C63 AMG - advice on buying/running one.
Discussion
I'm looking to buy a C63 AMG, Have a budget of around 25k so looking at 2008-2010 models.
What should i look for when viewing potential purchases?
When are the major services and what should a 6-8 year old car with under 50k miles have had done?
Also how much can I expect to pay for servicing, brakes, tyres etc etc.
Any advice when it comes to buying one would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

great cars and epic engines...but you will need shares in Michelin or simialr tyre comany for th rears...
also, i have to agree with the above,,,
nowadays they are bought mainly by the chav, millionaire wannabe, maxxed out credit card brigade. usually in white with overly tinted windows.
if that bothers you,,, the Lexus is the one to go for off your list,,,,sounds just as good, is a LOT rarer and arguably more desirable, lovely interior etc etc
besides....the others WILL break down more than is good for you mental health and bank balance...

VXR8 is pretty bomb proof actually, sound good and also very rare besides....the others WILL break down more than is good for you mental health and bank balance...
Didn't realise the C63 had that reputation now....but I'm 33 next week with 2 kids so can safely say I'm not one of these new breed of owners.
I love the IS-F but why did they have to have just 4 seats? The wife wants another kid next year so need 5 seats if I wanna keep the car for a few years.

An estate one would be ideal but seem to be a lot rarer and hold their money well.
What else is out there in my budget as a performance family car?
Just buy the car you want, if you like the C63 get one. There are people in all sorts of cars who drive like idiots. What else is out there in my budget as a performance family car?
