It’s seems to be in immaculate and is fairly optioned out, is this car worth buying? They will deliver it to me and if I don’t like it after 7 days they pick it up and I don’t lose a penny

buying anything unseen bothers me... a few friends did carvana... both said car was filthy and showed up with previous owners garbage still littered through the car....

WreckMyE55

The only reason it doesn’t bother me is because they give you 7 days / 400 miles to decide if you want it or not. If you don’t they come with their truck and take it away. If I decide I want it, they start the payment processing.

im more interested in everyone’s opinion of the vehicle

Fair Enough.... unfortunately i dont know a lot about the C63's

Or you could buy this gorgeous one from a fellow forum member. Better price, better color, better options.

It’s very hard for me to find financing, Carvana offers it for me as I have good credit but am self employed

If it was me I would hold out for a car with at least the lighting package. Although its a p31 which is great, it looks like its missing other options. Does it have LSD? must have on these cars IMO. I would hold out, just my advice.

WreckMyE55

What comes with the lighting package? I’m not sure if it has LSD but it’s very low miles and has at least some packages.

hookah

The lighting package gives you Xenon projector headlights with adaptive lighting and LED turn signals.I think it makes a big difference. Also some cars had illuminated AMG door sills if it was optioned. Other options were carbon interior trim, parking sensors, keyless start, and the LSD.

hookah

I just searched the VIN. Doesn't look like its equipped with LSD.

WreckMyE55

I may get it and put headers, LSD, and flex fuel kit, and a tune of course. I’m going to see this white one locally later today, if they can finance for me I’ll buy it for $27,000 it has 76k miles. Has the lighting, carbon interior, and I believe keyless go as well.

I bought mine from Carvana almost 2 years ago. It had P31, Active Lighting and LSD from checking the VIN, so I was good with it. I scheduled the delivery date to coordinate with my local MB dealership for a Pre-Purchase Inspection. They uncovered a few minor issues that Carvana readily covered and fixed pretty quickly. I even got them to extend the test drive period since the car was at the dealership for a few days waiting for parts (valve cover gasket and a busted hood release cable). The car was vacuumed inside but still kinda grimey, especially the Alcantara steering wheel. Some people have pushed for credit to cover detailing costs, but I didn't bother since I wanted to do it myself anyway.

BalanBro

BTW, the 7 day trial period really puts the ball in your court. They really don't want to have to take the car back and eat all of the associated costs, so it's easy to get them to bend over backwards for you in that time frame.

All that said, I'd go for the one posted above being sold by a Forum member. That's a solid, well equipped car at a great price. I can appreciate your financing situation though.

WreckMyE55

I’m a detailer so I don’t mind it being a bit dirty, I don’t have any way to get financing for that vehicle. Any recommendations on where to go for financing for cash income?

BalanBro

I don't, unfortunately. I supposed you can try a credit union, but the problem is that older cars (6+ years) can be challenging to get a loan for since they are considered higher risk (out of warranty and more likely to need repairs).

WreckMyE55

Well I’m going to check out this car in about 2 hours, it’s white but I noticed a gap on the passenger headlight & hood. If it doesn’t seem right I’m just going to buy the one on Carvana

If you do end up getting the Carvana one, here's the VIN decode of it:

WreckMyE55

Thanks for that! I found one listed last night near me and spoke with Mercedes Benz dealer it is highly optioned out and they want $31k and it has 48k miles. They’re sending me over pictures, if they can’t finance for me I’ll just be buying an f-250 on carvana instead. I’ve been looking at the 2017’s and they’re amazing 🤔

curt.r

No problem.

Got a VIN number? I can run the build sheet for it if you want. I don't trust dealers when they say it's "highly optioned". Every dealer I went to while I was shopping for my W222 was apparently "highly optioned"... even the base model ones were "highly optioned"

i searched it up on google and a site came up with its options, figured it was right but give it a shot and let me know

curt.r

I typically use vindecoderz . com or lastvin . com (previously known as datamb . com )

Idk I do not trust the buying unseen. I did it once and it turned out to be a huge mistake.

Carfax looks good. Regularly schedule maintenance. Car itself looks clean. It has the alcantara steering wheel and red calipers which state it has the P31 package. Mileage is relatively low for a car of thos many years. I'd say worse case, you might need to flush ALL the fluids. All of them to baseliane the car. You might need an intake gasket since this is a common ailment.

I'd say go for it.
