Don't Buy This C63 Sight Unseen
Heads up for anyone who was thinking about purchasing this C63 sight unseen.
The sales guy described the vehicle condition as "brand new" but after a 2.5hr drive it was anything but that. While he was a nice guy the paint on this car was terrible 3/10. It looked like the rear doors had been sandblasted and the hood/bumper was pretty bad too. It was bad enough that I got out of the car looked at it for maybe 3 minutes and got back in my car to leave.
Just trying to save anyone some time who was potentially thinking about the car.

That is actually a scary CarFax report. First reported mileage was 8,xxx miles? Where is the first owner? When is the warranty start date?
I would avoid this one too .. I'm pretty sure it's a salvage vehicle. They wouldn't provide the CarFAX report to me, and I googled the VIN, and it came back with a link to a salvage site (this was about 2 months ago).

The vehicle has all the right options but one thing is for sure it's lived a very hard life. At the very least this thing has 8k miles of burnouts or track use from the looks of the rear door panels. Price I had negotiated was 55k w/CPO for anyone who wants to pursue it. Another weird thing is they didn't advertise it as CPO but I was able to negotiate that into the deal by email before I looked at it.

It was probably driven by the owner of the dealership, who just used dealer plates and never actually registered it. Happens all the time actually.

Interesting...I had seen this on cars.com and thought it was a nice package - especially with all those options. You just never know what you're going to get...
