Buy now or Wait...

Hello all,

I been looking and waiting for a right c63 to come along. I was toying w/ the idea of getting one outside my area but later decided to go against that idea. I found one this past weekend that fits what I'm looking for, although it is 2008 instead of 2009 that I been searching. However, new 2012 models is around the corner, and I'm debating whether to wait a couple more month because I anticipate more used 2009 c63 will become available and as well the price will drop.

My question to fellow MBWorld, should I wait bit longer?

Thanks in advance for advices

I had a 2008 C63 and it was cool that the mirrors would fold in when parking. All later models do not have this feature. If the car has most of the options and is the color that you want, I'm sure you can score a great price for one.

If you're not gonna get the 2012, i'd still wait, for the exact same reasons you stated. Prices don't drop with mileage and years (at least not crazy much), but the car REALLY loses value when a new model is introduced on the market. It reduces the..."wantability" of the car, which leads to more flexibility with the pricing.

Mirrors shouldn't be a dealbraker. Other than that, i don't really know what changes have been made from 2008-2009 except for the mirror design and P30->P31.

You are in Canada! In the US, only the 2008's have the power fold option.
