Somehow, I imagine a world where Tavarish ends up getting this job and 6-year/66,000-mile warranties on a 6 year old S63 AMG ends up being $600. Luxury German saloons would actually end up being as cheap as he always says they are, and America would be introduced to a new Golden Age of speed (until CarMax declares…
