C63 - Worth spending more for a newer car?

[Tiggsy]

Looking at post 2012 face lifted C63. Prices seem to be around £25-30k for 30,000 miles - or I can spend more and look at a lower mileage car, perhaps a 13 or 14 and maybe from a Merc dealer as opposed to a non-merc dealer.

But will I gain anything obvious? Does 30,000 really bother these cars? Am I better keeping the extra £5k+ for problems (and fuel!!!)

AFAIK post 2012 cars are not affected by head bolt issues that affected some of the earlier cars so any post-12 cars will be fine. The engine is relatively unstressed, so 30k miles is nothing on these cars. Mine had almost 80k miles when I sold it and it was still running absolutely fine.

Although I don't own a C63 AMG I do own an SL63 with the N/A engine and the MCT auto-box, the combination of the two is well worth checking out before you buy because that MCT box is a gem and what more can be said about the N/A V8.

As above, any >12 is free of engine errors as far as we know. I bought my C63 on a strict options criteria rather than mileage. Maybe work out what options you want and take it from there.

As above post 12 will be fine, save your money spend it on fuel & an exhaust mod
