C63 buying advice please

[Dillz]

So I need some thoughts from people in the know!
I've been looking for a C63 couple for a while and think I have finally found the one....ish
Ive just put a deposit down on a 2013 C63 coupe PP with 50k on the clock without even seeing the car yet from MB (going to view it tomorrow)

That's 20k more than I really wanted to buy one with, so wanted to ask what sort of mileage do things start to need replacing?
When do things like ball joints / bushes / timing belts (or is this a chain?) etc need replacing?

It's having new discs and pads being fitted by MB as well as 4 new tyres so that's 1 thing that should be ok.
Is there anything else I should be wary of when buying a c63 with 50,000 miles on?
Any advice is welcomed, thanks in advance

Can't help on what wears out but from what I've read the c63 is pretty reliable. Is it not possible Negotiate an additional years warranty into the deal

enjoy the drive home

There's a stunning C63 Coupe in the ads section, 2 years older but with only 29k miles and in incredible condition (I have seen it in the flesh). I'd guess a chunk of money cheaper also.

That C63 is nice but I'm afraid it's the wrong colour for me.

50k is nothing for the engine or I suspect suspension etc. The only thing they puts me off high milers is the interior wear, the bolster on mine needed attention at 25k, the bodywork could be peppered with stone chips as will the windscreen and front lights.

Fill her up and enjoy!!

A plastic pulley failed at 55k on mine. Wasn't much to replace but worth taking out a warranty for piece of mind

A large bank balance would come in handy as well ;-)

Useful when it comes to mods... headers/manifolds, valvetronic exhausts, KW DDC suspensions, carbon bits, Alloys, LSD, Uprated brakes & last but not least, Weistec supercharger systems 1 to 3....

Sorry... did i say mods?

Saw the car today, a few little marks but MB gonna sort them out. Apart from that car looks really good. You wouldn't know it's done 50000 miles. Experienced the racing/launch start....wow!!!! Can't wait till Thursday to collect it!

Mine was on 51k when I sold it and was mint. Mechanically sound bar a minor gasket leak on the gearbox which in fairness was due to having oil and filter changed a second time in its life.

I did 14k in it in 6 months I wouldn't worry.
