You can't even check out the car in person? Buy from pictures alone? You're joking, right.

I wish I was One thing I forgot to mention - the car has official Mercedes-Benz CPO warranty until May 2015, what I can also extent. I really doubt Mercedes would have given this car the warranty if the repair was done badly...

rene_gts

Can anyone here read German? I also attached documents from the repair bill, maybe someone can give a brief overview what major parts were replaced?

CarHopper

Bet the CPO was a thing before the car took all this damage. Because, you know, that warraty is up in 7 days.

As for hiding damage from a next owner, not losing value there, and being a shady person then this is the car for you! Buy it.

rene_gts

I'm not shady. I'm saying I could do that, but it would be unfair and to be honest I'm not even thinking about selling this car if I can pull the trigger. I've been daydreaming way too much about the C63 and I really need my own baby even if it has been damaged, I really don't care so much, because I really hope the car was fixed well

CarHopper

As long as you plan on owning it a good long while it wont be bad, because with damage like that the value is going to plummet.

QWKSNKE

Nope. Damage has to exceed 75% of value for a car to be totaled.

Went through this with my wife's convertible a few years back when it was hit. Damage was at 55-60% of the value of the car. Insurance would not total it

Keep in mind, whatever the cost of damage that is declared may not be the actual cost that was paid. Even with a legit looking receipt, maybe it was fixed by some random shop and the dealership is making it seem they fixed it. I do not trust dealerships as I've had bad experiences in the past.

Buying a car without test driving or let alone looking at it in person is probably the stupidest thing anyone can do. Sure, it may look good, but once you're driving and the alignment is way off, you'll be regretting it.

Sounds like the OP came here for us to convince him to buy it. Numerous posts in this thread point to the recommendation of not buying it, but it seems he's already made the decision before creating this thread lol.

rene_gts

Haha, I haven't made the decision yet, but yeah... I really want a C63 and that's the only one in the right price range I can find at the moment and I'm kind a in a rush because I've found a buyer for my 2014 E-Class and if I don't act fast enough I might loose the buyer and that means I can't make the switch to the C63...

BLKROKT

Ok, great, just buy the car.

Troll feeding over

Agreed lol

solekeeper

it's all cosmetic. relax.

It seems nothing said here will discourage the purchase so whittle the seller down and buy it.

Just out of curiosity the most expensive parts were the rear fender (1700), both headlights (970), paint (1000 - discounted maybe?), tail light, front rims (600), fenders/door panels (500+), bumper (600), a bunch of other door stuff, all four tires, etc.

So the repair does seem to match the pictures in that was a lot of EXPENSIVE cosmetic damage. Personally I would pass, way too many clean C63s to bother with a fixed up one. It's a mass produced car, not a 250 GTO.

Not bad on the fix job...

We marry women with fake ***** and we have an issue with some body work?

odonnks

In most cases the fake ***** come after the marriage, but I digress.....
