$20k price difference?
I'm in the market for a C63 AMG. I currently have an SLK 55 AMG and the lease is ending. I've talked to a couple dealers and have done some research online, and the new ones are priced somewhere in the range of $60k - $80k. Why such a large price gap?
I know with my SLK 55 there weren't that many add-on options, since the AMG package was basically everything already. I know there's a performance upgrade to C63 to remove the governor, but I don't think most of the ones at $80k had this.
Take these two for example:
$59,995 - http://*******/aEvEo
$83,000 - http://*******/uY0uk
Did something major change between the 2010 models and the 2011 models?

I read the two descriptions and I wouldnt get either of them anyway. Neither one says the mileage and neither one says it has LSD or COMMAND.
Anyway, asking price is not selling price in any case in the car business. And my two cents, I would never pay $83,000 for a C63, come on???? At least put the real picture in the wright up. What breed of monkey's are running those ads?

Right, I understand the price is negotiable. My real question is, is there a $20,000 feature difference in the 2010 vs 2011? Also what did you all pay on average for your C63s in the US?
Thanks

No, there is not a $20,000 dollar option difference. The prices are comparable for comparable options.
The list price for a C63 AMG can be from $58,200 to $77,000+ depending on options. My advice is to get as many options as you can afford.

Deal so good that I'm jealous. I paid 84k usd after negotiations. But then again, I built it exactly to my specifications and options(which was everything). Very satisfied with purchase non-the-less. First time I got in, buckled up, and felt the throttle, I never once looked back.

Just bought a new 2010 msrp of 72k with LSD, command etc for 57k. The deals are out there just gotta look and press the dealers. I bought mine 1k miles away from home because my dealers either didn't have a nicely loaded car or wouldn't budge on ridiculous pricing. So I took the Amtrak auto train up and back problem solved. U can easily build an 80k c63 but there are some good deals. The p031 cars are a bit harder to find. No trunk money right now but the 2011's should see it at some point. So if you can't find a decent deal wait for the 2011 trunk money.

I posted this in another forum as well, but I'm not sure where the question should go.
Has anyone here ever used lease trading websites like leasetrader.com, swapalease.com, etc.? The big question I have is about the tax ramifications. I live in Chicago, and I believe that in Illinois when you lease a car you still have to pay the full tax amount, even if the title is being transfered from another state in which the tax was paid in full at purchase time.
