Please help me decide
Hello Everyone,
Recently just bought my wife 2011 ML350, and I got that new car bug.
Currently driving a BMW 3 series as a daily driver, and I thought I was getting Bimmer as my next car(M3 or 335i). My wife always thought that BMW's interior feels pretty cheap, worse than a Toyota or Hyundai. She always been a Benz fan and convinced me test drive a new C63 AMG this past weekend, and i fell absolutely in loved with it.... So now I looking to get in Mercedes instead of BMW.
Here are my choices so far
1. New C63 AMG, i love it, but can't justify getting a 2011 model when face-lift is coming up in couple months.
2. CPO C63 AMG, save quite a bit money ($20K) for not taking the initial depreciation hit.
3. New C63 AMG Coupe, love how it looks but I'm sure I'll be paying a premium when it comes out later this year.
4. New C350 Coupe, new looks, new car, plus be saving quite a bit of money for not getting AMG. However from the past loaner C300 cars i drove, it just doesn't give you that fun feeling like when I'm driving my 3 series.
So any opinion are welcome and thanks in advance

Does a coupe make sense to you ? I just got my C63 last year and I am slapping myself now that they are releasing a coupe. I was very interested in the E92 M3 simply because it was coupe, but I have grown to really appreciate the 4 dr. I am young, and no kids so a coupe does make sense so it really depends on your situation. But if the original C63 release is any indicator to the wait time for the C63 Coupe, it's gonna be a pain trying to find one any time soon after release, so keep that in mind.

Thanks for the input.
Certain models that Merc/BMW are willing to negotiate, is AMG one of them due to not as many people are buying them?

If you are like me, if you bought the CPO you would then be tortured every time you see the new C63 coupe on the street and think... I should have waited for the coupe.
Then when you get the coupe you will be tortured every time you see a pre 2012 sedan and think wow, those look nice too, should I have gotten that instead and could have saved 20k.
Personally, I'm waiting for the new model year to come out.
