Exclamation 2012 CLSS63 rear wheels vibration, noise on slow speeds, turning

Thinking of buying a 2012 CLS63. Went to see one yesterday locally. It was a beautiful car but while driving I there was a vibration, noise from what at that seemed like rear wheels on slow speeds, turning. When I punched it straight it was good. Its a 2012 so obviously its not a 4matic. Any ideas what it could be?
I thinking of taking it for PPI at a dealership but just want to educate myself if this is a common issue? Is it a messed up differential? The car does have LSD.

A bent wheel would produce vibrations while driving. A PPI would definitely be the way to go.

Its not a bent wheel. If i am turning right, the right rear wheel will make noise, vibrate and spin while accelerating from stop very slowly. They said they will find out what it is and fix it. I know they will do a temporary job if its an expensive fix.

Do you have access to a different, independent MB shop? Versus the dealer? Good luck with it.
