Crashed e55
Is this a good deal?

I’ve been in the market for an amg for the past 4 months after I wrecked my e55. I’ve been searching heavily on c63’s planning on buying a 2012-2014 eventually once I can pay it in full. But locally a 2009 c63 with 127k miles popped up for $13,000. “Nothing” is apparently wrong but I have a Star scanner so I can check if anything really is. I have the money for it and can do repairs myself, plan on doing a widebody build if I buy a c63.

To my question...... is it worth buying this car and saving $10k+ but with a pre facelift platform and obviously a bit higher in miles (doesn’t scare me)

I've seen plenty for sale and waiting for the correct year/mileage/options is key with this car imo

You trust your life to driving a 'fast car' with how many miles on it? Previous drivers? Previous care? I'd think about saving my money and find something with lower mileage. If it were me...

I feel you my guy. I drove a VIP-style LS400 for just over a year from when my E55 was totalled to getting a '13 P31 sedan. Picked it up from an MB dealer, CPO w/ factory warranty, 27k miles. I'm glad I waited for basically the best example. Many rare options!

It also took me about a year to find the perfect E55 7 years or however long ago, and I'm glad I found a nice Designo, 1 owner car. And I was driving a freaking Honda Accord at that time!
