Should I be afraid?

Looking at a 2009 C63 - looks to be always serviced at MB dealer with 68000 miles - never owned a car like this - what do I need to watch out for? I know the head bolt issue - anything else?
Possibly in the $21K price range.
Completed in 2018 per Carfax
  • Vehicle serviced
    • Mass air flow sensor replaced
    • Drivability/performance checked
    • Oil pan drain plug replaced
    • Brake fluid flushed/changed
    • No-start/hard start condition checked
    • Fuel pressure checked
    • Sensor replaced
    • Transmission filter replaced
    • Computer(s) checked
    • Fuel injector(s) replaced

TIA
Kevin

As said above, you are in the wrong place. A 2009 C63 is of the W204 generation. This forum is for the W206 which is the just released latest generation. You'll have better luck posting here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w204-93/
