WTB: 2012-2013 C63 Sedan

Earlier this year I sold my 09 C63 and bought an S4...but the S4 never came close to matching the fun and performance of the AMG. I've been trying to hold out for the next-Gen C AMG but it doesn't look like that's going to drop for another 12-18 months and I don't want to wait.

Most importantly, the M156 engine is an all-time great and I need another go at it before MB retires it. I said that if I was going to get another C63, it would have to have everything I was looking for since I plan on keeping the car for a long time.

All of that said, I'm looking for a 2012-2013 C63 sedan in a very specific configuration:

Diamond White Metallic (Polar White 2nd choice)
Classic Red Leather (Red/Black two-tone 2nd choice)
Carbon Fiber Trim (aluminum trim 2nd choice)
Lighting Package
Multimedia Package
P31 Package
LSD is strongly preferred but not a must have.
Mileage 30K or less

If there are any owners here that have a car spec'd out like this and are looking to sell or lease swap, please PM me.

Thanks!

Did you try MB dealership or autotrader/cars.com?
There might be one available and suitable for you.

I've been checking daily for the past several months but all of the examples that pop up have the two-tone black/red interior and I really want the full classic red on white with CF trim.

I'm happy to keep waiting as I'm sure something will pop up eventually. Happy to let depreciation do it's thing until then.

I've looked at this car several times but no lighting package is a deal breaker.

I've been trying but I don't want to wait that long and I want to own the M156 before they go extinct.

I would have unchecked the CF trim and P31 from your criteria list. CF trim is something that you can DIY at any time after the purchase of the car. P31 means suspension/brakes/tune/LSD if i don't forget anything. There are a lot of good aftermarket parts/tuners for that and probably cheaper than the OEM price.
So exterior color, red leather and lighting package should be your primary filters.

how about this one http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?zip=70726&endYear=2014&vehicl eStyleCodes=SEDAN&interiorColorsSimple=RED&modelCo de1=C63AMG&showcaseOwnerId=66872411&startYear=2012 &makeCode1=MB&searchRadius=0&extColorsSimple=OFFWH ITE%2CWHITE&mmt=[MB[C63AMG[]][]]&listingId=360010003&Log=0

It's not diamond white but artic white

P31 suspension is the same as standard C63 and no LSD. You're probably thinking P30.

Get them all, with the same quality, and post your bill.

In my OP you'll see my list of 1st and 2nd choices. The biggest thing for me is white with full classic red leather interior, multimedia and lighting package.

I've had my eye on that one for a month and if the price keeps comin down, I may pull the trigger..but I feel like this car is still overpriced at $57K given the mileage. The only drawback here is that it's two-tone and not full classic red.

What your looking for is very hard to come by. Not too many c63s out there on the market in the first place. Good luck anyway.

I found one and am closing on it today :-) P31 Coupe Polar White/Classic Red interior.

I really wanted a sedan but since I've already owned one, and since the W205 AMG coupe won't be out until most likely 2016/2017, figured it be nice to enjoy a couple of years without a competing new body style.

Haha yes those multispokes a would be nice! I'm in the process of procuring a custom CF steering wheel and CF trim to get my interior perfect.

I'm going to have my F14s refinished in satin black for spring/summer so if I get your 19s, those will be come my winter wheels and I will convert the stock 18s for track use.

Also working on getting CF lip, skirts and diffuser then dropping to perfect the stance

I haven't taken delivery yet and I'm already modding lol...but it's good to have the passion back. My S4 was a really fast snoozer.
