What would you guys pay for this? Thinking about tradingselling my 2010 C63.

It seems to be priced a bit too high. Looks clean but doesn't have PP.
I'd estimate around 61 maybe $62,000.

There was a similar edition one sedan that recently sold on cars.com...think it was a TX dealer. Had 14k miles and was listed at 59k. 2 months earlier it was listed at 68k.

No Offence to anyone who has this paint. But in my experiences with 2nd hand sales price for these vehicles people are very worried about maintenance and repairs on this paint. It is known that resprays can only be done by trained painters to recreate the same density of matte to match the rest of the vehicle.

I think that this matte paint is better off as a temporary vinyl that can be removed to an original metallic paint. IMO

The matte is easy, just use Dr Beasleys - also the paint very durable.



A mercedes benz designo certified collision center can fix anything on that paint. I checked with one before I bought my Edition 1, and now I have Magno Alanite Grey on my Black series.

Its the best color, EVER. so far.

Thats a great car, I loved mine, was solid and handled VERY well.

I got 55K for mine from the dealer, that shows you how much wiggle room you have - and I only had 4 K on mine, and it was MINT. MINT. MINT. I was pissed, I wanted 65.

I considered getting one.. But I spoke to my detailer who washes my car.

His experience was the matte paint after a few years becomes more flat, as you cant avoid having it ground down over the years from washing ect. and that if you got any scratch it you cant buff it out....

His advice was if you want the look then do a vinyl wrap.

i couldn't disagree more, i am not a detail guy, but honestly, the car hasn't changed in the year iv'e owned it, and its actually not that difficult to paint. the wrap is dull and isn't as "even". but honestly nothing i say will change how u think, u gotta own it to realize how easy it is

Thanks.

Thanks for all the input. I've been making lower offers, I can't get them to budge.
