Hi All,

I'm buying a c63 coupe (125 edition) that is being delivered this Thursday evening from sheffield. no money is being exchanged until I'm happy with it.
I know the basics of what to look for but is there anybody in portsmouth/gosport area that knows these cars that would do a check with me? happy to sort a crate of beer of few quid.
Just this is my dream car and don't want to be blind sited with my excitement.
Things i already know.....
It has full service history and not due a major as just had minor.
4 new tyres fitted, which if no good ill probably change anyway-no majorly fussed.
34k on the clock.
mot not due till july 2017.
paint work "from photos" its flawless, and so is internal red leather, and trimmings.
Wheels are being referred as part of the sale as a few scratches but not dented cracked etc.

under is meant to be very clean, no signs of oil (but not exactly sure when i look where to be looking)...

Any advise help, or if somebody is free thursday evening would be greatly appreciated. I'm paying a lot and worked hard to get this car so don't want to me left with a st heap.


Thanks guys.

The guys up at PCS in Horndean are worth asking to check out as they do loads of these for local and not so local owners. If you can get the car to them to check over it will be well worth it.

I'm selling my C63 if you're looking. Not a coupe though. 62 plate Saloon with PPP and LSD. 33500 miles. If you're interested let me know. I've had 2 C63s so know a fair bit about them.
