Greetings.

First off, this is one awesome car. From what I've read my deal for my palladium silver c63 with (59,500 -not including state taxes) is pretty good. It's got everything but the sports package and stickers for 68,080.

I actually went to look at ML's for my wife and noticed the front end of the c63. I continued on my way to look at the ML's and when I was done asked to look inside of the c63. My salesman decided to start the car and I was immediately hooked, then decided to take me on a test drive.... wow is all I can say. I've never been scared in a car before, it just accelerated so quickly and easily and its handling was awesome. And I'm coming from an 06 SRT 8 (selling to help purchase the c63... pm if you might be interested), which is no slow poke.

For those wondering, my wife hasn't gotten her ML yet.. and won't until November. But at least I will have my c63 . We actually have to order her a 2010 ML550. And its a good thing my wife loves me... not sure how many wife's would let their husbands get away with this.

I hope to learn a lot about these cars from you guys, and please let me know what you think of the deal. And pass along any tips you might have... I'm already shopping for rear tires .

PS: She thinks I can't mod this car (one of my selling points to her), but then again white lies really can't hurt anyone (or me), right?

Welcome. Many of us have similar stories. Call it the unintended purchase.

"Oh man. See what happened was, well, I was at the dealer to ...[fill in the blank]......... and next thing you know I ended up buyin' a C63."

haha
The C63 was an "impulse" buy for you. Congratulations on the color. Good choice. But what do you mean by "sports package"?

C63 Guy

Yeah, welcome to the fray! Mine's palladium as well. And I was literally on my way to buy an M3 when I tested the C63. End of story...

You definitely are one of us! LOL.

Congrats and welcome again,

Palladium is my favorite color and I love 1st amg's car!

Very much an impulse buy, it took longer to get the wife to not think this was planned all along then anything else. The sports package I'm referring to is the amg performance package.... my bad I used the wrong term.

Will definitely get some pictures.

I gave them a payment to hold the car to next week and they moved the car into the showroom and put a "look but don't touch sign on it".

Edward,

OOO, the MOD bug! Let the games began, RIGHT!

Do you plan to let the wife drive?

Kind of an impulse buy for us as well. My wife wasn't happy with her 550i. We walked in to our local dealer and there it was, just as if she had ordered it. Palladium with light grey interior. Before I knew it the Bimmer and my Corvette were gone. I think the proper term is "Yes Dear". It's a double edge sword to be married to another enthusiast. We enjoy the car(s) but its starting to get expensive.

Congrats to both you and the OP. My C63 is also Palladium w/ light grey interior and I love the combo!

Not if I can help it, but I have a feeling I will not win that battle. So if I do lose, I plan on taking her to an empty parking lot and letting her practice there. And hope she doesn't like it . And after the parking lot we will move to the subdivision, and after a couple of weeks of that I might let her drive in base. So in about a year or so she might be driving on a highway.

Or I can hope she really likes her ML.... And yes I'm already looking at what I should do next... after buying my new tires.
