Philippine C63 delivery

Well, after a year of thinking about it and saving up for it. We finally took the plunge and took delivery of the last C63 AMG available from the local Mercedes Benz importer.

From what I know, there were only 3 C63s officially imported to the Philippines. A silver one, a white one and this black one.

This car is truly a beast. Just a little picture of the car in front of the local MB dealer just before taking delivery. As soon as I replace the wheels with some 19 inchers, I will post more pics

Exactly what I paid here in Hong Kong too. Import taxes are really pain in the a$$.

Anyway, enjoy your new ride.

Congrats!!! Ok yan but sa weekend ng madaling araw mo lang pwede pa takbuhin yan ng mabilis.... but no matter what trapik or hindi trapik its still a beast. Did you buy that at CATS? If you need some after market parts here let me know, and if you find cheaper but good quality after market parts there let me know also .

Yup car is from CATS. The people at CATS have treated me well in the past and their after sales service is pretty good. I just don't want to deal with issues associated with "grey market" cars anymore. I want a warranty I can rely on, specially with this car. Oh and I will be on the look out for parts as well. Friends say Hong Kong is a good source. Might check it out since it's only an hour away from Manila

BruNO, If your neighbor is also into bikes as well as cars, then yes, that white C63 is also an official import.
