Buying Advice 2015 E63 S4M or 2012 CLS63

I know I know, apples and mangoes.

Just need some opinions please. Money is always a concern but cud spend more for the right 2nd car.

Both have similar options. Cls is pp, 40k kms, very good condition, ELW to 2018. E63 is demo, 1 month old, mint of course. Have had 2 E63s and wanted a cls but most cpo' are in poor condition. Both are with an MB dealer.

E63 is $31k more. Actual prices aren't necessary but suffice to say both are very good deals in my local area.

Thoughts? Opinions? I'm going to post this on W218 section as well. If I can.

Cheers and thanks. Share any opinions pls!

The AWD in the 2014+ E63 or CLS63 makes it all worthwhile !
I would not go back to a RWD for my Dayly driver car.

Please explain why you say that? I know you have tougher winters and requirements in Queb. We also have a Jeep SRT for the winters and the AMG will be used sparingly during the winter.

Go with the 2014 AWD! The car is so powerful that it really cannot put down all of its power from a stop if you have a rear wheel drive version. All-wheel-drive makes all the difference in acceleration

X2, what he said,
It's all about the fun of getting off the line, my previous modded Jeep SRT8 was best at jumping from rest !

Sorta tough decision, the CLS just oozes sex with its curves but if my budget could allow me to get a newer version I'd almost always lean to that, I'm a new car guy, I like having 1 owner cars. Plus the new one being AWD is pretty cool to have with all that POWAH!!!

The CLS is so sexy though, but the E63 has those rugged good looks that just beg to be tuned, modified and a new exhaust on it, we can do all 3!

RWD is more fun, hands down. If you can get past the looks (I couldn't), get the CLS!
