Steel Gray 09' C63 AMG
Newbe to the forum and the C63
Well I was watching tv last night and saw that new MB tv spot on the C63,................WOW.
I told my self I need to check this thing out. Looked on the internet, read some reviews and called the dealer. I WANT ONE!!
My question is this. Most of the dealers in my general area (200 miles) are not very in tune with what the car has as far as options and what options are available with this C63 package. I have called several dealers and they have cars available now or have some inbound that I can reserve (some 08' some 09' model years).
That bottom line is this I guess, what options are a must have, what should I get, what should I pass on. If I get a good idea from you guys (since you are in the know) I can choose a car thats got "all the good stuff"
Thanks in advance, and am looking forward to being a MB-C63 owner.

Steel Gray 09' C63 AMG
Thanks that should get me started. I found a white 09' in Texas with a Aug. delivery date. I will check the dealer build sheet andwhat you sent me and go from there. Any other info would be great too.
Thanks, Troy

Steel Gray 09' C63 AMG
Well, I did it....2009 C63 on the way!!!
Went to New Orleans today to look at a 08' C63,...WOW! That thing looks tough in person. So the deal was they had a 08' Steel Gray for sale now if I wanted it or I could order what I wanted. The dealer only had two "open slots" left for there 2009 models and all there 2008 models were spoken for. So I put my $1000.00 deposit down and ordered up an 09' Here is the low down. I had to list price plus, TTL and a $45.00 doc fee nothing else. I think I have about every option, but not sure because we are talking 09' models.
Did I miss anything, do I need to add anything else. I have time to make changes to the order if I wish.

Sounds like a perfect order. I have not heard of anything else being available. The one thing you may want to consider is this interior:

Steel Gray 09' C63 AMG
I hear ya. Well the black looked great like always, but the gray (light gray) gave a good contrast to the darker Steel Grey exterior was my thinking. The center console and trim will still be black. My first choice was going to be white/black, but when I was at the MB dealer all I saw was white MB's so I re-grouped.
