First post. 1st AMG purchase
New to the board. After months of searching I finally found what suited me best budget and performance wise. I test drove a c63 and fell for that immediately and ultimately ended up with a coupe.
2012 c63 p31 with weistec headers/x-pipe/tune. White w/ black interior. 2 owner. Clean Carfax. Multimedia package, development package (p31), Harmon kardon, pano roof.
Anybody recommend anything I should check for based on this cars year and mileage? From what I researched they’re pretty reliable and bullet proof so any other input would be much appreciated. Thanks

You never mentioned the millage... But the facelift cars (2012-2015) are generally regarded my most to be pretty bulletproof and reliable. Plus MTC is nice.
Welcome though, I'm sure you've been having a blast in your new beast!
Any pics?

Congrats on the purchase! Definitely looking forward to the pics. To answer your question, definitely make sure the trans fluid has been changed and if you have an LSD make sure that fluid has been changed as well. Goes without saying, but check the oil, and brake fluid to see if they need to be changed.

The front bushing might be getting close. I had to replace the front shocks around then too.
Lots of little things might go (fuel sender, ESP chip, vacuum hose, engine gasket (all 156's need an updated engine gasket at some point if you want peak HP), etc. Don't worry too much though, just drive the car and fix these nuisances as they come up.

thanks, yea planning and getting all checked out within the first week. And here are some pics of how it looks now. Changing the wheels back to stock since the previous owner still had them. Not my taste. And they will be up for sale as of tomorrow if anyone is interested.
I'd be interested in the details on those wheels?
