What you guys think of this? A little higher on the mileage side compared to others but only 1 owner and full dealer service history.
What you guys think?

Pity the alloys look like they have been refurbished and lost the silver lip. The advert describes them as 18" titanium finish? They look gloss black to me.
On the plus side, it looks good from the photos and a one owner car with full dealer history points to it being looked after IMO.

yes I was thinking the same, they have defiantly been refurbed and look alot darker.
What should I look for with ones this mileage other than normal servicing?

Not having that car, or engine it wouldn't be in order to comment on what to look out for.
The engine would be out of the range of the dreaded head bolt issue which is good news.
Hopefully a C63 owner can advise on what to look for specifically.

The wheels are horrible but he's used the auto fill on the listing that's why it states 18" photos look good the mot history is only comming up with the last mot which it needed tyre's, as for servicing this year if not done is a B service also plugs, for the 2nd time, maybe diff aswell ATF should of been done in 2016 other than that normal stuff

Regards to the alloys you think they are aftermarket as they look abit small lol. Maybe its the angle of the pics

mean the coupe looks soo much better IMO but I need a 5 door. The pan roof on a coupe just sets it off perfectly.Not sure about the mot history

hmmm I'll ask the dealer tomorrow.
How many miles is yours on now? you think 70k miles is too much and also when it comes to reselling in the future. it will be more of a weekend car tbh.

The prices are up from last year as long as the history is good i can't see them dropping I've only done 1k miles in a year
They are excellent cars and good fun

This was my B service last year which is 2012 so that 2013 should look like this for 2021 service

Maybe people buy them to scratch an itch and move them on. Or possibly realise they can’t really afford them.

Don't know , can't tell from those bloody awful blurred photos in the ad, or is it my eye's ? (heavy weekend)
Is that red flag? I found another one which has lower mileage but 4+ owners. Normally if i was to purchase a car i will stay away from high owner cars but i guess these are different and it seems common.
Maybe 20 plus some change lol. I have found another with lower mileage, 1 owner and full service history.Not to worry the right car will come along but i think 20k is abit low for a decently speced car with the mileage I think you are after
I don’t know if a big fan of the silver on silver with those alloys. My friend has diesel version and it looks identical with those alloys lol but a part of me does like the change to the usual white with black multi spoke alloys.
