Looking to buy this C63. Please look and advise, Thanks!
Gents, hello and good to see you all again. I've been gone for a couple years, but as promised, I hath returned. I am looking to pick up this C63 and want your advice. I haven't done extensive research on the C63 so just a couple questions.
1. Anything mechanical that I should be worried about with that particular year?
2. The price looks very low to me for the mileage. Anyone can fathom a reason for that, barring a salvage title?
3. The description doesn't list bi-xenon headlights in the features, but one of the pics looks like it's showing xenons, so... is that a different feature?
I'm going to test drive it later-on today and if it checks out, I'm going to pull the trigger probably by Wednesday.
Talk me in our out of it, brethren!

my wife bananas! :D
looks good here as well... but a test drive will definitely help determine if there is anything with the car. Look at the paint and tires as well when you get there.
Also, if it works out well... pull that trigger before someone else here who is lurking buys it before you do. (we have seen it here before

Just got the carfax. Looks like it was a dealer buyback for a stereo issue back in 2009. Guy says it's fixed and the car is still under factory warranty, but I'm not sold.
Anyone know if there's a way to get the service history on a vehicle so I can see if it has other mechanical issues?

reasons why its so cheap:
1) being sold by a non mb dealer
2) being sold as a non -cpo
3) Assuming, since its an 09, that the in-service date started in mid - late 2008. That means out of warranty as speak.
4) low options on the car.
You can buy third party warranty but not an extended MB warranty, despite the low miles.
If possible, you can take the car to a MB dealer and have it checked (might cost $200) or so. Otherwise, take the VIN to your service advisor at the MB dealership and he'll run the VIN for you and let you know about the car.

Car is equipped with P2/iPod integration/AMG Leather Pkg/Multimedia/Teleaid/Aluminium Trim. Originally a CA car. ISD is 6/20/09. It is flagged as a buyback in Netstar. Warranty looks to be in tact but I would check with your local MB dealership.
