New to the MB community. Just got my wife an ML 350 and I am trading my 2009 M3 for a White 2010 C63 AMG. I got a line on the "perfect" one for me but wanted to throw it by some of you and see what you think. Every option possible to include p31, lsd, and my absolute favorite sahara beige/black interior. The only problem comes with miles 28k on a 2010. I know the engine is a beast and extremely reliable so I am thinking I should be ok, what do you think? And the price is $50k even.

Sounds a bout right and I won't worry about the milage too much. However, you might need to consider extemed warrenty or CPO.

Thanks for the input Sheep. I will be going to look at it in person for the first time and test drive in about an hour. Hopefully it'll look good enough to bring home today.

Thanks again

I am ****, the car was dirty and it DID NOT have p31. It was a no-go so I just ordered a new one (white w/ amg leather wh/black, p31 and lsd) with everything possible in/on it. Got a great price so all I have to do is wait about a week for them to ship it to my dealer

Sheep

Nice, and congrats. BTW is it 2011 or 2012?

I think OP meant he searched for a premade to have it shipped to his dealer. Unless MB can build and ship it in 1 week lol.

sideout2002

Correct, they are searching for one already made with what I want (2011 of course). There happens to be one in Jacksonville, FL too.

Sheep

Trust me, looking it up with Cars.com is MUCH faster, as I found mine that way. Just put in your zip code and set no distance limit on your search.

thats the way I was doing it.. for every make n model.

I would occasionally compare the carmax prices..

sideout2002

Agree cars.com is the way to search. I am a USAA member and the car buying service prices for MB is pretty good, right about invoice plus $1500 cash incentive. I am sure a better deal may be available closer to Aug but who wants to wait that long

$50K was a bit high given the milage. (I paid $52k for an 09 over a year ago with 9K on the clock and all option excluding the P30). The P31 option with LSD seems to hold it's value better than the P30 option. I'd wait for the 2012 with 7speed and wet pack clutch.

tasho3

take a look at mine if you dont mind!!

KCviper

That does sound a little high given the mileage!!

sideout2002

Well, I turned down the used one and just bought a new 2011. I know the 2012's are just around the corner but I imagine it will still take a while for the price to come down on those...and I am getting a good deal imo, every possible option including p31 and amg leather for $66k out the door.

Now the only problem I am having is finding wheels that actually fit the c63 that don't cost an arm and a leg.

GuppyC63

$66k including tax? I just bought mine for $66k including tax but without the p31 package. Darn

Sheep

What's your MSRP? I think 66k OTD is a very good deal. When I was getting mine, my MSRP was 79k and OTD 77k after 11.5k off. But again, we have over 9% car tax so that sucks.

Sheep

I am Jeff

66k OTD including taxes is a fantastic deal. If your taxes are anywhere near what mine is at 8.875%, you made out like a true winner!

sideout2002

only 7% here but no income tax so i can item this with sales tax next year :P

park423

Wow, 66K OTD fully loaded, that's like a 15K discount, great deal... looks like they're already heavily discounting before the 2012's come in.

khmergod

Color?

sideout2002

White, I only ever buy white cars...although this is the first time I would have considered a red one...those are damn sexy.

Is there no "one stop shop" for c63 parts? someplace to get clear reflectors, large selection of wheels, some carbon fiber pieces for interior and exterior, led's, etc? Seems like everything is a specialty shop.

DuaneC63

Different wheels on a C63 are mostly for looks, some weight saving, and strength if you go forged. You can't put much wider tires on these cars as there is no room. This is a common problem with AMG sedans.

late_bloomer

Nice.. 66 OTD fully loaded sounds pretty good right now. Is this the July sale 15k off msrp like the last 2 summers? I can't help but think about the 2012 even though it will cost more.

jvanbrecht

Holy crap you people have some ****ty tax rates.. VA is like 3%, and MD is 6%

Of course.. VA you pay personal property tax every year.... but still.

Also, I believe for it to be a CPO, it has to have less then 14k miles on the clock. Either way, the OP decided against it, but I think it is way over priced. I paid 49.5k for mine with just under 14k on the clock, it was a CPO, it however was not the most optioned vehicle, no MM package, and no perf package...

Most-Wanted

I just bought a 2010 new for $57,000. It had LSD, keyless, leather, nav and everything else. Did not have P031, back up camera, or carbon fiber. MSRP was 72,000.
