Tips for buying used c63 coupe - Australia

Hi guys,

Looking to purchase a used c63, year 2012 and up. Stepping up from 370z to c63, the lack of back seats has finally gotten to me!

Wondering if there any specifics to a c63 I should be on the lookout for that might indicate abuse / bad maintenace?

Found one on carsales for A$69k, seller describes it as 380kw, 0-100 in 4.2s which is noticibly higher than the standard but with no mention to any modifications, does that seem suspicious?

The standard model has 336 KW and with Performance Package it's 358 KW. Post or PM me the link and I'll have a quick look if you like.

I suspect he has simply made up the 380kw. Ask him where he got the 380kw from. Description says older driver and no thrashing but he has put on after market wheels of questionable taste - does not quite add up. Ad says odler driver but not one owner so maybe it was thrashed and modded before the current owner - full history as always is required. Being 2012 you have the revised engine componetry meaning no headbolt issues. Otherwise just the usal of everything electronic workinmg 100% and full service history. See if he has the original wheels and get full specs on the wheels and tyres on it.

Yeh thought so, emailed the guy yesterday and no response yet.

What would be a decent price for a 2012 model with performance package / 19 inch wheels with around 50k kms?

There may be something dodgy going on. When you put the rego into the QLD rego check website , it comes up with a 1995 ISUZU FSR DUAL CAB

Just did some more digging. It's sounding even more dodgy.
When I googled the rego and 'for sale' I came across a cached verison of the ad from Novemeber. He advertised it as "Black Series" and it was $82,000
Tread carefully.
