FS: 2010, Updated Headbolts, SOLD

I am putting my 2010 up for sale. 108k miles. I am selling it because I am moving to Japan in the spring and can't take the car with me. The car was meticulously cared for with over $30,000 of receipts in hand for maintenance and mods. I love this car, and you can see that in the threads I made for it below:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w204/577557-45-hr-detail-me.html
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w204/631999-intake-manifold-gasket-pcv-valve-diy.html

Mods:
ARH catless LTHs w/X-Pipe
Eurocharged v6 tune
ROW airboxes w/Weistec filters
Wavetrac LSD with finned diff cover
Weistec billet pulleys
H&R springs w/17mm pads
Girodisc slotted front rotors
Porterfield R4S pads all around
Integrated Valentine 1 radar detector
15 mm/12 mm F/R spacers (stock bolts included to run without spacers)
RW carbon lip spoiler and diffuser
55tech 507 style grille
Rubber Mercedes all season floor mats included

Headbolts were done at 86k by HG Motorsports in San Diego. heads were removed, cleaned, and decked. Valve stem seals were replaced as well as the timing chain tensioners and lifters.

Recent maintenance done:
ESL replaced at 107k
Fuel pumps (both on the passenger side) replaced at 89k
Fuel injectors replaced at 100k

The bad (trying to be as forthcoming as possible):
-The front bumper was repainted due to a scrape in a parking lot. It wasn't cracked or anything, but the scuff went through the paint. No structural damage (see picture).
-Carbon trim: I had an "up and coming" carbon fiber wrapper do my trim. the resin shrank or something and now has some small fissures. it's hard to photograph. the fissures do not go down to the fabric, but the trim needs to be sanded and recoated with resin.
-the front sway bar end links need to be replaced. they creak a little when driving slow and turning.
-the paint was coated with Optimum Gloss Coat 3 years ago after a full correction, but that only lasted about a year. there are VERY light love marks/swirls. the paint could use a light correction, but it is still in very good condition, especially for a car with 108k. small chips and dings expected. The front bumper probably needs a respray honestly.
-the lower grille on the passenger side is cracked and needs replacing.
-front engine cover cracked and is gone (threw it away)

Location: Hanford, CA
Asking $21,500 OBO. PM me for contact info and more pics.

Sold. Hopefully I’ll be back when I get back from Japan in a few years. I loved that car and will miss it.

For $17k down in the Central Valley I'm positive that's exactly what happened. Probably a high-schooler no less...

Nah. I gave it to an enthusiast that had a 2009 C63 previously. He is very knowledgeable. He’s in SoCal. A high schooler in Fresno did try to buy it but 1) I would never sell it to a high schooler. I’d hate for a high schooler to kill a family while street racing, and 2) I scared his dad away buy saying “catless” and “doesn’t pass smog.”

yeah. They crush you if you have a “lixury vehicle over 100k miles” because buyers don’t like luxury cars above that. My giant binder full of maintenance records meant nothing. I’m so telieved it went to an enthusiast that could appreciate it.

The funny thing is, my girlfriend asked if I was ok. I said “you know how people that go through a breakup go on tinder and find hookups? I am on turo and autotrader” hahaha. Now I can’t stop looking at W212 E63S wagons! I’ll scratch my AMG itch again in a few years.

thanks man! The car is still in the SoCal lounge though. She went to a new owner in San Diego. I’ll let him chime in on ASL if he wants to (he’s a member already).
