My ML320 has gone through three sets of rotors and 4 sets of pads in just under 70K miles. About $1500 for each rotor set replacement. I even tried the aftermarket Zimmerman rotors and they were no more long-lived than the OEM rotors.
An S63 costs a lot more to maintain than an ML. Amongst AMG-tuned MBZ owners "AMG" is said to mean "All Money Gone."
By comparison, my Lexus LS has gone through a single set of rotors and an additional set of front pads in 130,000 miles (although it did cost me $6700 at my 90K service[!]).
$600/year doesn't seem that unreasonable to me.
- segmond 14y ago$6700? You got ripped off. I bought a 90 lexus ls400 with 160k miles used in 2005 for $2500. I put 100k additional miles on it in 6 yrs. I sold it for $2500. In that time period, I spent around $3000 total in maintenance. Most expensive being timing belt/water pump change at 200k miles at $1200. I changed one of the distributor caps, besides that, other expenses were just brakes, rotors, oil change, tire, light bulbs.
