W204- C63
Finally purchased my dream car, well one of them!

Well its been a long road, but I finally got back into a Germany car. This past Saturday, I just purchased one of my dream cars a 2012 C63 Coupe from Taggart Exotics here in Cary, NC. Couldn't be happier with my exerince working with their truley professional team there. I do have a few questions if someone can point me in the right direction.


-DIY guide to anything and everything the from oil change to pulling the motor. I'd like to think I can still work on most of the simple services.


- Recommendations for parts to purchase right away or wait, current mileage is 53K. No service history provided, off the top I would assue oil, filter, and plugs.


- Recommend site/local shops in Raleigh, NC for parts. Always looking for the best prices.


I added my vin for decoding, looking foward to finding out as much as possible about my car.


Thank you guys!

It is recommended that first you make an effort to search and Dig In Yourself (DIY) before you ask for more detailed info.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your coupe.

Welcome to the forums. Congrats on the new car.
Please post pictures.
If you follow links in the stickies, and do some searching on these forums you will find quite a few DIY threads.

Welcome and gorgeous ride!

I lived in Raleigh for a while and took my car to the guys at The Foreign Service Inc, located off Glenwood Ave. Very knowledgeable and honest - great for maintenance and suck.
