C63 buying advice

[Mezger]

Hey Folks,

I'm very keen to pick up a C63 estate, I've seen this one, seems to be in good condition, given mileage.

What's a sensible value for this age and mileage?

That is very high mileage possibly 40k more than similar aged cars. If white is your color I would have the car inspected and offer £18,000 max.

That's very high mileage, just pay a bit more and get something more sensible mileage?

I have a 2013 44k mile fsh coupe and I still get problems with it.. not sure what they would throw at you bill wise but I;m sure it would be more and more often..

Problems? What sort of problems? I’ve had mine over 3 years and I’ve had no issues and find it no different to any other car I’ve owned

I'm Not saying it’s specialty is problems compared to other cars.

Engine mounts
Warm start rattle
Shaking on idle , can’t diagnose

Could be unlucky but just saying it’s serviced ever year and more and they are not “bullet proof to 200k’ because it’s a v8 like some people say.

Just had my A service including spark plugs.

Also, need a new AC condenser, £923 fitted by a specialist.

Has lasted since 2013, so not bad I suppose.

See above post.

Thanks all for the inputs, given it's a P30 would you reasonably expect the engine to handle the miles better?

In my case no it would of not of helped any of the faults (which are all common).

I would say keep looking I’ve seen better ones for good prices on the c63 amg Facebook page.
