Default I think I am coming back!!!
I used to have 2008 ISF. Sold it and move to the C63! Which I love! But my warranty is ending and tires are shot and brakes finished. So it will be easier and cheaper to dump the C63 and move to a deeply discounted new 2012 ISF Series 2 in Black with Red interior!

Let the negotiating begin!!!

I don't get it....You're posting to say you're moving on to another 63, or that you're thinking between a 63 and F?

So how much does a C63 brake job cost in your case?

That's a lot of dough!

I recommend the RS5, just b/c it's new.

LMAO. You are getting raped worse than Lexus Owners. I bet with some internet searching you could do all your pads/rotors for a grand or less.

What "sensors" does MB replace? The squeal shims that sit on top of the pads?

New tires should be around 1800 installed.

Probably cheaper to keep your C63.
