does any one know when this C63 will hit on US market?

I went to dealer today and he told me that
"unless I make the strong commitment on it ( by paying 10000$ deposit)
It is hard to gurantee when it will b coming."(bull****)

He told me time it hits the market could vary from march to June
and I did saw the official release which stated it will porbably hit US market on April but is it likely??
he also mentioned that fully loaded and OTD will likely be around 65ish..
this guy full of ****?
I also have one more question that
how much would 5months old C350 sport sedan with 60000mile on it cost??

He's not completely full of it. Ive taken a deposit of that exact amount b/c the buyer wanted one of our first one's. I have yet to get confirmation when our first one will be here, but most likely it wont be for another 4-6 weeks at the earliest. I know it may seem odd, but it doesnt seem to me that he was feeding you any false information. Good luck with your purchase.

As for you question about the 5 month old C350, it depends on which options it has, but most likely somewhere in the low-mid 30's. The pre-owned market on the '08 is pretty strong at the current moment.

Wait a year and save yourself $12k. Don't pad their wallets.

A fully loaded C63 is about $63,340 without gas guzzler. The gas tax could be anywhere from $1000 to $2600, so factoring in the high end of the gast tax, it would be around 65K- 66K.

The 2008 model U.S. units are scheduled to arrive in the April time frame. Folks already have production dates in March which means about a month later the cars will be in the U.S. Now unless MB decides to delay that for some reason we should see the first batch for sale in April. But if you are not already on the list to receive a 2008 it might be hard to get one (without paying over sticker) - there might be some markets where the dealer allocations have not been pre-sold.

Since the 2008 run of C63s will be small, the 10K deposit might be a tactic for dealers to locate the buyers that really want one now, versus waiting for the 2009 production to begin (June).

My car has supposedly gone into production last week. The dealer told me the car should arrive late April or early May By the way I only put down a$1000 deposit.

Some dealers just seem to stay on top of these things better than others, especially if they move a lot of AMGs or have a lot of folks pre-ordering AMGs.

According to what I've been hearing form dealers, black and the white colors are the ones that will hit the market soonest.

everything and anything
My local dealer should be getting the theirs in the next two weeks or so. So it sounds like the beginning of April is correct. As for the first color they will get.....black on black.
