Is this a good price 2009 C63?

What have other paid for similiar 2009's?

It has 22,500 miles for $45,000 and the following options;

AMG Performance Package, Leather Package, Multimedia Package
They also said the AMG peformance pkg contains the following

AMG Performance Package
  • Includes AMG compound braking system and AMG track-calibrated suspension system. Delimitation Of Top Speed To 174 MPH
  • Limited Slip Differential Lock AMG Leather & Alcantara Performance Steering Wheel
I dont see that type of steering wheel in the pictures what do you guys think?

These guys are lying to you about, the AMG performance package as it has neither. The performance package has red calipers and two-piece compound rotors, and this car doesn't have that. It may have a LSD, but the package comes with it. And the alcantara is a man made suede product, and I don't see if on the steering wheel.
Tell them to send you the VMI on the car. Then again, they could have just used this existing photo of a C63 as a place holder on their website. But this car pictured in the photo doesn't have the performance package trust me on this, I know.

The AMG Performance Pack on 2010's+ have the red calipers. Not on 08's and 09's. HOWEVER, the dealer is wrong in listing that this car has the AMG Performance Pack. Many non-MB dealers make this mistake when listing a C63, or any AMG for that matter. They assume that if it has the AMG badge it has the AMG Performance Pack. The best way to tell if the car has the package is the Alcantera/Leather steering wheel. This car doesn't have it.

Now as for your question on price, the price seems competitive, but the pictures don't make the car look like it is in pristine condition. The interior on the C63 wears quite quickly if not taken care of. Take your time on your car search and wait for the car that you can afford and that is in great condition. You might also want to consider a CPO car for a little bit more money. This ensures it has been properly inspected and that all necessary maintenance has been done. When buying an AMG you have to be careful about wear and tear items. Many times you could be buying a car that could very quickly after purchase need something big like brakes. 22k seems like a low mileage amount on any other car, but 22k in an AMG does a lot of damage.

22,000 miles for $45,000 sounds about right, especially from a dealer. I usually check www.autotrader.com to compare prices. Just look up the make and model of the vehicle in question and see what others are selling for

'09 P30 performance pack did not have red calipers, they were standard, and the P30 DID include the rear limited slip diff & other items mentioned that year.

That being said, as already noted the car in the OPs listing doesn't look to have the P30 at all, unless the steering wheel was replaced or ordered specifically without the alcantara wrapping.

Not a bad deal, although I picked up my CPO 2009 C63 w/ P2 package and 7,000 miles for $50K on the nose.

Haggle with them - you can definitely get that number down a little bit.

No Perf pack-no limited slip and 174 limiter.

I have heard that some of the earlier '09 cars had partial P30 packages, maybe as the package was being developed?

I think it may be possible to have the LSD and delimited 174mph ECU upgrade without the brakes, suspension or alcantara covered wheel. Maybe MBUSA can run the VIN for you and tell you for sure exactly what the car is listed with for options.

Jon...Early builds had LSD and were delimited. The performance pack was ala carte. If the OP really wants to know what options are on the car, he can just go to a dealer to pull the spec sheet on the Vin.

At least in Europe you can order the AMG driver's package which over here includes a vmax to something like 270 kph, and an entry to the AMG driver's academy. Maybe that's what has been included if it is delimited. Or alternatively it has been tuned.

Yes
Some of the early 09's absolutely had partial performance packages by accident. Folks paid for the package and found no alcantara, most commonly.

I called MB USA with the vin #. They said it does have the limited slip. It doesn't have the P2 package is that a important option?
