2013 E63 AMG
I'm back in the c63 family!

E63 was amazing in a straight line, but beyond that it just wasn't very fun. A bit big for my taste and very weak in the corners on track days.

So traded it for a new 2013 P31 C63, black on black.

Glad to be back in the family...that w212 AMG forum was dead!

Welcome back!
I personally loved driving the E63 W212 but I get what you mean.
It feels bigger and you don't feel the road as in the C63.

I can sense some new mods coming soon

What's up J!?!?

Now that you got yourself a C63 in addition to the CLS63, I bet you know exactly what I'm talkin' about. I would have kept the E63, but I'm not lucky enough to afford both. See you at the track!

Yes, you were one of the few contributors I enjoyed following.

$75K trade for the E63 (bought new for $81K from $92K MSRP) and paid $70K for the new C63 (MSRP $81K). Very fair deal if you ask me.

Been lurking a while and followed the OPs previous C63 and E63 build threads. I must say I agree that the big brothers E/CLS just do not feel as sporty as the C63. Same thing applies to the F12/13 M cars.

It would be great if the OP can take a few min to compare the tuned v8TT vs the N/A 6.2L in terms of throttle response and overall feel

Wait for next year models to come out and buy a left over model. Also, x-typer probably has a really good relationship with his dealer since he seems to go through models fairly quickly...

X-typer, did not want to try to get the 2014 c63 507 edition ?

Allocation, demand, client/dealer relationship, motivation to move aged units, etc... also if the dealership sells a certain amount of cars they get a bigger percentage holdback which allows them to blow out cars easier on negative equity trade in transactions. Some stores can get up to 8-9% in holdback alone so essentially they could discount the car over 14% in total.

Nice job Eric- went to the sportier side... got any pics? What dealer did you end up going to?
