maybe_2011C63

Hi guys, I'm on the fence about buying a used 2011 C63. This car has the updated head bolts, engine build was 62300ish. It has 37000 miles and is really clean. Its being sold my a big MB dealership in my area and i have no doubt they did a good job servicing the car, look good as a CPO. But...

-no warranty, sold as is. how reliable is the updated M156 and 7speed auto?
-is fuel economy that bad? can this be a daily driver?

I test drove the car and fell in love with the engine . the sound, the speed was addicting!! Never ever driven anything like this before. My heart want this car but my mind says no. Is my mind wrong guys?

It's reliable you shouldnt have a problem. That being said I have 2011 loaded with PP around 20k miles and warranty I'm getting ready to sell if you're interested PM.

If a MB dealer is selling a 2011 MB with 37K on the ticker and it's not CPO, there is a reason. Find another. In the words of the immortal Ninge Umboko, "there's plenty you know."

I agree with HBC350, there are tons on the market atm, just look around and I'm sure you will find one with the options you are looking for. Also check to see if the dealership will throw in a warranty for the one you are looking at. No need to rush into buying when there are way better deals/offers out there where you don't have to think twice about.

Also mine is a daily driver. The mpg of the C63 depends on how you drive it honestly. You can get 20-23 mpg driving purely in C mode. It also ranges depending on if you drive more city or highway miles. I drive 90% city/street, mostly in M mode and range between 14-17 mpg. Though when you first get the car, you will range about 4-8 mpg, those first couple of tanks go quick lol.

I drive mine daily. I have a 64 mile daily commute and put 10k miles in less then 5 months and I am averaging 17.1 mpg and 75% of my driving is highway but i don't exactly just cruise in it so I would say the MPG is not bad at all.

I would definitely get a MY2012 or newer and there is some very good deals out there on these cars.

Personally, I would take it to an independent shop. The car might've been a trade-in, and not even serviced at them.

Thing is, maybe i'm a little paranoid, but I'm curious as to why they didn't CPO a 2011. If it's in such a good shape, they would "CPO" it, and be able to sell it for more than a Non-CPO, so, that right there to me, is a bit of a red flag.

Of course, I could just be over thinking, but, it never hurts to bring it down to a respected independent Mercedes Specialist, to have them go over it and everything.
