C63 AMG Coupe P31
i researched this at the time of buying my coupe and the dealer mark up is somewhere in the 6-7 percent range.....so depending on options, they are charging ruffly 5-7 thousand dollars per vehicle. so, they have that much to play with. congrats on getting them to budge on the msrp. how much are they cutting off for you?

Thank you. Hope I can get a sporty ride , but not a teeth shaker. Worst ride was my M3 with SMG trans. Even my kids found it unbearable. LOL

I had an E46 M3 (with 19's) and the ride in my 2012 sedan (on 18's) is significantly better.

The ride in the C63 is not a soft pillow, as well. Hope it all works out for you, The C63 is a wonderful all around performer.

Do you mind sharing the trade in price for your GTR? I'm might buy one if I sell my M3.

Thanks- No problem- Trade in price was $56000.00 car had 18000 miles and tires were shot. So if I sold the car retail I would have to pay tax on the full price, but I only paid tax on the difference in price. $ 3,360 in sales tax saving. That means I would have to get $59,360.00 for the GTR to break even. Wasn't worth the trouble to get an extra $1000.00 . Final discount after some more discussion was $3560.00 and no dealer fee of $599.00.
Last day of the month didn't hurt the deal.
Only have 100 miles on car so far,but all is good. That is one great SOUNDING auto. This looks like a very active message board and thanks to all of you for your questions.

For the picture - if you start a picture hosting membership (free) like photobucket, you upload to there, then it gives you a link starts with [IMG] to post the pic to forums
