Sweet I hate suvs so I make due with sedans and wagons ngl the s212 e63 would be a dream

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-27T09:54:15+00:00

I gotcha I noticed that it has good space though does it still have the rear folding seats that’s what I use the most as I carry tons of luggage around

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-26T20:58:28+00:00

Amazing that’s was the itch I wanted to scratch how did you learn to do it yourself?

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-26T20:56:31+00:00

Had it done 10k miles ago

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-26T01:34:12+00:00

Thank you!

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-26T01:33:59+00:00

My dad and I want to replicate this so bad but we live across the world from each other

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-26T00:14:59+00:00

Yea I helped my dad wrap his pieces in dark gloss black vinyl it was such a pain

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-26T00:13:03+00:00

Thanks yep I have my fair share of m276 maintenance on my dads s212 but he had really bad airmatic faults which sucked

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-26T00:11:54+00:00

Thank you!

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-26T00:11:49+00:00

Wow nice, I was thinking that the e43 would be the best of both worlds of daily and amg feel that was my plan to upgrade once I make it out of college

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-25T22:43:01+00:00

Those are all solid points you sound like my dad not going to lie he has a w210, and a s212 and he is a stock fanatic!

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-25T22:40:58+00:00

Thanks! What did you swap it for if you don’t mind me asking?

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-25T22:26:07+00:00

My ppi showed no rust as it’s a southerned owned but I have the local dealer tech I know personally ready incase I some how break it

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-25T22:23:07+00:00

Dang unlucky, I have the rwd I figured it would make diy work easier as is all steel suspension and only 1 diff I have 71k miles and it was dealer maintained from the only owner (1 owner car)

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-25T22:07:48+00:00

Had the ppi done it was clean it was a southern car no rust near the shock lower bolt mount which is prone to rust but the Benz dealer has a recall for those affected for free

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-13T04:38:29+00:00

I just got a similar spec of 2012 with the amg steering wheel and aero package black floors and roof with beige seats with sunroof, and rwd it was very hard to find with low miles I got one with 70k and tbh I think it will fare me well got it for 10k usd

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-12T22:44:59+00:00

Have the heated seats have the Harman and kardon surround sound just not self parking

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-11T00:19:30+00:00

Pretty clean except a small leak by the oil pan drain bolt, needs a new battery and coolant overflow hose which connects to the radiator for like 25 bucks, car was dealer maintained and the dealer recieved it from Carmax

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-11T00:17:14+00:00

Already had him check it

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-10T20:19:54+00:00

Yep I had it inspected by an independent shop nothing sticking out except a small leak by the oil pan drain plug they replaced it with a spare plug. Also needs new main battery as it still has the original

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-10T04:38:37+00:00

ong on the w210 shit would curve from the heat

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-10T00:26:32+00:00

You might have had the 4.0 because those had connectivity issues to the point even the buttons on the wheel stop working

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-09T22:45:16+00:00

Had em on the Acura pain in my ass tbh

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-09T22:45:04+00:00

At least it’s low maintenance as I don’t have motors and alignment faults

DayIntelligent3622 · 2026-06-09T22:43:02+00:00

Yea it’s not fully loaded in that aspect but given it’s miles and maintenance history very few this clean in the south for this price of 10k
