2009 C63 - thoughts?
so been bouncing around the idea of possibly joining the C63 club.
unfortunately at the current time i do not have the funds to purchase a 2012+ without the head bolt issue.
the one i am currently and have been looking at for a few months now still seems to be on the market.

summary:
2009 C63 - 149,200KM (not miles)
Listing price: $25,995 CAD = $29,374.35 after tax (CAD)
i did create a thread on this a few months ago, so some of you may recall or may not but thought i'd start a fresh thread (sorry if that's looked down upon).
i did test drive it, there were a few issues:
1) a/c was intermittent
2) P0300 - random misfire detected
3) P0171 - system too learn (bank 1)
4) sunroof switch broken
so my questions are:
1) what do you guys think of the price, fair value for this vintage and mileage?
2) i know from another thread many people use their C63's as their DD's. for those that are 150,000km+, any issues, comments or concerns?
3) the fact there are 2 codes and cosmetic damages (more than i listed), makes me think it potentially wasn't well taken care of. thoughts?
thanks again.
sorry for the long post.

C63 AMG, P30
Like $19k, USD? Buy it.
Remember though -- ownership of this car really comes into play when something brakes.
$19k is the price of a used Toyota Camry. But, as you can imagine, parts and labor are far, far more expensive that that of a Toyota's.

Buy this one and have them ship it to you from Vancouver. It used to be mine, and while it does have some claims on it there was never anything structural and repairs were done by a very good shop. Car is (Or at least, was) in very good shape. It has two piece rotors all around, and a lot of custom bits like a CF/alcantara wheel with worth 2 grand. P30 performance package, H&R springs, full carbon interior, back seat climate pack and rear window roller. It has 88k on it. Runs like a top.

If you can't afford this one, probably time to look at Mustangs.
