Best sources to shop for a C63
I used to own a 2009 C63 and I loved it (but I sold it a long time ago)
I am interested in getting a C63 again… probably one of the later W204’s or *maybe* looking at some of the newer models.
I’m wary of buying one that has been modded for various reasons. So I’m looking for a C63 that’s pretty clean.
what are the best places to look online? eBay? Autotrader? Mbworld forums?
As these cars are getting older, is there anything in particular I should be looking out for?

Good luck finding one that hasn’t been modded. Most are on their 3rd or 4th owner by now at least.
Look in the usual places, there’s no magic to it.

Just adding to what BLKROKT already mentioned. It will be very difficult to find a stock w204 c63. Especially with 1-2 owners. If you do, be ready to pay the premium if the owner is up to date.
I say this from personal experience. It took me over a year to find a FL with low miles, 1-2 owner that was stock. It’s possible, and you may have better luck than me, but be ready to test your patience. (Mine had secondary cats deleted only).
What to look out for?
Do a PPI at a trusted shop. Ask for a compression test to say the least. It may get pricey, but it’s worth it in my book. (I’m not discussing the head bolts or the lifters)
Where to look, start here:
FB Marketplace
FB w204/c63 pages
Autotrader
cargurus
cars dot com
Carvana
carmax
truecar
edmunds
List is pretty long...
