I was just wondering if anyone knew if there are any differences between the 2016 and 2017 C63S sedans.
thanks

Haha, I posted the same thing not too long ago here. There are subtle differences in HUD and the way things are optioned out with the premium packages vs multimedia package, lighting package, etc. Also, ventilated seats are available (not with performance seats). Also, rear view camera is standard.

I'm looking for a 2017 simply to get a newer build and for resale value. They would have to give a damn good discount now for me to get a 16.

Hey Mikey, where did you find the ventilated seats on the website? Are you in UK?

Mikey_boy

I'm in the US. Found it on the interior section.

I may pass on a good discount on a 16 and opt for an ordered car. What can be expected? Is 7% reasonable?

RDOCA

I would guess most of the time that is too much to ask. why would a dealer give away all of his margin? I would say between 4 and 5% is closer to what you will get. Unless you have a unusual relationship with the dealer.

Thanks! This is helpful; I thought I saw that 7% was the reference point. That means that 7% is roughly the margin, so agree, it would be unrealistic to expect that.

I'm currently at 12% on a 16, except I noticed some absurdly large other fees on the proposed pricing model (easily 4x what other dealers charge), so that cuts it back down to about 9%. Not that great for a 1 year old sitting on the lot it seems...

I think 10% is the minimum discount I would accept, 12% should be doable though. The margin for the dealership is about 8%, but that's before any incentives are offered. I've heard of guys getting 10-12% off on an off-the-lot car.

I got 6% off of a factory ordered, first allocation '16 model back in summer of 2015 for comparison. Also note that the w205 basically came out May 2015, so it was only a 6 month old model at the time.

Ventilated seats ONLY are available when you go with the Designo Interior options.

I got down to 15% on a loaded C63s. But my heart wasn't down with the colors (black on black). So I custom ordered and am getting 6% off. Being in the Bay Area, I think that's as close as good as you can get for custom.

Per the MBUSA build configurator I can tick the ventilated seats option and still have the standard interior.

Just a few things I've noticed about the '17 C63S sedan.

- The sedan doesn't come with a color matched spoiler standard now. It's just a bare trunk.
- The optional CF spoiler looks different than previous year models CF spoiler. It's appears thicker and the shape is more like the C63S coupe CF spoiler.
- You can now spec both the CF spoiler option and night package option together. Previous year models if you selected one it would remove the other. You couldn't order them in tandem.

I just bought a new 2017 yesterday. 10% discount off the lot.

Definitely a website error. My SA confirmed that its only with designo interiors.

damnitBobby

Well apparently the '17 does come with a color matched spoiler per some of the delivery photos I've seen.

Still not sure if the CF spoiler is different from previous years. Need someone to post a pic of their '17 with CF spoiler.

SBH-

what do you mean by color matched spoiler?

damnitBobby

I'm talking about the spoiler on the trunk. Every C63 comes with one but per the US configurator doesn't show anything except a bare trunk. It's an error in the configurator pictures though b/c every C63 comes with a spoiler.

I'm pretty sure the CF spoiler hasn't changed either, and the configurator is just making it look different.

SBH-

ohhh okay. i like the UK configurator, it gives you an accurate picture of mostly every spec you choose !
