better off buying 2009?

i was just curious what people thought about buying a 2009 c63 vs a 2010. from what i can tell, the physical look of the c63 is the same from 2009 to 2010. are there any big differences from one model to the other? i am just curious because i am sure i would be able to negotiate a better price on a 2009 over a 2010.

Side mirrors are the only apparent physical differences.

As you live in the US, Keyless Go is not an option on the 2009.

Factory backup camera can be had on a 2010, but is easy to retrofit on a 2009.

since c63 are ordered most of the time, would it be a a slim chance that i can find a new 2009 at the dealership?

Yes
no they are there. MB of Cary in NC has one in black/black with everything but PP & CF - call them and ask for Ed Sigmund, he is the GM. Tell him youre a friend of Nick's with the C63, he'll take care of you.

At the prices the 09's were going for, its a no brainer I would get an 09. Parktronic and keyless go is not worth $15k to me, dont know about you guys.

I live within 40 minutes from 5 dealers here in Northern NJ. ALL have them in stock. When I bought mine in February-I had 4 to choose from. All ordered BY the dealer with ALL options BUT the PP.

You'll cushion your depreciation by buying a discounted 2009. But you'll have to take what you can find on the lot. Also if the 2010 goodies are things you really want, then, well, that's the way it goes....
