R63 AMG - The unicorn of my destruction

Some of you have probably already come across this.
Not VAG related, but definitely interesting read (maybe a weekend read as it's 62 pages and counting)

About a guy who buys a used 94k mile MB R63 AMG (only 44 sold in the US).
Headbolts break (known issue) after 12k miles.
The rest is the story of his ordeal with the dealership, MBUSA and his resolution.

I know I made it sound like watching water boil, but it really is quite interesting.

seems like he's got a pretty good gig... :D

i'm about where he buys the lift. :p

For sure. Stay at home dad, gets some awesome cars, gets to autocross and do Car & Driver One Lap.

Unfortunately the saga hasn't ended yet, so we don't know the outcome yet

I'm going to read it, but just wanted to mention I was all over buying a lightly used C43 (or was it C63) AMG years ago. So I called MB parts and wanted to know how brake pads and rotors cost. That convinced to me to go VW.
