So my local dealer (University Motors) has a CPO 2014 C63 Coupe with 1900 miles for sale. Car is just getting it's LSD fluid and oil changed now. Dealer is asking $69k said he'd take $67500 from me or my MBWorld friends. I live in a small town in West Virgina so I know the car and parties involved. An older (than me) doctor ordered the car and kept it for a little over a year before trading it in on an ML63. Car is optioned with LSD and keyless, and has been de-badged (dealer is replacing them). If anyone is interested in the car call Charlie Vanaman at 304-296-9224 and tell him "Diesel Red" sent ya.

Here are some pics along with my steel-grey 507 - I have the black wheels.

Beautiful cars. Still cannot believe that the 507 can even come with the halogen lights; let alone any of the new C-Class coupes. So disappointed that MB did not put the lighting package as a package that comes standard on the coupes like BMW.

These cars are going to tank in the next few months. Dosnt matter if they are 507 or not they are old bodies. The Black Series is more limited and are taking huge hits...you can get them way under 100K and they sold for 140K!!

rediesel

Agreed on the lights. The gentleman that ordered the car only wanted LSD - nothing else. Dealer apparently had to talk him into the keyless. My car is loaded (except performance media) and Charlie (dealer) and I were BSing about the philosophical differences between ordering a pure sports car and GT car.

^ Yep. and I understand why this dealer is trying to get rid of ti before it is too late. That car will be difficult to sell due to the lack of lighting package.

CarHopper

Way under 100K as in 1 was below 100k because it had like 60,000kms on it or something high mileage?

Please, show me a clean low mileage BS for <$100k. Even without the aero package.

I still cannot believe MB rolls out modern AMG vehicles with halogens. Furthermore, I cannot believe buyers don't check that box when buying one. Finding a facelift 4 door in white with the headlight package was a pain.

OHH I'm not suggesting anyone purchase these as an investment. Depriciation will be in effect for the next few years. However, the previous owner having experianced 12K+ in depreciation in 1900 miles the next owner is pretty much garaunteed a much better per mile cost.

I'd take a 507 without lighing over a P31 with it, but the 507s isn't my daily and I really only drive it when the sun is shining. Thankfully I don't have to compromise in that respect since mine has lighting, multimedia, distronic, LSD and a few other options.

My dealer joked that I should have waited a year, bought this 507, and saved nearly $20K to which I responded that I wouldn't trade $20K for the past year's experiances with my 507 - and I was being honest.

Did you say you were a doctor? Your post is filled with spelling and grammatical errors.

The 507 is nice. It's special because it is "branded". But for you think it's any better than a C63 P31 or a C63 with a proper tune and mods then you have koolaid in your baby bottle.

The C63 was offered with a few marketing gimmicks. An Edition One, a Alfalterbach Edition, a P30, a P31, and a 507 off the top of my head. They are essentially the same car, with just a tune, CF bits, wheels, red calipers, etc. The car can be modified to the same level depending on whether you would like to add these things after market or pay through the nose from factory. Plain and simple. So just because it's a 507 it doesn't mean it has a V12 Lambo engine in it. All models have some ups and down depending on your preference. It's the same car.

rediesel

You should see my handwriting.

An Afalterback Ed, and P30 are all pre-facelift sedans wheras a Edition 1 and 507 are post-facelift so they aren't all the same. I know you are aware of those technical differences so I woln't patronize you by going into detail. A 507 and a well optioned Post FL P31 are essentially the same (wheels, stripe, and interior bits are the difference).

CarHopper

Call me crazy... But I'd take just a regular ole FL C63 w/ headlight package over a 507 without...

Then, all I have to do is buy a hood and a tune and voila! 507. Coding in headlights to replace halogens makes me want to vomit.

dchl21

yup. never buy a car without stock xeon. just dumb

Guys stop jumping down the OP's throat. He's simply trying to help the forum members out in case someone is interested in a 507.

CarHopper

Nobody is jumping through throats. Heh, maybe zeph.

Just simply sharing out opinions on the headlight packages.

Andddddd I'm still waiting on a non-OP to show me some CBS' for under $100k that are worth having...

sinape62

Those are nice cars, both of them. Bottom line. Nice price too if anyone out there is shopping.

Bardman

Lies!

I'll be the first to admit that the 507 is a parts bin special, but its more than just a hood and a tune.

You get:
- aluminium hood with vents
- tune
- forged wheels (imo the black 507 wheels are the best going around for the c63)
- Upgraded performance brakes painted red
- single fin grill
- black mirrors and spoiler
- alcantara steering wheel and shifter
- smoked headlights
- Fancy stickery things on the sides

I'd be surprised if you can get all that in the after market on a base C63 for the same price as a 507. And its worth quite a lot more for those keen to keep a car stock.

This is a little tongue in cheek, but lets not sell the 507 short. Its a great car!

Mike3

its funny because they will probably be classic cars years from now.

LakeShow23

Well said! I agree with you brother! In a sense the 507 Edition is more or less a Black Series spec'd C63 for the road or daily driving and you can get a 4 door also. 507 isn't just another random special edition, there's actually some special touches to the car other than just unique paint schemes on Edition 1 and other similar Editions. Revised Suspension, brakes, forged internals and power increase, Alcantara, etc. Drive a reg C63 and 507, you'll tell the difference in a heart beat. The 507 is just more alive and more ready to tear up the road. At a stop the engine/car rumbles like a V8 Nascar ready to go lol

Razzy

I have a 2012 c63 P31. I've got everything the 507 has besides the hood vents and a decal lol. The 507 is the last hoorah, but unless you are talking a C63 BS, I wouldn't be too worried about having a P31. Now comparing a normal C63 with a 507 is a big jump yes.

PS: Mine is loaded with every option. lighting, media, lsd etc. I don' think there were any more boxes to check off

Kriston

All of this enthusiasm guys, but you forget the main reason why a 507 is "special".

Forged Pistons / Connecting rods and Lightweight crank shaft all shared with the SLS.

While I agree with the rest, the 507 is essentially a parts bin run out. It still has a few things under the hood normal C63's do not have.

Factor the cost to tear down your block and replace your pistons etc. if you really are going to compare the 507 fairly.

Lets get this straight - If you own a 507 Sedan, its the closest thing you will own to a CBS in sedan form. The sedans IMHO will be much more desirable down the road. Limited production run + factory installed parts found in MB's "super car". Recipe for a winner I think.

Factor the mechanical enhancements into the list of aesthetic upgrades you get with the 507, and all of a sudden the car becomes "special"

I am Jeff

The "special" parts that you have listed are all part of the P31 package. The forged wheels and vented aluminum hood is what differentiates the 507 to P31 packages. Everything else is fluff. That's up to the potential buyer to decide if a 507 package car with missing equipment is special enough to pick over a properly equiped P31 car.

ZephyrAMG

Look at the 12-14 C63. It's the same as the 507 essentially. The 507 is just lipstick put on to get the final models purchased and out. Also, the C63 BS and the 507? Hmmm....

MB didn't even care enough to give the 507 CF mirrors, spoiler. It's just bits that are painted gloss black. At least they did with the Affalterbach edition. Shows that MB just wanted these cars out and gone...Some fancy snowflake wheels? I would rather have aftermarket ( HRE,etc) which would be cheaper and better quality. MB OEM wheels are notorious for cracking.

$90k for a C class taxi cab with stickers and some hood vents?!? You are talking GTR category here...

To each their own. I love the C63 in any model it is. The 507 is a cool variant! I actually love the sedan version. But be fair and call it what it is...

jrcart

You are clueless bro...no offense. The only C63 BS that has sold for under $100k was a non-aero pkg base car that probably only stickered for about$108k brand new. A fully loaded(aero, track, perf. media pkg) C63 BS stickered for $130K(I should know I own a loaded one) and they are still fetching $117-$120 on the used car market and there are exactly ZERO of them available on the used market right now. In fact there are a few thread on AMG PL with people looking for C BS Aero pkg cars right now but there are none to be had.

...also the C63 coupe will not be changing for the 2015 model year and a new comparable C63 coupe will not be available until at least Q4 of 2016. So while some of the 507 sedans migth take a decent hit on values in the coming months the coupes will not, at least not for a couple years.

jrcart

Exactly, You are spot on! The C BS market is still surprisingly strong. Nothing like the hit my CLK BS took back in 2008, granted 2008 was the begining of the economy melt down which I am sure played into that slightly. But even CLK BS prices have leveled off they have been in the $62k-$70k range for a couple years now. I don't see clean ones ever dropping much below the $60K mark. ....but since I don't normally sell or trade in my cars I could give 2 fv(ks less about resale values.

CarHopper

I just stated my preference... Yes, the 507 is an awesome car. However, for me, this is why I don't need those "extra" bits...

1 & 2 were hood and tune.
3 - wheels - Yes, cool wheels. End of the day they are still just OEM and I like to think of myself as a wheel ***** when I have the spare change laying around. So, I always end up with aftermarket wheels.
4 - Red calipers - So I can just paint mine. I don't track the car, it's my dd. And I'll save 4 figures when I replace rotors and pads.
5 - single fin grille - ... Facelift all come with those.
6 - black mirrors / spoiler - I have a CF spoiler and mirrors are easy.
7 - alcanatara comes with a PP facelift (minus the shifter I think, which is cool)
8 - Headlights - this was the original issue. Halogens = no go no way.
9 - stickers - 2 Fast 2 Furious for me.

For ***ME*** I'm better off with a standard C63 w/ headlight package. I'm not tracking the car and I'm not supercharging it. While we all buy it with hopes and dreams to, I just know I wont. Also, for those who live and die by keeping a car stock, that's respectable. All mod's I'd do are easily reversible.

So what am I out that I like on the 507? A hood and a tune. And if it means I have to buy a base C63 and add those because a BASE c63 comes with the headlight package and a 507 doesn't then so be it.

Seriously, IDK what that guy is on, or what he has discovered. But, if he is finding all of these CBS' well under $100k then he should buy, and flip them, making $20k on each. Would be tough though because when I went C63 shopping I was looking for BS' and really didn't find ANYTHING.
