Get the Best Priced Mercedes CL63 AMG Brakes

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG is a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, with rear wheel drive and a 7-speed multi sequential manual clutch. At a base price of $153,905 and an optioned price of $181,615 this car will absolutely make you feel like King of the Road. It can be driven on a racetrack with pretty decent results but this car is made to drive on the open road. As with most high-end automobiles of this class, you are going to burn oil, go through a set of pricey tires every 7,000 miles and burn up brakes if you drive like your burning heart desires. Some other common issues with this dream car are pre-mature wear of leather seats, ticking engine noises, noisy cam chain adjusters, erratic oil temp displays and other annoying but non-life threatening issues. These issues can change between each year of the CL63 AMG, and some owners have reported no problems at all with their Benz. This is a high maintenance vehicle. Along with more gas (19mpg) and more tires, expect to put a lot of oil into this engine, as oil will be your biggest maintenance cost over time. Ordinary scheduled maintenance will also incur a higher per service cost than average vehicles. Parts cost more and services cost more.

Signs of Failing or Worn Brakes

When brakes are no longer capable of providing the friction needed to stop your vehicle, you will begin to see symptoms of failing brakes. If your brakes are noisy, the possibility that your brake pads are wearing thin, is high. If you are having poor brake response or a pulsating brake pedal, then you also have signs of failing brake pads. Overheating the brakes through overuse, hard use, or staying on the brake during high grade downhill roads, as well as leaking fluids contaminating the pad surface all contribute to your brake problems. If there is excess drag while accelerating, this can be a symptom of of rust on the emergency brake. Pulling to one side or the other can also be a sign of frozen brakes in the front, or leaking fluids on the pads or shoes. If the brakes feel spongy or mushy, this is usually a sign of air in the brake lines and can easily be fixed by bleeding the brake lines.
