Need Advice- price check used 2010 E63 is it a scam?

What's up Mercedes enthusiasts, heavily considering buying a 2010 E63 with 42k miles, what do you guys think is a good market price on it? Packages wise the car has the premium 1 and 2 packages and driver assist package, the dealer wants 29,950 for it.I'm going to check out the car tomorrow, so please any comments or suggestions on what it's worth is highly appreciated. Also, anything specific I should look for when test driving or looking under the hood? Have a blessed day all.

Good Luck on this. Price is about right for that. I literally just sold my 2011 with 66k miles for $31k. I had every option in it except for B&O sound system and the performance package. Even had the night vision.

#1 thing to do is to have a dealer service advisor somewhere run the VIN to see if it pre or post head bolt issue. There is also a guy on this sight, although I forgot his name, that has done this for a bunch of guys including me awhile back. There are other things too, but nothing real serious. If it has the pano roof you might ask the current owner if it makes a pop sound when you go up a driveway at an angle. Known as "pano pop" Right behind the drivers head in the roof.

Cheers

The build date for a 2010 will have to be late in 2010 model year for it not to have head bolt issue. If the car was built in 2009 or early 2010 then I would walk away.

Headbolt issues also plague some early 2011 ones, so PM valvestud the vin# to find out for sure.
