I'm seeking your help and advice regarding a potential purchase. I've come across a C63S that's up for sale, but I have limited knowledge about this car or German cars in general. To give you some context, I usually import Japanese cars with over 100,000 kilometers on them, and I've experienced minimal issues with them. However, this time, I'm considering a switch to something different, perhaps a nice charismatic German vehicle (I like Mercedes).
The car I'm interested in is listed at $52,000 Canadian dollars and has 130,000 kilometers on the odometer (which is approximately 80,778 miles). Before making a decision, I'd appreciate any insights or advice you might have. Should I go ahead with this purchase, or are there any specific factors I should be mindful of? Thank you in advance for your input!

Hi,
Attached photo is a Mercedes Benz Inspection sheet which you could print it out and have a experienced mercedes indy inspect each items are noted on the photo.
I know the front brakes and rotors are very expensive to replace and some believe that once the brake pads need to be replaced so do the rotors. So that would be a concern. Also if you can get a MB Service history on this car to see if and what service was done during this time.
The car itself looks fairly clean but 130,000km is a bit concerning especially if it was driven year-round in Canada, I'd do what was said above and print out that sheet and have someone at Mercedes check the car before you buy it (Note: if the dealership doesn't like you doing that run away) at the same time i'd ask the Mercedes dealer if they have any service records for that car they won't be able to give you specifics but they can tell you if it has been serviced with them. As for price I'd say $52,000 is a bit high for a high mileage car i'd try and get them to take a little let somewhere closer to $45k since its higher mileage and has seen few winters
