I just bought a 68,000 mile 2009 C63 AMG for crazy cheap because the previous owner listed the car as having major engine issues that could cost many thousands of dollars to fix. Mercedes and AMG had many issues with this M156 engine when it first came out so it wasn't crazy for the previous owner to assume it needed work but I was able to fix this one in 30 minutes and with $150 in parts.
Here's a video on all the major M156 factory defects.

Ok, it actually sounds really good in the last scene. Would you guys change the exhaust?
Go for it.
Minor changes can help an exhaust note moreso than a full sustem
Remove the stickers and change exaust to stock
Looks wat better
The car sounds beautiful, but you're not 12, maybe quite it down a hair? Lol.
Cant wait to see that engine bay cleaned up! 🤩
The previous owner is punching the air rn
ElectronicInfern frankly I don’t think they can give a hoot’s ass to be honest because most MB owners either have too many cars in there garage or can’t afford the maintenance. This is from years of buying used Benz’s in general. Best bet is always find a owner that has too many cars in there garage.
Rain Santiago true lol
Still probably don't know
@@iheartgs400 regardless of anything you said…the owner wouldn’t want to sell it for half the market price because he thought the engine was shot …..you wouldn’t want to leave all that money on the table just because he has “too many cars” 😂
Amazing buy!
The stickers and catback system simply have to go.
makes it look so bad
Same with the lime green calipers for me, YUCK.
0:21 "There is one big problem, actually thersn't a big problem which is a big problem for me!"
Just Epic
Lol 😂 he's so high
If I had your skills and experience, I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything. This will be a great project car.
LOL previous owner watching this vid like DARN IT
Damn, you stole it..... Awesome Deal Alex.
“Turn your volume down its loud”
*Turns volume up all the way*
Just my dream car right there. Will buy one hope the next few years. So excited to see, what other problems you can find on the car. Please don´t make it too quiet ;P
Greetings from Luxembourg/Europe.
Yeah, huge score! And it looks great, sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing about AutoTempest. Wish you many smiles with the miles...new subscriber now!
Crazy! 8500? Wow. Good buy and glad you're sharing this with us. Thank you
The same coolant leak on my cls63amg resulted in a headbolt popping. Everything fixed now though and running sweetly 👍
That’s a legit street car!
Thanks bro!
thanks for the no BS, no fluff, and informative video
Man your knowledge of these cars and how to fix them up is amazing!
What lucky find Alex !!! They guy that sold that can is going to be devastated if he sees this video 😫😭🤑😂🤣
I wish i could afford one of these😂 i paid 8k for my 2008 w204 c220
IlIlIIlIllI lIIll
I paid 26k for my 2008 w204 c180
@nobody xD
Cars are 5 times more expensive in Pakistan 🇵🇰
Well done on the new machine ! Wishing you safe driving, and looking forward to seeing the video series on this one. I LOVE it ! PS : I'd be terrified taking this one on. But you can work your Alex magic !
Can't wait for ya to replace the motor mounts. Did the ones on my E500. Drivers side was a pain. Great Content. Thanks.
Who really thinks its necessary to get even BIGGER exhaust tips on a c63 amg...
Yea, and paint the brake calipers in neon green...aaand put ugly stickers on it. The previous owner clearly had a bad taste.
TheFreddieJohansen maybe it was tracked a few times. To each their own 😭
OEM is the way, maybe a facelift conversion.
I can only see it if the owner took it to the track frequently
Only a Mercedes expert or service technician could and would have bought this. And that's why you found it and got it for the steal it price...
Not really. If you buy a car you should always inform yourself about it's issues. And always, ALWAYS, check for service history via the VIN of the car. If you know the problems of a car, and the manufacturer tells you that the issues are already sorted, you are on the safe side.
Or a MB employee with MB techs as friends... That's what I'm currently doing.
This is my dream car... I am really happy for you alex :) I cant wait to see the videos of this car. Be quick man .
For those of us who love Mercedes Benz this is the right channel to subscribe. There is no other like this one. Thanks Alex.
Check out our latest AMG video and let me know what you think!
Awesome car, great find, and way to go on that repair and getting some of these baseline tests done on the car! Always been a fan of the C63's. Oddly enough, bought my own rebuilt German V8 sedan, a 2005.5 Audi S4 manual, almost a year ago and I have some things in mind that I would love to do to it in the future. I just subbed to your channel and can't wait to see what you do with the car!
Congrats 😄 now we need that headlight replacement and restoration ASAP
Plus the updated mirrors
ROW Airboxes w/ High Flow filters? Looking forward to a solid how-to on replacing the injectors. Congrats on the purchase Alex!
I actually like everything about this car, the way it looks, sounds, even the Tavarish tape!
Whoever previously owned this played too much forza
Damn I’m jealous how cheap you got this car😂😂
What a lucky find, can't wait to see the upgrades you have planned.🍻🍻
Been seriously considering a c63 lately, when I do get one I'll be watching your whole catalouge to see all the frequent issues
I could not click fast enough! Way to go Alex. Hell yeah
That's a ridiculous price. You got lucky. Congratulations. The wagon facelift version AMG 2012 -> is probably my favorite sleeper ever.
I see you've been watching Doug demuro driving his wagon
Another excellent video Alex!! Not too loud! Sounds excellent!!
I love watching these vids. Just picked up a 2013 c63 amg coupe! You definitely inspired me!
Awesome! I’m looking forward to this build. Be sure to give us the price breakdowns as usual. I want to see how much you save by doing the work yourself!!!
Looks great!! I love the style of the W204. I have a 2013 M276 V-6 in our 4Matic Sport version, same color combo. Great handling C300.
That is what I'm currently searching for. Diamond Silver with the seven spoke AMG wheels. P1 and multimedia package.
@@bentleymccray1599 2013/14 W204s with the M276 engine and 4Matic are very popular. My wife & I found ours at CarMax... good deal for a well-maintained example. It had 59k miles on it. For another $2k, we could have had a similar car in black on black with 28k miles, but it felt as if it had been "rode hard and put away wet".
Ours now has almost 75k miles on it and it still looks and drives as new. Only problem has been from a car wash and getting used to the low front bumper scraping a bit. So, I refinished it and used stuff to ward away chips and will never, ever again take it to any car wash where it pulls the car thru it. Plus, I am now a LOT more careful with curbs and concrete stops in parking lots. Have to fix the rear bumper behind the rear wheel as a stone flipped up and gouged the bumper cover on the side a bit.
I run with Conti DWS06 tires and stock 17" wheels. Still using original shocks and springs and it handles very, very well... a sleeper handler.
I get around 21mpg in town and 28-33mpg on the road. The Econ button for stopping the engine and instantly restarting it at a light is erratic. I've heard others (and with other mfgrs as well) have a similar issue.
Been waiting for this , now I'm gonna now what steps to take with my c63
LOL, the mods and stickers... I imagine a dude about my age (40's) who's now working as an executive so has a bit of money, but in his mind he's still reliving his fond memories of the 90's and his old bug-eye WRX.
The broke. Mount could have helped finishing off that coolant.
Alex, I've heard those stickers add 10 whp and about 15 for that gold tape on the engine. Can you do a before and after dyno comparison?
I'm excited about the videos to come on the c63! I love that thing.
Funny at the end! I've never understood why TH-camrs do that. Too much work lol
Looking forward to you restoring some class back into this machine. Nice find.
Hey, thanks for the vid! Wrapped calipers tho? I'd love to do the same to my AMG, but wouldn't the wrap combust into flames after a heavy driving sesh?
I love the way it sounds, hate the tips sticking out.
I love the W204 exhaust sound!
God damn man, good buy. Love your videos, big Mercedes fan and I think you've convinced me to buy a CDI as a daily. Keep it up!
Congrats on your purchase. With the rebuilt title that was a risky purchase but you seemed to have solved the low coolant issue and with you knowlege I am pretty sure you will get the other issues sorted. looking forward to the future videos on this project.
It’s been drifted within an inch of its life by the previous owner.
Thought it was a great deal until you revealed the Salvage Title info. It became financially much riskier after that. Hope it works in your favor though... sure looks like it will now.
I’ve had my W204 C63 for a couple years; swapped in Weistec headstuds, billet pulleys, SLS tappets, ECU and gearbox tune (Simon Motorsport) plus a Wavetrac LSD. Love this car. The engine just loves oil but otherwise bomb proof. Look forward to learning more about the car through your experience & future videos!
Great score Alex at a great price.Looking forward to more on this .
Well time to supercharged that 6.2/3l
$8,500... yes.
New, custom, quieter exhaust... Yes.
Congrats! We've been waiting for this video since the other day and wasn't expecting this crazy deal you got on it! Definitely looking forward to this build! Btw, there are a few of these out there with Weistec superchargers making over 800HP... 😏
Nice, love the C63! Looking forwards to see your mods on this one
That car looks good so far can't wait to see what happens from bimmer Schaumburg.
$8500 for a rebuild title is right mate.
Hi Alex, Jamie from Australia, awesome buy, and your right those 6.3's are a good thing. Definitely cover the camshaft install and related part's.
Love your channel Sir, and keep up the great work, it's good stuff, and helps out us guys just getting into the AMG stuff👍
I learned a lot from your vdo, I want to put this engine on my Yaris tomorrow
This guy is not a "real" car enthusiast, the condition he left this car in is an absolute shame...
Totally agreed. There are enthusiasts then PROPER enthusiasts who actually give a proper shit and dont put stupid stickers and cheap mods. Appalling - most people are like this.
Oh well, you did the research fix it up sell it and buy 2 broke ones..lol
Ayy this is a pretty good deal on one of these 63 cars. You should do a facelift exterior conversion. I always thought the post facelift exterior looked more aggressive
Congrats man. That's awesome.
I’m glad you got this instead of an m car lol
This is a bargain all day 😂👌🏽 One of my fav AMGs
Subscribed because you are changing the exhaust system, awesome buy!
Oh yeah!
Can't wait to see the C63 become a beast on the track!
Nice pickup Alex! I just missed an opportunity here in Vancouver for a 2009 C63 with performance pack with 50k miles for $10,000 cad ($7.5k usd). Only hitch was that it was loosing coolant (likely cracked head bolts) Owner drove 200km with the leak and kept adding coolant. Definitely a risk as the head could have damage but it sold in a day.
AMGmeister really hey? I was told to stay away from the 2009 c63. You are better off with. 2012 model and up! They have upgraded head bolts that don’t fail. . I just sold my r63!
@@alwaysdriven As you heard, most were fixed under factory recall/warranty.
excuse me 8500$? these sell for 28k+ (euro) around here with mileage of 100.000km+
How about, 37k € in france...
Subscribed last week and this buy just made my subscription legit. I have a 2011 same color combo and looking forward to your videos on this car. Your channel is awesome and brings valued information to the community. Great work and much respect from South Florida. Great price but if it really had a problem then price would have been fair. Either way good score.
I have been waiting for you to buy a w204 c63, it is my dream car! Looking forward to the future videos.
Well done.
Back to stock is the way to go.
Hope the seller ain’t a subscriber !! Great vid
you stole that thing Alex! awesome job. i hope you keep it and do content on it, but at the very least this will be a great flip for you.
I want the VRP Cams for my c63, I look forward to this build 😁😁😁😁
Seller: good luck bro.
Alex: ohh I will
85 hundred dollars? You sure you didn't mispronounce 85 thousand dollars? Sheesh that's the deal of the century!
You found my dream car for $8500..same color and wheels. I’m going to watch every minute of you bringing it back to stock look!
Love it Alex! Keep up the good work!
8.5k ? Thats a bargain bro , im really happy for you , the previous owner seem to be a young guy that totally riced it , remove the exhaust tips , the green calibers and the read hook up front and get it back to stock form , it would look much better ..
As for the engine mounts hurry up and change them , that engine is dancing in there lol ..
C63 engines do this in general
Better bargain than the raffle Autovlog is having on the c300
Lmfaooo
James A. Than*
@@jumpinjojo good catch!
J A. You're welcome!!
Very excited for the upcoming videos!!
Excited for you Alex, great find!
previous owner was a "car guy" lmao. he has to be upset
Why the quotation marks?
If a ricer wins the lottery. Poor Mercedes...
Dextro racist
Cool car- apparently a great deal. Looking forward to future videos on it!
Lucky! Love the videos and content man! Chicagoland Mercedes tech myself. I drive home past fluid motor union everyday. Love the 648 BTW!
it’s not louder than your voice
Let me show you how i fixed this issue for $150 in my driveway.... 2 mins later.... Let me show you how i fixed this issue for $150 in my driveway.... SHOW ME THEN
So cool, look forward to future videos about this car. Love the white.
You are turning me into a Benz lover!! I do feel that this was an excellent purchase.
Its loud, but not even close to Autovlogs 2018 C63S AMG ;)
I would advise you against a m156 engine they are the worst Amg has built. Find some references on TH-cam to confirm.
You got it for about half price now salvage title should be about 11-12k. So not too shabby
Very excited about this build Alex! I do own a 09 C63 myself so I will be watching this closely!
I´m interested what you think of porting the cylinder heads on the M156 since I have heard (I know, I know..) that there is a lot of power to be had there. Talk is of 30 hp on a non tuned engine and up to 50 on a tuned one.
I´d like to keep mine n/a as well and am looking for all the power that this engine can reliably give.
Anyway, looking forward to this series!
Pull the stickers, retint to lighter shade, remove toe hook, install new quiet exhaust and paint correct. Loking forward to the motor mount replacement video! Great prj car.
i bet this car was 100% owned by an Arab LOL
I don't think there are any in Kentucky
Get to the point! Soooo much waffle. 5mins of content squeezed into a 17min video!
Score. I think you bought well. And being that you're very experienced with MB You shouldn't have anything to worry about! Congratulations🍻
Great deal! I miss my w204 C63. Sounds like you are throwing in East Coast Euro engine mounts. As far as exhaust, I ran catless long tubes and x-pipe from American Racing mated to the stock resonator and mufflers. I loved it. No drone but when you ripped on it it sounded amazing
