2012 W212 Tuned Stage 2
Coming Back To Much Missed AMG Family - Help Needed

Hey All,
Its been a while since I sold my E55 AMG (3 years) and have been itching to get an AMG in the family again. I put a deposit on a 2012 E63AMG - 18K miles on it. Going to get it inspected here in Dallas, TX... but would appreciate any hints on what to look for and not.
VIN number is : WDDHF7EB7CA636634 - if that helps any - asking price $65K. (http://www.ecarone.com/web/used/Merc...exas/19080235/)

Your help appreciated in advance - and hopefully the car is good and I can get over why the heck I ever sold my E55 ;-)
Cheers
AA

Looks like a clean car. First year for the E to have the 5.5TT. Price looks good considering it only has 18K miles. Still under factory warranty so there isn't much to be worried about. I guarantee you won't regret the buy. Very fun car!

Nice options. $60K is a better target, and since you said "asking price" hopefully you can negotiate a bit.

one nit-picky thing. is the keyless go button missing? I see the key stuck in the "ignition" and the only way to do that is by removing the button. Not a deal breaker, since it is easily replaceable.

Gorgeous car. I'd pick that up in a heart beat if I wasn't obsessed with the facelift W212.

Thanks guys... one quick question... since the car is still under manufacturer's warranty - i believe a year left.... will I be able to buy an extended warranty from MB OR is going to a 3rd party a better option.....
Any rough numbers on what an extended warranty would be.
Cheers

as long as you are within the Factory warranty period, you can pick up the Extended MB warranty.

Not sure on pricing.
