I'm currently in the market for a 2016 C63 wagon, but approved used vehicles are understandably raising the budget somewhat.

You could get a 2016 from an independent dealer for £36-37k, whereas approved used is largely £40k onwards.

Is the approved used warranty still 2 years for AMGs? I've been struggling to find authoritative information saying it is anything more than 12 months (which means you might as well buy from an indy and privately shell out for extended warranty, no?).

Just wondered what the general consensus was as I've not seen much material suggesting a warranty on the W205 C63 is a must-have.

Hi there.

Last week I bought a c63 from Mercedes Guildford and I can confirm it comes with a two year AMG warranty. The car is on a 66 plate.

Good luck with your search and I hope you find your dream car soon.

James.

Yes all AMG from main dealers are sold with 2 years warranty. What I don’t know is whether there is an age limit but I suppose if there was, the main dealer wouldn’t retail the older car in the first place...

Good luck!

Cheers. Good to know, I think I'll stick with seeking an approved used one for the 2 years of peace of mind.

No age limit.

Max 100k miles.

Renewal cost £ doubles after 60k miles.

I brought a 2013 C63 from a MB dealer in 2017, came with a 2 year warranty. A warranty from an ideprndant will not be worth the paper it’s printed on👍 Trust me👌
Buy from a MB dealer, get it serviced there each year or when due, you will get 12 months break down cover each time when servicved with them👍
In my opion, a car like this, worth dealer purchase & warranty, yes, do it👍
