Hi everyone, I am going to pick up a C63s in MN, twin city area soon. Is there any recommended shop there that I can do a pre-purchase inspection?
The car's not a CPO from MB dealership but in a great condition from paper. Would it be a good idea to bring it to local MB dealer for the inspection, or an independent shop?
I live in NYC area and had my 2019 C63s coupe at MB AMG service Dealership back about 2-3 months ago for a rattle. They also supply me with a fulI inspection sheet (below photos) noting the overall condition of my car. So if you elect to use a MB Service then obtain the full Inspection Report and be guided by that. Hope that helped.
Thank you for the information, it looks like a pretty thorough inspection. Will there be any extra events for a pre-purchase inspection?
Not sure about extra events? My car was purchased new and was covered under warranty including the complimentary Inspection report.
You would need to call MB Service and see the price for a full pre purchase Inspection Report from a private owner. Or you can print out the 2 above photos as a guideline and have your trusted indy complete it.
Thanks, Jeff! I used them from Denver...car checked out perfectly. Went up last Thursday, bought it in 30 minutes, took it to Discount Tire to get snows (only place near Minneapolis that could get snows quickly) and drove it back to Denver. No issues even in 15 below, but a few others had some. I appreciate the recommendation!
Makes me feel good. They literally had no issues mechanically at all, and a few paint issues (car was CPO but 9500 miles so it was touchup stuff). Dealership took care of it and a with a fine tooth comb I only found one tiny blemish. Probably did more damage driving it back here.
