Deciphering a C63's History

Hi All,

New to the forum and hopefully a soon to be owner of a c63. I am taking a look at an 2009 C63 with ~25k miles; however, upon looking at the the CARFAX it would appear that the car has had numerous run in with repairs, most notably:

"Maintenance inspection completed
Transmission removed to complete repair
Cylinder head gasket(s) replaced
Engine checked
Engine removed to complete repair
Washed/detailed
Oil and filter changed
Engine timing/front cover gasket replaced
Battery/charging system checked
Brakes checked
Tire condition and pressure checked"

Here is a link to the full carfax:

I am assuming that this is related to the infamous faulty head bolts. Would love to get some opinions on whether this is a good thing thats its already been addressed/repaired, or if i should just turn and run.

Thanks all

Why dont you ask that Benz Dealer if it is in fact the headbolts that were replaced.

In which case, thats a GOOD thing

dealer won't bother telling you anything or replying to your messages unless you are a soon to be service customer. These repairs don't sound like headbolts to me. contact mbusa with the vin and ask them. that's what I did.
