About to purchase a 2021 AMG C43 coupe. Help with questions?

Greetings, I am test driving a 2021 AMG C43 coupe on Saturday. Currently, I have a CLA 250 (2022) and looking to trade in. The AMG has 18k miles and is priced at 45k. My question is there anything I need to look for when test driving? The car has a clean Carfax report and one owner. Being sold by Mercedes as well. Should I purchase an extended warranty on this vehicle? Would this be a good upgrade from what I am currently driving. I want to add a wheel and tire package to it. Install tint, audio system and have the brake calipers painted red.

18K on a 2021? That's miles I assume. That certainly isn't many miles at all. I have a 2021 C43 Wagon that I purchased new and it now has 49K km (30K miles) and I think that's not all that many.

The one you are looking at t is sold by Mercedes, is it a Certified Pre-Owned? I believe there is a warranty that comes with that. At any rate, if you are able, I would purchase the extended warranty. There are so many electronics on these things, as you probably know from your current ride, and if these go wrong it's big bucks to fix.

Mine is stock with no mods, stock is good enough for me. I really like this car, probably the best car I've ever owned.

Low mileage, that's great! Yes, I have a warranty on my 2019. I haven't had to use it *knock on wood*, but with how expensive repairs can be and the amount of electronic components in these cars better safe than sorry for me. I would definitely get the wheel/tire protection. The rims on these things are prone to cracking. I'm up to 3 times and now about to purchase a set of forged wheels because I'm fed up. But overall I love this car, one of my favorites that I've owned out of quite a few sports cars. Good luck!

It has that and it is fully loaded. MSRP was 72k. Drivers assistance package, nighttime AMG package and AMG trim. It’s fully loaded and I test drive tomorrow.
