I was stoked about getting a C63 but I feel it looks too generic..like I am driving a 300 with spoilers....EVERYBODY buys a 300 now with those damn $349 a month deals....they are everywhere!!!! Even though they could own a CLS55 or CL65 for $450 a month ....and the power is nothing compared to a CL65 or a even a CLS55.....my buddy with a 100k mile stock CL65 raced a C63 a week ago and he destroyed him as he was spinning tires to almost like 60 mph.......sorry to admit this...I test drove 3 of these cars....I am not a fan anymore ...a AMG fan but not of this car....for $45-$50k? that is crazy money when you can get a CLS55 for under $40k or a CL65 which is the top of the line King AMG for under $40k as well

My other buddy who owned the graphite C63 who had mods and was running 121 through the 1/4 just sold his to buy a 2005 CL65 locally with 76k miles------ now its my turn...I hate having a slow CLS500
you sound like your girl cheated on you with a C63 owner! yeah you can get all this cars for cheaper, but alot older and alot more miles too! you can get a E55 W211 that is bigger and faster than a C63 for under 20k nowdays! Heck you can even get a F car for under 50K it dont mean sh*t. its about what people want not what they can get with that money! And why are you talking as if a C63 is suppose to beat a CL65, its a V12TT, did you even know that? you are comparing a 200K car to a 60K car, get your sh*t straight, and dont hate on the people that buy for that $349, because some people dont want performance or dont want to spend the money, or simply can't afford and settle for a C300 because it serves their needs! there is nothing wrong with that!

Why don't you count the number of times you say "I" in your post---guess what, this thread isn't about you. Self absorbed much?

Congrats to the OP--beautiful car.

Yeah. I guess I made a mistake.

Try the new topic button and post your thoughts in your own thread. This one is about my purchase, and just like we all have different tastes, buying a car is no different. Whether you like a Benz or a Pinto, it really doesn't matter to me. Good luck finding what YOU like, I've found what I like.

To everyone who gave me a warm welcome - thank you. The worst part is the car is in my garage and I had to fly to LA this morning on business. However it's raining up in Sacramento, so it looks like it's going to be in the garage for at least a few days before I can get her out on the road.

Cls500
my point exactly

you are right and grats on the purchase...My opinion is just mine only... I see cars in a different manner...I see a value for the dollar and I dont see it in a used C63...Unless I was blind

Yes I would buy the $200K supercar CL65 2005-2006 for under $40k way over paying $40-50k for a C63

And Yes I would buy the CLS55 that was $100k way over the used C63

And yes I would take all day long a $30k E63 over a $50k C63...why? WHY SPEND MORE MONEY ON LESS CAR??????????? again it is a better built engeeered car...and better looking...

We buy a MERCEDES because it is a Mercedes...right?
CL65
E63
CLS55
these cars above look like $100k cars....they represent the look the emblem on the grill..... A C63 looks like a cross between a budget VW and a HYANDAI ....just the facts...
The C63 was the answer to the M3..and 3 series .not to what Mercedes stands for which is rich engineering and a bold statement...I DRIVE A BENZ ....

WHY? because
1. they look a lot better====Sorry I just dont see the C class anymore as a good looking car....
2. You are getting a much rarer by model car...50k C classes are made annually and only 2500 CL class cars are made annually and less then 10k CLSs' are made annually...
3. You are getting more engineering...ALOT MORE....hell the 2009 C63 didnt even have keyless!
4. You are simply getting ALOT MORE car for you money....and when I drive my car I just bought I want myself and other people to know I AM driving a $100k or $200k car I PAID much less for hence the depreciation.....ONLY i KNOW THAT!!...LOL.....not a rental car with more power...

The age means crap the miles mean crap...as long as the car is taken care of
I have a 270k mile 5 year old Chevrolet pickup...I am dead sure a Benz can take more miles since it cost 5 times more and is made from better materials and engineering...I have seen a few 200k AMG's running as new

And most of all ....I would hate to own a car I just paid $50k for that is confused with a rental car that Hertz rents for $79 a day....

Now if the car was under $30k ...I would say that it was a good deal but to choose it over a $100k car or a $200k car...you can pick up for less??? The old CL class is a sick *** looking car...fast as hell ..only 180 CL65's built....A cls55 IS again a timeless work of art....everybody 18-75 loves the way the car looks...it is a sexy *** beast ....... well that is ones choice.... I though will be buying a car worth more from the get go for less then the bottom class C mercedes my neighbor gets confused with their kid they bought one for graduation on a $349 a month lease....

Sdfachi. We love our C63s. Believe it when I say this. If we wanted a different AMG or any other MB, we would have gotten it. Not everyone is as self absorbed as you. Even if I could afford a new $100k car, I would not buy one, unless it was an SLS! Not everyone buys expensive cars for the 'status' factor. The C63 is an entry level performance sedan for under $100k fully optioned. Don't come to us telling who can purchase/lease what. If you aren't the one paying for it, then STFU. You keep going on and on with your novel. Makes my blood boil. Sorry if I offended anyone, I'm not usually this mean. Good morning all.

Nah, don't mind trolls like him too much. For me the only AMG that make sense in the line up are the C63, SLK55, SL65, and the SLS. For the money of a new CLS or E63, I much rather to have the C63 plus a GT-R. I don't buy used and there are too many factors on models with used prices... or may be we should all go cheap and get a used GT-R for about $55k then leave him to eat dust .

But again, there is still the wild card out there known as the C63 BS Coupe...

I have exactly the same feeling every time I drive mine. Infact, simply starting it up in the morning and standing behind it while it warms up is enough to put a silly grin on my face.

Enjoy.....

Yes, lets all sell our C63s and get a used GTR and still have money left over to add another 100 WHP. That way, if we ever see this guy on the road, we can put on our robe and wizard hat and make him disappear in our rear view mirror. Hehe

... and put the ///AMG badge on it .

I am keeping my C63 for now, and I am thinking about getting a GT-R later as my second ride. My excuse: I am only getting an AWD Nissan for the snow!!

Are you sure your silly grin isn't from the fact that you're standing behind the car while it's spewing out unburnt gasoline fumes? lol

Just like to say congrats on your C63 I think its the best AMG out there today. If I had the money of Bill Gates the car I would drive would be no different to the one I drive today.

well maybe a 2012 with the MCT but the same one none the less. Opinions vary yes but for me this is the car.

I had a GTR and sold it...wanna see the registration? AND RACING VIDS..

I bought it for $70k with 300 miles..sold it a month ago for $63k with 17k miles...I was running 10.76@130 with it...

I had that and my CLS500...I didnt want to continue paying $1000 a month for a car I drove once a week...

And I wouldnt buy any car new unless I was worth millions and millions or I was buying a entry level truck...

The cars I compared the C63 to were
CL65
E63
CLS55
All of those cars are less then a rental car C63.....and are much cooler and much much better built....
I know u all like your cars...I am not knocking the car...I am knocking the price the car sells for...it is ridiculously high compared to a real AMG like a CL65 or CLS55....
The SLS IS NICE ..but for $210k??? what?? i would buy a Lambo Murc and a S65 for that money...and I have been in and driven a SLS..fast car but not $200k worthy...more like $125k tops...

Only an idiot with a lot of cash buys any of these cars new...they depreciate like rocks and WHEN U LEAVE THE LOT...is is used...Believe it or not.....I have had 100k mile cars and 1000k mile cars...and I didnt see a damn difference to tell you the truth....

You've come in here and tried to ruin the guys thread so you can sell that, 90,000 mile CL65 of yours, it's obvious you're "retarded monk" and if the mods IP check you'll be gone.

On topic: Congrats, looks like a very clean example Unixadm. Yes, the one weak point of all Benzes fitted wit the 7G is the poor response in manual mode but other than that you're going to love the car. And nice Interceptor, I've wanted one for a while as a cruiser.

I had planned to ignore your idiotic trollish comments, but some things have to be addressed. You want to compare 6-7 year old CL65's that's out of warranty to a 1-2 CPO low mileage car? Have you ever owned a CL55 or 65 before? They cost an arm and a leg to maintain! Why don't you leave this guys thread alone and let him enjoy his purchase? If you want to rant and b*tch about how you think 6-7 year old out of warranty cars are better than a newer car, go create a thread and rant. Most of us here bought the C63, because that is what we want, not because that's all we could afford. Good luck finding buyers for your 6-7 year old CL65 with no warranty and 100+k miles. You can't seem to get away from the notion that we didn't max out our budgets and "ONLY" bought a C63. Wake up! Your statement about a 70k C63 not being a Mercedes when compared to a 150k Merc. That's like saying a M3 is a glorified econo box when compared to a 760iL. Go crawl back into that little hole you crawled out of and spare us from your idiotic statements.

OP, Congrats on your new car! Don't let these "Debbie Downers" ruin your moment.
