CLS63 VIN Lookup Request

Hello Gents,

Impromptu 12' CLS63 test drive yesterday left me with "CLS fever". Although I'm not prepared to take the depreciation hit of the new model, I'm very interested in the purchase of a 63, or possibly a 55 (these seem to be more desirable; more apt to tuning, I presume?)
That said, found an 09' with claimed "030 package", and I'm interested in getting the full scoop. "Russian site" doesn't load, so if someone here has VIN access and could provide an options list (WDDDJ77X69A141520), it would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Ross

Interestingly- the option list doesn't show the 030 package (or P30 for that matter). Anyone know if it's safe to say that the car is without it? Any other way to visually confirm on the 2009 (Red calipers first started in 11', yes?).

I believe the '09s with 030 will NOT have alcantara wheel but rather the '09's standard 3-spoke steering wheel w/the "D" bottom shaping and silver lower decoration w/the hole in the middle.

Thanks for this, nice to know there is an easy visual way to identify 030 for 2009. Found a couple of pics once I knew what to look for.

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
If you can drive it to 186MPH, it's got 030.

Yeah, i asked to try that during a test drive once as verification of 030. The dealer didn't appreciate my humor.

Amazing how many dealers and private sellers are mistaken about the 030 AMG Performance Package. 75% of them claim that their cars are equipped with it, and I've found that not to be true, more often than not.

Also interesting that there doesn't appear to be any added re-sale value with 030.

I think because the 63 is already an upgraded performance version of the 550 they believe the "AMG performance package" is not an option for the 63 but the car itself. Understandable but inexcusable if your a dealer and you sell these cars for a living. Need to know your product .
