'21 high miles or '17 low miles
New here, looking to purchase a C63S. I've had a few sports cars in my life. Closest to this was an E92 M3.
That being said, I want to spend somewhere in the $50's which will get me a pre facelift with low miles or a post facelift with higher milage (50-60k). Or more practical to get the "non-S" version to save a few bucks?
This will be my daily so I have to take that into account. I'm not opposed to purchasing an "extended warranty". Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks. I was actually about to make a post about a 2017 Edition One I found. Only thing is, it has a "Lemon" title for a coolant leak that was bought back at 5,000 miles. It has 28,000 now but thats something I would definitely get an extended warranty on if yall would even be able to cover it.

Have you used your Endurance coverage? @JettaRed recently shared his experience and it did not go as it should when working with a serious warranty company.
Yes I have I have replaced my transmission and intake manifold with it

I think this depends on what you really want. The pre facelift has its perks but so does the facelift.
Reasons to go with pre facelift:
1. Doesn't have a rev limiter
2. Exhaust sounds better( facelifts depending on where you live have opf filters)
3. Low mileage and heavily optioned compared to a face lift one at similar price.
4. All around I believe the pre face lift is a more raw sounding and performing car compared to the face lift.
Reasons to go with facelift:
1. Updated interior/software and exterior.
2. 9 speed transmission(subjective)
3. Multiple traction control levels
4. Electronic locking differential is standard now( pre facelift only have it in the S-models)
I'm sure there's a few things I'm missing but overall it comes down to what you want from the car(enjoyment and performance wise)

E diff is nothing to brag about. I've seen many fail but no failures on the mechanical only lsd diff. However the 9 speed would be the selling point. It's way more dialed in, more reliable, smoother, and more responsive / less delay to paddles. The stock high pressure fuel pumps will also be larger than the prefacelift. As for exhaust you'll likely be changing that anyway so not really important.
