Buying a Lemon? (Just want opinions)
Hey guys,
I'm looking at a 2015 C63 with about 45k miles on it that was bought back at 15k miles for "check engine light," according to carfax. Current owner says it was an ECU issue, he's driven it for about 20k miles since he bought it and reports no issues. Do you think it's a safe buy given that its been so long since the buyback occurred?

The early (2015/2016) cars also have that ugly dated gauge cluster and HUD look with square font plus no Dynamic Select "Engine data" display.
Find a model made after September 2016 or later if you're getting a pre-facelift
