Buying a 2011 E63, those specs
Hello, here is a car I found. W212 E63 AMG 2011.
98,000 kilometers
6.3 L natrually aspirated engine
No tuning (Just facelift)
What should I look out for? What problems can I encounter? Is this model (year and engine and transmission) reliable? I am only aware of headbolt issues which I will replace just be on the safe side.
Any advised is very appreciated

The car may not need head bolts. Mine does not because it was produced after MB fixed issue in production. My 2011 is solid. I did have to have the infotainment knob replaced and my Pano sunroof had a cable or something replaced. I use about 4 oz.of Lucas oil zinc with each oil change due the engine having cams on solid lifters. I have had mine for over 6 years.

No problems other than what I mentioned. I drive it now at least once a week. My Yukon XL Denali is my everyday vehicle.

I am planning to make it my daily driver. It was always your secondary car for all the 6 years of ownership? Or was there a period where you used it more regular?

My 2011 E63 has never been a daily driver as I drive about 25,000 to 30,000 miles per year in my Yukon XL. My wife uses her Toyota Highlander. The E63 is our Friday night date car and the 1965 Mustang is mainly at car shows and parades. My 2011 E63 AMG has about 76,000 miles on it and still smells new inside. You may already know that replacing brake pads and rotors will be much more expensive as compared with a Ford or General Motors vehicle.
