Hi All,

I'm buying a c63 coupe (125 edition) 2012 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.

Where/ who are you buying it from?

Best thing to do would be to book it in for an inspection if the seller is willing to do so.

getting from these guys who's reviews all seem fine from what I've read. Was on the off chance that someone with the know how would be available thats all.
the service was just done by MB specialist today so i will be giving them a call anyway. its coming down from sheffield.

I wonder what happened here in the end ?

Eddie - on the other thead about C63 LSD's, you said you'd been offered £36k by a dealer for yours a month ago ? Surely you took it ?

I don't have to shift it in a rush. Vmax is in May so I'm weighing up whether or not to run it instead of the new Alfa QV when it comes in March / April. Alfa dealer may possibly bring their demo instead of me in mine, which is helpful.

If someone wants my PPP car and a spare set of front discs and pads (the PPP ones) in the mean time then that may also happen.
