  • 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.

    Purchasing a high-performance vehicle like the 2017 E63 can be daunting, especially when dealing with potentially hidden issues. The seller’s defensiveness when asked for the VIN is a major red flag, and I’d definitely recommend proceeding with caution.
