Yay! New Owner

Finished the deal today.
I'll pick up my white/black C63 tomorrow.. They are shipping it in from NY.
Got a hell of a deal too.
Almost $14K off!
Went to PenFed and got 3.99% 60month.

Dealer just called at 10pm to let me know the car is here!
Can't wait for tomorrow!

Great job! Was your car fully loaded?

Not familiar with Penfed, but that seems like a real good rate. Is that for ex cons?

How does it compare to your Z4M?
I was thinking of buying one of those.

I just put down about 250 miles over the weekend. Still babying until the 1000 miles break in period so can't really comment on any comparison with my Z4MC.
Only complaint so far is the automatic!! can't seem to keep it from upshifting everytime.
Oh and car feels so heavy.. especially when braking.

Congrats and welcome to the family!
Just got my new C63 2 weeks ago as a 2nd car and I can't stop driving it (my daily driver is an '07 ML320CDI)
Let us know how you like it and if you get the opportunity pics would be great too.
Enjoy!

C63
When I got my 09 C63 the best rate I could get was 5.5 with a 760 FICO.

I just applied for PenFed today to attempt a refi. How long does it take to get an approval? Did they require a lot of documents and were they pretty strict?

They are pretty strict but they only offer one rate. You either get approved or not. I was asked to send my pay stubs as income verification. (normally banks do not check my income since I have near 800 FICO score)
Applied on Thursday, picked up check on Friday.

OMG I think my fuel tank has a hole in it.
Went through a full tank of gas in two days!
I can see the fuel indicator drop everytime I step on it!

I thought my M Coupe had bad mileage at 16mpg..

Waiting for a clear day to take some pics.. It's been raining on and off here.
My first mod is LED eyebrows or painted side markers depending which one comes first.
This break-in period is painful. I have to admit I did go over 4500rpm a couple of times.
