09-2 c63 price tag
just got my service B done in an 08 300 (19,500 miles) and as i was waiting, i decided to test drive a left over 09 they had on the lot. sticker was/is 67,360...loaded minus the PP which i don't want. They offered me a VERY good deal on trade in assuming i put it back to stock and they can certify it, which i will and they can. most of the aftermarket stuff is transferable to the 63 anyway so i won't have to worry about parting it out...then I gradually get into the K2 tune, headers, etc and go from there...thus not needing the PP.
after all the above, i guess my question is, can i do better on this car than 55k? which is obviously what their offer was. i'll get around 30k for the 300.
Obviously 13k and change off a car that i didn't even really haggle with the guy about is huge but the question is...can i do better?
the c63 isn't a demo or loaner...its a left over...i've checked. suggestions are appreciated!

ha. that's how i came into my twin turbo porsche when my 997 C2S was in for service--the fatal test drive. i have the dealer pick up my cars for service now...just so i'm not tempted.
So it's $55K out the door excluding your trade?
To get your best deal, I recommend you tell them that you'll sell your 300 private party and for hem to give you the best $ on purchasing the C63 w/o a trade. Then, once you have that number in writing, tell them you changed your mind and plan to trade. See then what they're willing to give you on the C300. If it's a fair price to you, than go for it.
Not knowing your situation completely, my recommendation is to sell your 300 private party assuming the delta between trade-in price and PP is significant to you. There will be plenty of C63's around.

i certainly won't be taking a bath on my trade in and to be honest (i'll obviously do the math) i sort of would love to just take a weekend, put my car on the lift, back to stock (except x-pipe, can't weld), the aftermarket stuff goes back in the boxes, i pay the 25k and am done. no 3rd party to find or meet and negotiate with.
don't / won't need new wheels, coilovers, side markers ect.
i may even be able to get MB to put the aftermarket stuff on the 63 as part of the deal and save me the hassle.

Yes
To answer your question, I would offer them $53k - that is not unheard of. I got mine loaded with PP for $55k + TTT.
If anyone is looking for a car like the OP described (everything minus PP) I know of one, its black on black, PM me if interested.

I presume by your post that they are giving you $30K for your C300, and charging your $55K for the C63? If those are the real number, run, don't walk, and make that deal. KBB trade-in is coming in between $23K - $27K depending on options, location, etc. Private party is about $26K - $30K. KBB usually reports higher numbers than one can expect to actually get.
If you can get your dealer to pay you $30k for your car, and walk out with a C63 at $55K, you're a rock star.
But seriously, it's rarely a good move to combine a trade with a purchase in the beginning of a negotiation. Always bring the trade to the table once you settle upon the purchase price of the other car.

Forgive me but are we talking $US? If so...WOW; you get your cars so cheap! You are talking similar amounts in $ to what I've just paid in £££'s.
Basically, you have just been offered a C63 for $55k??
My fully loaded C63 was £62k (yes...pounds!). Thats just short of $100k! Now, I thought I got a good deal getting mine for £53k - a fairly big discount over here. However, in your currency, it still means I paid £84k!
For $55k (about £34k) we get something like a mid-range 4-cylinder C-Class!!
You guy's are so lucky!
