Finally picked it up

So I finally picked up a '09 C63 in pristine condition from a relative. I'm enjoying the car so far despite it's thirst for unleaded premium!
Can anyone recommend an indy shop in NY to do suspension work? Either installing springs or a coil over kit. Thanks!

I attached some fuzzy cell phone pics. Enjoy!

I'm planning on getting the MB ELW, likely the 3 year 75k miles.

Yes, garage queen but hopefully no longer!

Have great labor day weekend everone.

Wow, 2009 with 3K miles.. I thought I was low with my 2010 with 5700km. Lol

Congrats, she is good as new! I'm also planning to buy the MB Extended 3years Warranty.. This head bolt issue is really taking away our peace of mind... Especially for owners with low mileage.

Thanks Roswell! Yes, smells like it just came from the dealer. I was told that no one ever sat in the back seats!

I got quoted $3499 for the 3 year/75k mile coverage over the phone. I'm planning on going to the dealer to negotiate and see what they can do. Will let you know the outcome when it happens.

Thanks KES16, it sure is a blast to drive.

Izzy, will do. Should be getting this done in the next week or two when the factory warranty is near its end.

Nice grab. Congrats and enjoy!

be sure to do it before the title transfers over. i believe only the original owner can buy the ELW.

As far as I'm aware, it doesn't matter who you are so long as you are the *current* owner (or, about to be the current owner).

Congrats however due to the fact it's an 09 I suggest a full fluid change since its been sitting for so long. Chronologically it's due for a diff, tranny, brake, and engine oil change. Just my .2$ congrats tho she's a beauty

thanks for the info GrnLantern. I hope that will be the case!

Mikeg, service has been done regularly on the car despite the low mileage. The previous owner was quite meticulous abt the servicing but I will check to make sure the things you mentioned were taken care of! Thanks!

I'm trying to post some higher quality pics but the "attach file" has a file size limit.
