Need advise on this Supercharged CLS63 I found
I recall reading that the CLS63 engine had issues compared to that of the CLS55. Considering I've never owned both I will not comment. But that does make me error on the side of caution when looking at this CLS63 that the owner says has a renntech supercharger on it.

What are some things I should look for? The owner said he doesn't mind if I take the car to my mechanic before purchasing the car.
Opinions?
I should also note, that the engine appears to be missing the supercharger in his photos. But he assured me it has one.

CLS63
This was the comment I found on the CLS63's::: "M156 is prone to head bolt failures and even possible hydrolock all the way through the 2011 model year. That would be my first "mod" is to spend the 900 plus labor for getting some APR head bolts installed"

Car is waaaaaaaay over priced for the mileage!
Here in Canada, you can get a similar AMG from a dealer (which is better) for about $27k CAD which equals to about $23US.
Stay away bro...
