Looking at the history the brakes were done in 2019 the tyre's in 2018 ,6k miles ago ,so 6k miles per set that's doable
Looks a nice car 😀
Seller sent me invoices of the brakes being changed in March 2021 alongside the service at MSL.
 
Im not saying they weren't they were picked up in 2019 and not after that

Ahh I see what you mean lol. One thing i want to ask is say if these cars are still desirable when they hit 80-90k+ mileage? when it comes to selling
 
There the same as any performance car mileage is a factor in price, if your looking which you are, you will of seen higher mileage examples hopefully priced accordingly they will always be desirable due to the engine imo 😉 if you don't kill it or bend it it'll always be worth something 😉
 
Hi guys, so found a car that ticks a lot of boxes. 73k miles on the clock, 5 owners, palladium silver with 19” alloys. The seller has reciepts and documents for all services and purchases which is a mix between dealer and indy. All parts used are all genuine merc ones. He recently has done A service B at MSL and replaced the brakes disc and pads. Fresh set of ps4s on them aswell. All belts and pulleys have been replaced this year so pretty much nothing needs doing in the foreseeble future. The buyer has it up for 20k, what you guys thinks? The car looks really mint the all the previous buyers have kept it in tip top condition. Seems the best one for the money .

That one looks like a much better example.

There's lots of little clues that the seller is likely to be genuine and probably is OCD about keeping the car in good shape.

For one thing, he's cleaned the soot of the tailpipes and having owned an E55K myself, I know all about that.

Price-wise, I've no idea but it's what you are happy spending to buy the car and how the car is priced against others of a similar age, condition, mileage etc.

The fact that MSL Performance have done a service on it is a big bonus as you know it's been one properly.

MOT history looks good and even when it failed it was on tyres which could have been an oversight.

Certainly a good contender!

If you are not mechanically-minded, you could agree to a pre-delivery inspection of the car as MSLP at your cost and negotiate based on what that finds...

That's very much down to the individual buyers.

Some won't touch it. Some won't mind as it is a fairly average mileage. Some won't care at all.

As long as the car has been serviced when it should and been looked after, 90k is nothing...

I think there is a potential known-issue on these engines which are the headbolts so might be worth finding out if anything has been done on that.

I'm not really totally up on the issue or how frequent it is but it's something I would get sorted myself so I can forget about it.
 
It doesn't fall into the headbolt issues that was pre 2010 /11 ,i agree with the above about MSL they are the place to go with these, what was done on the last service

That's the 1 i was looking for good contender there if there was anything wrong with it acid at MSL would of told the owner and to see it was there a second time is ok while i was there 1 came in for a service and the poor guy left nearly in tears as they found an oil leak where the block is stuck together engine out job to repair he took the car straight back to the dealer he bought it off 😀
Goodluck if you go with it
 
Back to square 1 it seems, the seller seems to have changed his mind and keep it unless he can find a replacement. Everyone seems to want keep it for the summer! Lol
 
Hi , I believe that all cars should have a service history. Would I buy a car with a partial service history , unlikely , with 9 + owners ( could be 16 + owners but unlikely ) I would be uneasy to say the least.

Have you done an HPI check on the car?

This car has Full Service history with all reciepts. 4 previous owners. It has been really looked, this is the sellers 2nd C63 and the only reason he is selling its cause he wants an Evo.
 
He lost me on that reply aswell 😅
 
So I have found 3 which could be of interest.
Palladium Silver from the previous page which is now back up for sale, this one has had everything replaced maintenance wise so it will not need anything doing for the next 5-10000miles easily. It has got 5 owners and 73k miles on the clock and the seller wants £20k.

The next one is a white with 19” alloys. 56k on the clock and was owned by specialist car centre owner so all the services since 2017 was done in house so no reciepts of service from 2017-2020. 3 owners and priced at £23k and doesnt seem much movement.

The final one is a silver one with standard 18”alloys. Only 1 owner and has 46k miles on the clock. I have asked the seller what work has been done on it so waiting on that. I am not a big fan of the alloys so will have to get them changed to 19” which is quite a big cost unless I get reps. Priced at £23k and dealer said there is some movement in price.



What you guys think? The palladium silver is my fave one as I literally have to do nothing, the slight negative is the higher mileage and the 5+ owners so If I did come to selling it will put alot of people off.
 
The white one looks the nicest, but I'd want some proof its been serviced "in house" . Without receipts or the digital service record being updated, you only have their word its been serviced since 2017.

Ive asked and they said the parts were invoiced against other cars so they have no proof but he is a long time customer so they are taking his word. This kind of put me that one tbh.

I'd give it a miss without proof.
Fortunately there are loads of C63's for sale.
Unfortunately, finding a good one isn't so easy as you are experiencing
