AMG Leather Package $2980
Multimedia Package $2980
TeleAid $650
Gas Guzzler $2100

*Note*
Pricing for 030 Performace Package and Carbon Fiber Trim Package still not yet available.

Actually the 030 pp's price is on the AMG website for 3990, but i think its for the us market; lucky u guys ,nothing has come out yet from MB canada

Not to be brash, but how official is this pricing? Was posted on the MBUSA web site or some official press release?

-Troy

What I have provided is as official as it gets, straight from Mercedes-Benz corporate release.

Exact match of the pricing provided to me by my dealer today too.

does that base price include destination or not?

So bank on it right? Thanks for posting the info.

-Troy

We will only have two packages in Canada. Premium and AMG performance.

George

Thanks for the info. Glad to see that at least the gas guzzler cost didn't increase.

Nope thats going to be another $875.00

I have some questions about the gas guzzler tax (GGT) for U.S. buyers. The GGT is a federal tax on the car because of fuel economy, or lack of it right?

Having said that, when you go to buy the car do you pay sales tax just on the car and options or do you also pay sales tax on the car, options AND the GGT?

-Troy

Unfortunately the gas guzz is added to the sticker and so yes, you pay tax on the tax. Nice huh.

As for the overall price increase as an '09 buyer it presents me with a hike but not too painful and still prices the c63 way better than an equivalent spec (- the engine!) m3. At the same time, you '08owners can feel good that you saved soem $'s AND got your cars early.

www.mercedes-amg.com lists the PP as a $3990 option.

hhmmm, i wonder why they dont even list CF as an option

I thought it was exclusive to the performance package. I'm not saying I'm right.

They had listed a performance package worth 6800 yesterday. It was gone this morning. That package had CF in it.

George

i belive that was the PP for you canadians

in the states our CF is seperate from PP

I don't think it was for us as it was listed on the AMG site, which I suspect it is the US one.

I talked to the GM today, he told me no pricing for Canada yet.

I just want to try this icon to see if it will appear.

The latest from my dealer:

Carbon Fiber Trim $2500 ouch
030 PP package $3990

The PP package write-up goes like this...

030 AMG Performance Package AMG Limited (whats with the Limited?)= $3900
251 Delimitation of top speed to 174
471 Limited Slip Differential lock

Doesn't say anything about the steering wheel (Alantra) and Brakes Composite and what does "Limited" mean? my sales person couldn't answer anything.

CF is also a $2,500 stand alone option w/o the PP.

edit: A little slow on that one huh...

Yeah,,,but not really, I knew all along but my dealer didn't think it would be as much...

M6 has way more CF inside & it only cost $300, Audi charges $500 for their CF in a S5. Are we all paying for Lewis Hamilton's crashes?

yea but you cant compare to an M6

but then again the M3 probably has waaaay more CF and alot cheaper



in anycase, the CF is a make or break for me

So, a fully loaded (including 030) will cost you $70k. I love this car, but a
$70k C-class is starting to not make a lot of sense. You could get a slightly used CL, CLS or E AMG car for that price.

It's a lot of dough but seems to be the stadard across the industry right now. My well-specced e46 M3 cost me $54k - today that would be $71k plus gas guz plus tax...Back then a new 540i loaded was $56k, today is $74k. At the same time with gas prices and the economy, premium cars with large engines have a tanking resale - so you're absolutely right - you can get a year old CL for a steal right now. It really comes down to what type of car you want. My personal plan is to enjoy my C63 for a couple of years and then switch to a pre-owned cl600 or cl63. I'm not ready for a luxo-barge yet but probably will be by then.

Luxury pre-owned really is a buyers market right now. I bought a 6 month old 550i with 6,000 miles for $57 16 months ago - sticker was $72! Just sold it to a very lucky buyer for $43!! no dealership would go more than $37 on trade.
