Hopefully joining the club soon

Fellas I hope to join the AMG club very soon! I can't wait, hopefully the sale of my car goes smoothly and I can jump in to an C63 soon.

I found a few but I'm unsure if I want to bite on the coupe or a sedan ....

every time i see the pictures of this one i want to grab it and run(even though it has been in an accident less then $5000, i need to dig deeper it to the info.)

http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Mercedes-...O&orup=1_15_16

I hope the guy buying my car doesn't back out, will see in the coming days.

I can't stop thinking about the C63 after my first test drive last weekend (2013 sedan, P31 package, obsidian black, I probably would of bought it if the interior wasn't white/black)

Im super jealous of all of you and can't believe I didn't just buy the C63 instead of my C300.

Fingers crossed it all works out!

I see you have been pretty active in the forum in the other section, it'll be nice to have a newbie who isn't a rookie lol.
Great looking coupe. I wouldn't worry too much about a 5k dec, thats a smallish parking lot type incident given the price of parts and labour these days.

Good luck with this. Im out on the left coast, but if you need any Canadian help shoot me a PM, or check out MBTrueNorth on FB if you arent there already. Come on over to the dark side. You'll love it!

I tend to agree with 604 C63 with the caveat that if it was hit on either front side of the front end get it checked for alignment. Offset bolts can only correct so much if the suspension got bent.
Otherwise it seems reasonable priced. I recently saw a 2014 507 when I got mine which had the same options with about 50000km which was price much the same with ugly graphics and curb rash on at least 3 wheels which I expect was not fixable.

What happened to the pfl + pickup? You prolly need a beater if the c300 is your daily. I say go for the '14, just wondering what happened with the plan though...anyway looks great! Good luck!

The 507 coupe does look pretty nice. Usually I don't prefer the styling of the coupe, but that one got me lol.

Hope to see you over here soon, no matter which one you decide to go with!

Good luck and keep us posted. As long as you don't own a Lamborghini, ferrari, bugatti & McLaren (although unable to prove you own any) then talk about buying a C63 for months and spam the forum with questions, then you are welcomed with open arms!

LOL Maybe you should try and set up a deal with winter tires, cause you'll definitely need them haha. I thought the truck was a must but hey, who can resist a facelift AMG?

I just scored the AMG winter package that MB sold (18"x8 AMG OEM rims, Conti snow tires 235/40/18, and TPMS), all with only about 1000km and ultra mint for $1000 CDN. Super stoked about that With tax it was over 5k new at Stealership prices.

But damn 604 thats a steal of a deal....I'll hopefully get the same deal hahaha.

Adi i know I can't help but pass on all that for the facelift C63.

I'm just worried about getting my asking price on mine, I feel like the guy is going to come in and try to get me to move from my price(even though he was happy with the price we "agreed on". I'm already offering everything sub,amp, amg steering wheel, diffuser, tips,mandrus rotec rims.thats like 5K in extras. If not ill covert back to stock and sell off the AMG stuff.

Im not a lowballer, but I am a stalker. And by that I mean I look on CL almost every day, watched this guy dropping his price gradually, and I waited and never contacted him til it got to irresistible and then I reached out and said "I want it, I'll meet you today". Hate the lowball, but I like the deals and that just takes patience. I had some all seasons I was watching too, and I knew one of them would get tired of posting lol.

HAHAHA I love being that guy but when it happens to you its not fun!

I'm not over pricing my car either 27K is fair for a no accidents/claims full maintenance records car 85,000KM. I just changed air/cabin air filters and the oil(with all the extras items i mentioned above) the " Canada blackbook" value was $26,450 stock.

I just keep reading about the drools on that car from guys saying much like AMG3.2, (I dont like facelift coupes but...)
and so I went back for another look to see whats up with that. MBMarko, you may have found a car with some nice
extras, so lets talk about what we can see there that isn't stock.

Some tint of course, and de-ambered marker lights. Small items, but always a clue modding lies ahead.



Its lowered, we can see that just from the rake that it has but also look at rear wheel wells.



To me, this car looks somewhat lowered. If so, it has new springs or maybe even coil-overs.
Would be worth sliding under to see there Marko.

It has an aftermarket big rear spoiler.....



and also a new CF big fin rear diffuser....



Some nice tasteful mods adding up to an exceptionally good looking coupe.
Two questions tho...
Look at how flush the rims are...do you think there are spacers?
Im not as familiar with the 507 wheels, but mine arent that flush without spacers...




and can anyone with better eyes than mine tell if there is a different front spoiler?
Hard for me to tell from these pic of black on black. I think there may be, but
I wouldnt testify to that in court.

MBMarko, you may have just found yourself a very nicely modded 507 there.

Good eye 604. I think the front spoiler is stock. You missed the raised center caps on the wheels.
I also noted how clean the top stitching is on the shift boot. Is that a sign of how cared for it is?
I don't know Marko's situation but were it me I would pull the string even if I needed a short term loan. The other option of course is to trade his current car but that will cost him more for sure.

Good point re stitching Alex. That is SERIOUSLY white and clean.

Of course, that could also be a sign that owner was 100% paddle shifter, which is something I aspire to be. Just too many years of driving standards I guess cos I find myself rolling old school - one hand on the shifter, other elbow up on the window sill. Not exactly 10 and 2 material. Im working on it.

Actually 604 10-2 is out of favour for 9-3. All the driving courses I have had these past few years emphasized that if you have your hands in those positions and the air bag goes off you will have a nice imprint of your watch on your forehead!!!
I am older school like you but paddling all the way. On track you are too busy with your hands to take one off the wheel and with 9-3 they are right there.

Theres a few places that have it. Frequently called a DTM style spoiler.

http://www.jl-motoring.com/Mercedes_...p/mbts0408.htm

I have more links if you need em lol.

There is also a little more upright version that Vorsteiner made that I don't see on their site any more, but knock offs are available.

http://www.jbspeed.com/mercedes-benz...-w204-lci-c63/

Yes, I have been thinking about it too, but I would do it in conjunction with a new diffuser and I haven't decided which one that would be.

See that tells you how old school I am as I know that, but it goes right outta my head!
On track its a little easier to remember tho cos of the change of environment. That, and sometimes I have a life size bobble head beside me to yell at me lol.
