I need to know what to look for?!

I am looking into buying a C63 sedan 2012- 2015. I am a Mechanic and Welder at a mom and pop shop in Illinois. At my last shop my boss had a CL55 (the cleanest one ive seen in the world, and he daily drove it! anyways) so i worked on a lot of 55 AMG cars. But never really got to work on 63 AMG cars.

So what should I look for?
What ideal mileage should i get it in?
What should i watch out for?
Whats a good price?
What should I stay away from?

Im looking into just leisure driving it. weekends and summer daily to work (2 miles away)
I appreciate any help and sorry if this has been answered I searched but didnt find much.

You don't have to worry about headbolts so I'd just check for tire wear and brake wear. That would let you know if you had to spend money right away. Other than that, check for any collision evidence and run a carfax. Check for transmission slip and suspension noise, vibrations. I went through a state credit union because they offer a great warranty. I got a 5 year 75,000 (additional mile) warranty that covers everything with only $250 deductible. They just added $2000 to my finance total.
