  • Used Mercedes E63 AMG – worth paying for a pre-purchase inspection?

    Posted by Cooper on May 22, 2026 at 3:53 am

    I’ve been searching for a clean 2017 E63 for weeks and finally found one that ticks all the boxes, but the price seems almost too good. The seller claims it’s a GCC spec with full service history, but when I asked for the VIN to check, he got a bit defensive. I’m no mechanic, and I know these twin-turbo V8s can have hidden issues like oil leaks from the camshaft adjusters or failing engine mounts that aren’t obvious during a quick test drive. I stumbled across a site where you can View More about what a thorough inspection covers for Mercedes AMG models, and now I’m leaning towards paying a specialist to look at it before I commit. Has anyone here used an independent inspector for a high-performance Mercedes in Dubai? I’d love to know what specific things they checked and whether it helped you negotiate or walk away. Really don’t want to buy someone else’s problem.
