Hello Forums folks, I've been contemplating a C63 as a replacement for my 03 Cl55K for a while now, and its recently broke 140k miles, and I figure its time for her to rest and for me to get an upgrade. I've found some potential ones, and I've test driven one and I really like the feel. Here in Jersey they're running bout 30-35 for an 09-10 model with no PP. Are they worth it? I love the feel of the C63, but I am VERY much aware of the headbolt problems, but is there anything else I should be ware of?

Just headbolts which are still a maybe. Pretty reliable cars

Thanks for your reply good sir, the one I'm looking at now has some Weistec goodies on it, trying to see if had headbolts done, but I'm iffy because it was curbed and towed earlier in its life. Still weighing my options.

That's one thing I would avoid, accidents. Most cars are fine after accidents, however, you don't want the one that is off by the smallest amounts that causes a small vibration here, squeak there, expedites wear, etc.

Don't buy a car for it's aftermarket stuff either. Weistec goodies as in a tune? That is an easy upgrade. S/C is a different story... Buy it for the skeleton and if you find a good, clean, accident free car then you should be fine

Yep just tune from what I can tell so far, but your advice on the accidents is very much appreciated and I am keeping in mind, If the dealer is willing to drop a good buck after what I presented them today, them I might go for it, however, if not then I'll just continue searching, one will turn up eventually .
