Buying a CPO C63 Tomorrow-what to look out for?
Any suggestions on what to inspect or be aware of?
It has huge wheels on it that will be sold or traded off. Not sure what to think that may mean regarding how it was driven in the past.
How does a buyer know that the car is certified? This is at MB dealer. Is there paperwork that affirms the certification? As of 3pm today, my local MB dealer (not who has the car) showed the vin as not belonging to a certified car. Should I be worried?

Yes, it is the Mercedes dealer network's certified pre-owned status. It implies an inspection was done, the condition meets a high standard and an extended warranty comes with the car.

Make sure to run a paint meter on the car. Clean carfax doesn't mean anything. The car might have involved in an unreported accident before. And yes, dealerships CPO cars with paintwork on them without telling you. Be careful.
