Hey everyone last day of the auction, let me know if there is any final inquiries or questions. I'll be closely monitoring it for any updates. Also just wanted to update everyone, I called Mercedes-Benz of Sacramento and they ran the vin and didn't find any recalls for the head bolts or any recalls at all. Best of luck to everyone and happy bidding!
@BlueridgeMB Right on, thank you for that insightful breakdown really appreciate it!
@Ziggy The car is located in Sacramento not southern california. And it's a FL title from the previous owner who had it there transferred into my dealership name. It's not registered in CA but it passed CA smog and can be registered here with no issues.
Just a For what it's worth, but I still consider head bolt failure to be more the exception vs the rule. I still see 2007's rolling on original bolts with over 150K on the dial. My hypothesis was that one facility in the production of these bolts was turning out some sub par bits and they are Mixed in utterly w/o rhyme of reason. I'd also add that when you do bolts before they have an issue, it's really not a bad job. Lets you tackle the cam phaser plates, install some black series/M159 DLC coated tappers, a catch can (EVERY m156 should have one) and otherwise freshen up gaskets and the like. Don't forget to replace injectors around 75K....that lack of a catch can from the factory goops them up along with the intake... Trully one of my fav engines that Mercedes/AMG Ever built....also in a great chassis here w/ the Best seats ever offered in a 164. GLWTA! Jono

Mercedes Benz had a recall to replace head bolts free of charge. I had a 2012 ml 63 and I got the recall notice. Where in southern California can the car be viewed and why does it have a Florida ?
Suffice to say that the car has had excellent service, one would think if the head bolts were stretched either the owner or the mechanic would notice the problem, It's quite obvious when it happens!!
So to answer everyone's question about the headbolts no I do not have any invoice of it being done. I only see what it shows in the carfax report from past owners. I haven't seen any issues with them come up in my ownership. The carfax history is lengthy so I'm not sure.
I see a lot of service checks on the carfax nothing that stated the headbolts were done. Do you have the invoice that shows the headbutts were replaced?

@OnTheHunt @affordableluxury Thank you much appreciated!
@p2p2p2 I believe they were done. The carfax lists extensive service history and all the recommended services were done so I'm assuming the head bolts were done too. Hasn't been any issues with them.
What a great looking truck. And that interior!! 😍😍
Beautiful car, good luck.
Head bolts?
@sdotmoto Thank you for clearing that up, good to know.
@volchok_124 Paint code is 650 which translates to both Artic White and Cirrus; they often update the names but the code remains the same
@MBFahrer Yes it's Arctic White not sure why it says Cirrus
Can you confirm the color? The window stickers shows Arctic White not Cirrus.
@PUK9901 Very much agreed!
