Buying guide C63 AMG W205

Hello,

I’m in the process of buying a 2017 C63 and have been searching the forum for some advice but couldn’t find any.
The car has 28.000 km on it (I’m in Europe).

Is there anything particular I should be looking for when going over the car? Knows problems with the w205 chassis?

Thanks for any help!

Also, don't be alarmed if the gearbox "slips" when reversing in the cold. It's normal and stops happening when the temps go up. Just be careful trying to reverse it if the car is on a hill or steep driveway etc.

Apart from minor things, w205/c205's are solid
