Potential C63 buyer
Hey guys
Long time member, started with a W210 E55 and then a W211 E63. Loved both cars, been sans a MB for a yr or so and what to get back into them.
Wifey saw a 2010 C63 and loved it. SOOO.... started shopping for one. I found a 2009, 49K miles, P31 Perf Package. Looks to be a pretty nice car overall. How rare are P30 package cars?
What would you guys say is a fair price for this? I see them all over the net for 37-42k (mileage dependant). And I am not seeing ANY P31 perf package cars anywhere...
I do see the head bolt issue. Anything else to worry about in these cars?
Opinions most appreciated guys!

That one should sell around 40k$.
Make sure to purchase an extended warranty as well for piece of mind. The headbolt problem is quite expensive to repair but not as frequent as you would think. Very few cars have been affected.
I would double check this car has the P31 (2pc rotors, LSD, alcantara steering wheel, ECU tune)...hmm... Was it P30 for 09 MY? P31 is from 10 onward if I'm not wrong? Anyhow check it.
Then you would want to drive test it, see the service history, check brakes/ tires... you know the basic when you buy a used car

^^ thanks for the info! 40k seems a tad high for what I've been seeing for sale on autotrader or cars.com. Does the P30 package up the value that much?
And yes, it's a p30 for 09. Aka performance package.
'10 and newer went to P31, development package. Lot more goodies ...
Unfortunately, the car is 500 mi away from me so I can't just inspect it. Will need to have a dealer do a PPI.
Any other items I should look out for?
Also, this car is steel gray on Blk. Not my ideal first choice, I wanted Blk or white. But we'll see. Is that color rare? I barely seen any for sale.

With the new C around the corner performance package won't make a difference in the price IMO. It will be all about mileage i guess.
You could get < 40K$ for higher mileage cars. Color wise I think black and white are quite common. Maybe not that much for sale at this time
