Hello. I've been looking to purchase a G63 for the past few months. I finally found one that seems like it's the right choice for me. It's a 2013, 115K miles ($56k). Is there anything I should particularly be worried about when owning this vehicle? I have owned Mercedes vehicles in the past and like working on my own cars and know how to change oil, brakes, etc. And, another thing I was curious and a bit worried about, do these cars get lots of attention on the road? I don't mind some attention and looks I just don't want it to be too much.
Questions about used G63

IMO and front owing a W463 for 10 years I think around 2011 quality control went down at Gratz when they stared pumping out G's at a rate never seen before. Most folks that have headache lemon G's were from this era. G63's seem to have more issues than G500/G550.
Most things on the Truck can be DIY, nothing is hard just everything takes time. Get a good Scan tool or a copy of a Mercedes unit off ebay, should work great on a 2013. Good luck

Thanks for the response. I've looked into it and I don't think I'll have issues doing most of the service myself. Do you think 115k miles is too much for one of these?
Mileage is not really an issue. These are 300k vehicles at a minimum. But I would look and see is stuff like on the AMG engine have been replaced like oil seals and coolant lines for the turbo. Those seem to leak. Seems the best ones are the 2002 to about 2008, they had the M113 and 722.630 trans, just about a bullet proof combo.
