C63 faults
Hello, I'd like to know about the faults of C63 2009 because I saw a car with 175k km mileage so I dont wanna be fooled and buy the car and then spend my money on maintaining it

What do you mean by maintaining it? If maintained properly all cars are going to cost money. Yes there is an AMG tax. Are you a DIY type of person or do you rely on a shop to do all automotive work down to oil changes?
***If head bolts have not yet been updated on the car, they will require replacement sooner or later (cost $1500-5000 depending on your location and shop)
***Depending on how many miles you drive a year, rear tires will require replacement 1-2 times a year (Go with Michelin for their mileage warranty. saves $$$$) Up front cost $500-600 for just the rears. Roughly $350-400 a year if you go through 2 sets
*** Oil changes if you do it yourself are going to average $75 or so each time. Oil change interval you should do by 8k miles
**ESL (Steering wheel lock) will go out if it hasn't already. This was my most expnsive bill during my ownership. Cost me $800 for labor and part (Dealerships charge $2k-3k for this repair. Doesn't effect 2012+
****Misc repairs will start to happen depending on how the car was maintained. Ball joints, bushings, blower fan $120 online, thermostat ($100 online)
This my experience owning a 2008 c63 from 87k -117k miles

I know you want a c63
but let’s be honest... anyone looking should go 12’ or newer..
i wouldn’t want to drive around everyday maybe having to come out thousands of dollars when
I could have just put more money down on the car and have close to the same payment with a nicer
interior and personally enjoy the look of the exterior much more.
just my 2 cents and easier to get a loan on a newer car

I would change them to be safe. It's an AMG so things are more expensive.
