I'm going to be purchasing my first AMG soon.
I found a 2008 model with 100k miles (asking price 19k), I've seen the car and checked everything. There doesn't seem to be any issues with it, it's been owned by an enthusiast. He has records from the day he bought it.
Any opinions?
How are high mileage AMG's, is the risk to high? The car has been 85% highway miles. Shows no signs of the dreaded head bolt issue.
Anyone else with high mileage C63' 's?

Plenty of high mile c63's around.

No signs of the headbolt issue means nothing. Any sign of the headbolt issue means a bolt is broken. It's a matter of WHEN, not IF. Still not a bad price. Just budget $3k or so to fix it before a headbolt goes.

mine has 113k miles and it would take more than $19k to take it off my hands. LOL

This. Just know that you will have to dish the cash to update the headbolts. If you're okay with that, I say go for it.

Since it's a MY 2008 -assuming the production year is 2007-
The camshafts (intake to be specific), adjusters and valve buckets might get noisy and need replacing so keep that in mind, In addition to the headbolts.

Good luck.

Fyi - the w204 c63 was not released until March - April 2008 for U.S. sales.
