C300—???
I’m currently a hs senior and I daily drive a 2015 c300 and have been for a year now. I’ve been thinking about getting something a little sportier and maybe get a 2010-2012 c63 and wonder if it would be worth it?

If you can afford the maintenance costs and possible repairs, as they are at least 3x more than a regular C model, then sure. Tires wears off fast with normal driving (~10-12k); faster if driving fast all the time. MPG is obviously lower, and no warranty at all.
Buying older years under no warranty just sounds bad. Just lease a new model.

Agreed, I'd go C400/450/43, CPO.
But, expect an increase all around: Fuel, Insurance (was quoted nearly double [33yo, married, kids, own home, clean record] for the C400 over what I'm paying for the C300), maintenance, wear items.
