Hello,

I'm looking to purchase a 2008 CL63 AMG out of Beverly Hills that has been owned by an older gentleman for 7 years. He bought the car from a current friend when it had 14k miles. I now has 40k miles. The car is super clean and has not been abused/etc..

My question: should I be concerned with the head bolt issue and if so, does anyone have a good recommendation for that and the related buckets/lifter issues in Dallas, Texas. I'd like to get ahead of the problem and don't mind spending a few bucks.

I'm looking to purchase this car for $32, 32.5k.

Also, if anyone is near Beverly Hills and would be willing to go look at it for me, I would buy you a great steak and wine dinner.


Thanks in advance.

I have a 2009 CL63. Ive owned it since early 2013. It had 10k on it when aquired. I'm currently at 93k. I live in Pasadena. It's about a 30 minute drive because of LA traffic

That’s a beautiful car. I went ahead and purchased the 2008 for $33k. Just under 40k miles and owned by a 75 year old.

what size wheels and tires are those. They look amazing.

They are the 20x8.5 front and 20x9.5 rear stock wheels that came with the car. I had them refinished with the factory silver when the chrome started chipping after all these years. I am actually hoping to sell them.

if you are referring to the black wheels, those are the ones that come on certain S63 and S65 coupes and sedans. One of stock ones got damaged and i looked all over for a replacement and the market was crazy. 800 bucks for a "refurbished" wheel. Smh. I could have just refurbisbed them myself for way cheaper.

I had a 2003 CL600TT which was powerful & a beast. It had torque for days. Doing 90mph and punch the gas and it pulled like a freight train. I recently picked up a 2009 CL63 OMG, the power without out the complications of that V12. The 6.3 engine is less complicated than the V12TT
