A car i test drove tonight.

Hello! I am completely new to MB's but have always wanted a MB with the legendary 6.2/.3L V8! I saw one pop up local to me and test drove it tonight!
I was just curious if any expirenced folk could tell me if this is a good deal bad deal or average? price seems high but the car was very clean. I'm new in this area and don't know any mechanics or shops to have the car looked at. the dealership seems very reputable.
Any information or stuff to look out for would be greatly appriciated!
Thank you for your time.

P.S- The only rule thread I saw seemed to be for the marketplace, I dont think i'm posting in the marketplace if I made a mistake or broke a rule I am sorry!

Check if your C63 falls in the "head bolt" problem range..eng #60658 and before I believe. Pre face lift cars also may be in the valve train wear problem range. Not a deal killer but nice to know if an Extended Warranty would be a good idea. Price given is what most Dealers ask for that year/mileage..$21-$23K is what i see here in the SE.

much depends on how the previous owner used the car. if you know anyone with an AMG you should take them with you on the test drive

That C63 will have the headbolts issue; a pricey repair.

It also has had an accident last month, and then it went up for sale. I think that's a bit suspicious.

It also doesn't have LSD or any special packages, so I would keep looking around. LSD is especially important if you plan to "put the power down."

Thanks for the info! I questioned them about that accident to the rear and he kind of gave a run around. Sounds like I should keep shopping around!
