C 6.3 AMG buy or not?
Hello guys,
I need some advice's from you.
Should I buy the C 6.3 AMG (w204)? What about consumption, parts, how many miles I will go on full tank with normal economy drive? I live in England right now. What is REAL combinated consumption?
Sorry for my English guys, and thanks for your helping!

2010 C300, 2013 C63 AMG
Okay I have had both a C300 and a C63, so I'll give you my honest advice. I use the C300 as a daily driver, and the C63 whenever I can (don't want to leave the C63 at college without a roof/garage/other issues).
I'm not sure how insurance works in the UK, so first off, your insurance cost will probably double (more or less depending on your driving record). Next off, the fuel mileage is straight up garbage. I drove my C300 in New York City traffic and got better mileage than what I get on normal streets in the C63. Be happy with like 20 mpg on the highway (less if you use the C63 for what it's made for), compared to 30-35+ mpg with a C3250/C300. Also, if you can't get a warranty, steer clear. Very few companies even offer aftermarket warranties for C63s, because an AMG outside of factory warranty can become a nightmare very fast. Parts are expensive as hell and sometimes hard to get (might be easier for you because shipping from Germany will be cheaper).
But, if you're willing to put the costs aside (maintenance/insurance/gas probably costs almost double of a C300), they are some of the best cars on the planet. They are fast as hell, but still luxurious, and look aggressive.
Also, get it inspected before you buy it, and don't buy a 2008-2010. They have this Head Bolt problem, (my previous one had it), and it costs $5k to get it fixed. It is quite common on these years.

Expect to buy a set of rear tires every year/10,000 miles. Gas mileage? What's that? I get 180-200 miles on a tank. But I smile every single one of those miles.
