If you haven't tried it, your C450 VIN will work in the AMG Private Lounge.

One last update to this thread for all of my friends that were agonizingly waiting for their builds along with me and mine...

I needed to replace my old 2002 Durango RT and bounced around a few ideas to replace it... another Durango (...I really like the current model) and a few other SUVs including a Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (but I couldn't get past the Jeep interior for a 90K vehicle). Finally, I came up with the idea to replace both the Durango and the C450 if I could get the same designo interior as my 450.

After some serious searching and a little negotiation, I worked out a deal to trade in the C450 for a GLC63.

The C450 never made it to the dealer... once my brother got word that I was trading it, I ended up working out a deal with him (which is cool because I was never going to recoup the value for some of the options like the designo interior - it doesn't even so up on most car value estimators).

It was seriously hard to even consider selling the 450... that car was a blast to drive, I am definitely going to miss it. It's funny, most people considered the single year run of the Mercedes C 450 AMG Sport (replaced by the Mercedes AMG C 43) to be a black mark (a negative)... I saw it as something different, I saw it as unique...one of a kind.

Thanks for everyone that followed this thread and left comments... here are some final pictures that I took of both the C450 and the GLC63:

Thanks for the parting pics, buddy! I so well remember you getting the C450 at about the same time I got my C300. Good Times!!
