At that mileage you are right in the sweet spot of maintenance costs for a German car.
All the other C63s in your link are even more $$.

I would take the black one with 17K miles for $46k and get their additional 6 year/ 100,000 mile warranty plus their standard 5 day money back guarantee if I don't like it for any reason. Of course I would test drive the SS and AMG C63 before plunking down that kind of money on a performance sedan, I'd also look around for more affordable ones with less miles as I only spent twenty seconds to come up with that list. I'm also not here to argue, just pointing out that not all 20k mile C63's cost $70,000.

Oh I just noticed you said
E65's cost $70k according to KBB, I dont know if that was just a spelling mistake or what but there is no such thing as a 2012 E65. The AMG E class totally different model with a totally different hand built engine. The E63 has a twin turbo 5.5L V8 that makes 100 more hp then the NA 6.2L in the C63 and the 65 which is avaiable only in the S and G class uses a twin turbo V12. I also would not touch a used German performance sedan with a ten foot pole, but would consider one with an additional 6 year/100k warranty like carmax offers.
Carmax: AMG C63 17k miles $46,998
