Tomorrow is the day - 2009 C63

My name is Rob and I live in Fallston, MD. I've been reviewing the forum for several months now and have found a very nice 2009 C63 that will find its way to my garage tomorrow.

It is steel grey (or tenorite gray) and has beige (or oyster) interior. Joe (Valvestud) was kind enough to provide the data sheet, but the colors do not tie directly to the VMI sheet I received from the original MB dealer who sold the car back in 2009.

It has 27,000 miles, AMG leather, premium 2 and multimedia packages as well as the iPod integration kit.

I currently have a 2006 BMW 550i that is past its prime. I'm somewhat apprehensive changing brands as my brother-in-law is a BMW tech. Oh well. The car will have two years of CPO warranty, so there is some comfort with the purchase. Head bolts have not been replaced, so I will certainly be on the look out for coolant/check engine issues.

I wanted to say hello and thank forum contributors for the information gleaned here as I contemplated my purchase.

I'm not big on posting, but certainly will read rather regularly.

Best regards,

Rob

Here's a dealer picture:

Thanks g-f! They are quite fun to drive. The dealership is 2 hours from my house...which is perfect for my first date without a dealer rep.

Wow I never got 19.2 unless I was driving highway 65mph.

Congrats, on the switch. There's definitely a lot of information on this forum as well as vendors if you decide to mod. Nice color combo too.

If you're getting 20 mpg, you're doing it wrong

I'm fairly certain I saw you on Rt 152 last week. You were heading south and I was heading north.

I'm sorry, but did I offend you somehow?

I'm new to this forum, but certainly not new to online forums...in fact, I've run a few.

I think Marlin was making a joke about you being new to you car....your gas mileage will get worse as you grow accustom to the loud pedal
