Yeah this is not a happy thread at all. about 2 weeks ago my wife and I moved to Miami florida due to a PCS (perment change of dutystation) with the military. after getting settled in I figured I surprise my wife by upgrading her 2009 c350 artic white on black benz with a 2009 c63 artic white benz.



the new c63








this is where the love story ends, after only have the car for a week I was hit after picking up food 2 mins from the house.

A gentlemen in a white astro van tried making a U-turn around a car that was already doing so and instead of stopping when he saw my car coming down the road he punched the gas.







I went yesterday to get my things from the car was I was taken to the er for my arm and back after the wreck and could not get my things.













Currently, Ive just hired a lawyer to pursue PI and the insurance is looking to total the car out. I now have to try to find another full options white c63 for the wife.

Sucks
Glad you aren't too badly injured
Did they cite the guy?

Ingenieur

Duplicate

The car did its job, kept you alive and disgruntled.

Everything will work out and I'm sure we'll see you back here shortly with another C63

SaphGreyC63

Wow that sucks.

Glad you're ok.

Hopefully you enjoyed it enough to want to get another one (hopefully they total it and give you what you deserve)

Properstyle

Yes, they did cite the other guy with two tickets. We are looking for another wit all our options we had depending on the settlement we will get a 2012 or at least and 2011. Wife loved the car something about that throttle blip at start up is just sexually dirty lol...

avery.whss

grab a tune and you guys will love it even more

CarHopper

Go for the 2012+. Anything pre-2011 is subject to headbolt failure although it is very rare. The better reasons to get the 2012+ are tranny updates, more driving modes available, updated interior touches... little things.

However, don't look at the market right now because I am also looking for a 2012+ in white hahaha. I sold my 09 that was black so looking to switch it up.

Good luck!

Ingenieur

Good, that will put some leverage on his insurer to settle
It's a very unique car, a beast in a tuxedo
The 'throttle blip' comment

Properstyle

Funny thing I've never looked in to any issues with the c63 2011- models as I never had any at all with my 09 c350 out of the 4 years I had it. I guess I will need to search through some threads to see what those issues are. The C63 is hers, I just enjoy my E46 M3 as a DD and a twin turbo z32 as my toy.

CarHopper

These car are actually very reliable. I'd focus on the differences in what the car comes with. Also, newer cars will still be under factory warranty which is nice as well.

jcfay

That's so bogus. I'd probably assault someone if they crashed my car, unless of course I was too injured in the accident. Even then I might just crawl towards them, bloody and bruised, and take a swing. I can't believe it's another moron driver who ruins a perfectly great C63. That SUX.

I was in Miami FL for buiness for 6 weeks earlier this year. I noticed the drivers over there are generally impatient; honking horns milli-seconds as soon as the light turns green. I fully completely bad for you... really sucks big time. Although very glad you weren't hurt.

Properstyle

impatient is and understatement, people here are in a hurry everytime they get in a car, I don't understand it.

Starky_

Sucks to see.. car looked super clean as well. Glad you're safe though!

abcut973

That is sad for the C63 but glad you are OK. Get on that 2012+ MY and don't look back.

Thrilla

Glad to hear you're fine. There's another C63 out there for you and your wife. It's a testament on how safe these cars are.

Jasonoff

I'd sell mine but you probably don't want to travel all the way up here huh?

Jons95c36amg

Ouch! Thats a hard hit.

Kriston

Sorry to hear the bad news,

As others have mentioned, the car did its job. Im sure you will have no trouble finding a new beast.

Cosmo Kramer

Glad to hear you are ok man. Such a shame. For all the time I spent researching and planning my purchase, I would be heartbroken if my AMG was taken away because of some idiot's oblivious driving. I hope the perfect C63 pops up for sale and that your insurance covers the full amount so you can forget what happened and move on with a new sweet ride. With how few of these cars there are, I figure this is the least I can do to help give you one less thing to deal with. Check these out for sale in your area:

Edit: By the way, the user that posted above me regarding the 2011 White C63, that is a coupe as said in the description.

Properstyle

Thank you sir, Problem with those white ones were they all had white/tan interior which is a no go, but I've seen a few in the area, as well as a white one in tampa, we are keeping our options open.

yeah its sucks but I'm sure it all will work out.

Properstyle

Just got an email that the insurance is totaling it out. they are putting the value at 38,350 for our 09 with 70k on the dash. Only problem is now finding anoter with out buying brand new in our area.

Conv_GSDriver

Just got to be patient, hard to say that when you want the car soon. I just bought a '11 palladium silver, P31 well optioned with 50k miles. It was out of state, I live in california and the car was in georgia. I've lived in Tampa for many years and you should be able to find a few. Autotrader has a couple of other ones in black exterior out of Miami but i'm weary of any used car dealership in miami. typically, they buy out the ones coming out of leases. GL with the hunt.
