Need a few pointers please...
What's up guys I'm new here been lurking for a bit now researching before I buy my c63. The car I'm going to look at isn't in the affected group for the headbolt issue. I'm driving about 4 hours to look at this car and I'm looking for any type of pointers and stuff to look for tomorrow when I go there. Thank you guys again for all the great information I've already got on the forums. The car is a 2011 with 32k miles clean history and was a leased car.

I've looked through some of that stuff. Just seeing if anyone else had some input when they were buying used. Anyone have experience with the LSD and without? The car I'm going to look at doesn't have the LSD.

There is no other input than what is in there.
Here's another tip. Search: "LSD"

LSD is practically a must-have. You can install a Quaife or Wavetrac afterwards, but it'll cost you around $2k.

lol I'm trying to do the best I can searching. I've been looking through a lot. If I like the car tomorrow whatever I'll install the LSD after a bit. Any front end issues to worry about? Haven't seen many issues? Now if I'm wrong with this question it's 3 strikes and I'm out

You guys are clowns that troll all day posting in people's threads saying search. I just looked through more and both of you are in there. This is what forums are for, too bad. Grow up and help new members out instead of being a troll. YOU WERE IN MY POSITION ONE DAY.

Yes, once upon a time we were all in the market for a C63. However, unlike you, our reading comprehension skills are quite good. So we didn't ask stupid repetitive questions because we searched the forum first and found most of the answers there.
Good luck with everything. Idiot.

BLKROKT is the same. He found a way to make adjustable sway bar endlinks. He's wrapping his dash. He's cut up his bumper for brake ducts. BLK and I are not the same as you.

Yeah you guys are typical forum trolls that have nothing better to do with ur time then this. Go complain in someone else's thread you guys can go wrap ur dashboard together since you guys ride eachother's dicks in every thread a new person asks questions.

I wouldn't let the car not having a limited slip stop you from buying.
if the car drives good and checks out go for it.bring a scan tool with you and see if all monitors are ready and if it has any codes stored and check the brakes out.they could be 2k to replace rotors and pads so keep that in mind also.
32k miles might still be on original pads and rotors

I agree on the LSD, it is not necessary unless u plan on tracking the car. I don't have LSD in mine & never felt the need to have it. It's good u are aware of the headbolts issue & picked a car out of that range.
The C63 is built solid, again like skratch posted, keep a close look on wear & tear items like brakes, tires, belts & such.
Enjoy the car & the forum!

First helpful tip in this thread. Others should take it easy with newbies. This forum is becoming dead for this reason. Older members have moved on to other toys so newer members are arriving, just try to help newcomers rather than tell then being hostile all the time. Seriously.

Yeah, find a different car. Plenty of affordable c63's out there and you listed off quite a few things that are wrong with it. With that low of miles to have so many cosmetic issues the car wasn't cared for.
You may think that the cosmetic stuff doesn't bother you much now, and trust me I know what it is like buying a car and wanting to just get in it and go. But I'll bet you can find another one, that is much cleaner, for just a little bit more.
