My 4matic was very well maintained, still looked and drove like new when I sold it 5 years old with over 100,000 miles. I maintained it meticulously.

However, that maintenance included twice removing and re-sealing the transfer case, back then it was (only) $3500 each time.

Maintenance isn't the only issue.

Cool system, but not cheap to keep IMO.
