Hi im after a bit of advice looking at a c63 amg 2008 prob as they seem to be cropping up at good value, is there anything I should be looking out for etc 40-60k on the clock is the mileage range im looking at.


Any advice etc would be fantastic

Head Bolts was the only real issue the early ones sometimes snapped but it's not to common so check the oil colour & water levels before/after a long test drive.

There's a buyer's guide at the top of the MB page

Yes I have read the buyer's guide and done searches on here, there not that great a guide tbh.I would of thought a real owner would have more insight.


Other than auto trader and here where is a good place to look for used nice examples? Is there a website im missing?


I was hoping perhaps a owner looking to px his car in would turn up on here I did put a wanted post up but seems to be removed obviously not allowed.I did see a wanted post on the front page that was not removed so presumed it was ok.

There is so much info in PH alone on the C63 and it's various costs, joys, sorrows, mods, performance, ideal specs etc that it's not even funny. Use PH search function and you'll find everything you need and more. I had my C63 PPP for 2 years and sure as hell wrote enough about it in here for folks like you to look for.

You may not get the answers you want for your question in this thread simply because people can't be arsed to repeat what's already been written.

The 19" alloys are prone to cracks.

Blown fuse renders the seat bolster adjustments useless.

At those mileage check out how much life is left on the disks and pads.

Which service is coming up next (B service is just over £500).

Make of tyres (past and present) gives you an idea of who and how the car has been looked after.


Good luck with your search.
