@ScottSinger if this is an AMG from the past 7 years or so, the rear electric parking brake can be retracted by the owner without a separate computer system. It’s a series of key presses on the steering wheel. The front pads are completely mechanical and require no electronic interaction.
It's a 2012 AMG c63 black series. I wanted something that is more analog, with not a whole lot of tech to deal with as I'm planning to keep it for along time. Something that is rare enough that it will hold its value better than most of my other cars I've owned in the past. The car won't be my only vehicle so the millage will likely be around 5k miles per year at the most. I have a local shop that works on my e93 and will be taking care of this car.
We actually wrapped up the deal on Friday and the car is now sitting in my garage. I will do a proper post with full pictures once I've had the chance to get it detailed and clear bra.
