
What about c63? I’m celebrating this as a BMW driver 😄
There was no 203 yet
if you have so much coal left for repairs then buy
Since you’d rather borrow one for a few hours
Why? That would be my own
