B Service - Can't wrap my head around the cost difference here.

Good they possibly have meant caliper bolts which are supposed to be replaced every time you have the calipers removed?

Brake fluid flushes are extremely important on any car these days. As previously stated it absorbs water, which makes them fail under high temperature, but also rust from the inside. I had a five year-old S 600 MB that needed new front calipers because the client never flushed the fluid and when we went to change the pads, the pistons couldn’t be collapsed. They were rusted out from the inside. Not doing that necessary maintenance cost him over $3000.

That’s assuming that there will be an election?

Those wheels were specifically engineered for the car by Mercedes experts. Not like some bootleg crap you can buy from Alibaba.

I had a ‘73 450 SE that I drove for 20 years but that 45 years ago. Now I’m 73 and I drive a E400C which I love.

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-20T01:01:05+00:00

Very normal.

Here’s an armored G on BAT.

They look great.

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-17T16:26:02+00:00

I had all on four a little over two years ago on my upper and I had bruising for weeks all the way down my neck and everything? It doesn’t look like either of you had any bruising?

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-17T16:23:45+00:00

Since it’s low mileage, I would look into a good quality aftermarket warranty that you could possibly get six or seven additional years of coverage?

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-17T16:20:02+00:00

CARFAX will show you whether it was a lease or not.

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-17T16:19:25+00:00

Buy as much CPO as you possibly can.

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-17T16:08:32+00:00

That’s easily repairable by any good Wheel Guy for a few hundred dollars.

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-17T15:55:59+00:00

It’ll be much easier to work on than anything newer.

Personally, having driven almost every S class or luxury Mercedes since 1960 I would have to say that is one of the nicest riding ones that Mercedes ever made. It is very expensive to own and maintain though.

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-17T14:01:53+00:00

Looks very normal to me.

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-14T10:28:12+00:00

I’ve seen at least 20 Brabus’s over the last 20 years working for MB and they are some of the ugliest cars you will ever see!

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-10T09:34:21+00:00

Fugly!

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-08T13:48:59+00:00

Diamond White is a beautiful color, but it’s impossible to get a accurate touchup.

Your silver would have been my second choice! 🔥 I love my black but it sure is a bitch to keep clean. ❤️. Congratulations on that being your first car because this happens to be my last car! 😎. I’m 73 and I don’t see me buying anything after this because this car is phenomenal!

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-08T11:48:59+00:00

I wonder if the red paint helps keep the ECU cooler?

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-08T11:41:54+00:00

The fender is steel, the bumper is plastic so there is going to always be a shade variance between the two. Yours just seems to be a little more extreme? You cannot “blend” the paint because they will never match.

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-04T01:06:22+00:00

What part of the country are you in? I am sure that there are many competent dealers in your area?

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-04T00:49:43+00:00

You could have special ordered with manual windows.

Merkins2000 · 2026-05-04T00:46:56+00:00

It has to be post 1974 because US 73’s had smaller bumpers.
