Think of buying a 2010 S63 with 53k miles. Please comment on reliability

Hello,

Was just wondering if any owners of this w221 AMG would be able to comment on reliability of this year, and model type. I am considering a purchase of one with 53k miles.

Anything I should look for or ask the buyer in particular?

Thanks in advance.

I sure like my 2011 S63. It is six years newer than the S55 it replaced but so far it has been perfect.

The only thing I would worry about is the head bolts.. I think the problem was solved on the last half of 2011 cars.. so you will want to see if they have been replaced because I think it's a 5-7k job.

I would def check the VIN and if affected change them out!
I'm sure a 2010 can be had for a much better price with the NA M156.
