Good and bads?

I´m trying to convince a friend to buy the C 63. What are the goods and bads about the car and what kind of deal should he be looking for? How much for a fully loaded c 63?
I got my c 350 before the c 63 came out.. I have been super happy, it is an amazing car and i´m sure the c 63 even better.

like weather strips, problems with PP, the check engine marathon...I'm sure there are more for cars that have 50 - 3000 miles on them it's unacceptable...and I do understand that it's a first year car but the CEL problems are getting crazy...this is my opinion...I'm not speaking for all C63 owners...but my situation is frustrating...I just hope all the bugs get worked out...

Umm didn't know that. Have you talked to many others with the same or similar types of problems? Iv only been hearing how much guys love the car. Im sure there are some issues but you do have ot take it with a grain of salt. Being first year.
