I was searching the local car listings for C63's just curious as to what 2011's were selling for and found a AMG C63 Affalterbach Edition on sale for $117000!

To me this price is ridiculous! (I was offered the same car in march for $80000) At $117K its almost the price of a new black series! What are your thoughts??

 

WOW!! I would sell mine and everything with it including the trailer for that price. LOL

 

 

what is special about the Affalterbach Edition?

 

The new owner must've gotten suckered by the sales guy thinking he can flip this for profit with only 30 made worldwide haha.

It's just a fully loaded C63 with special paint, special plaque, at a lower pricepoint to help move the last pre-facelift cars quicker. MB does this to most models prior to a facelift and prior to redesign. My gf bought a B200 Turbo "Avantgarde", which was loaded with AMG wheels and all the options with a $4000 savings compared to spec'ing out all the options individually.

 

custom matte Magno Allanite Grey Paint



carbon fiber mirrors



a carbon fiber spolier



red brake calipers



red interior stitching



an Affalterbach logo on the seats



and shift knob



along with carbon fiber trim...and a plaque



also premium package and performance package

nice. I wish they offered the black seats with red stitching on regular models

 

well i will consider selling you mine for $116,999

Very pretty car with nice features for sure but the price is a little steep. ; )

 

the owner wants a black series.

 

Hmm maybe I'll pay the extra dollar to get the one in the ad. it has less miles..I'll think about it

 

 

The guys on crack!
You could buy a low mileage 997TT for that price.

 

that price is insane

 

ahhhhh i forgot to mention the red-trimmed floor mats...that probably would have sealed the deal!

I realize this is an old thread but I was catching up on some reading in The Star last night and there is a guy with a brand new 2011 Affalterbach Edition with 38 km on the odometer. He runs a business as a Volvo Service Specialist just outside Hamilton ON.
He was asking $97000 which I assume is US$$$s (or close to $130000 CDN) a year ago and from some text/phone contact he still may have it (wonder why). There is an error in the ad which says it has 17000 miles on it but he claims it was never plated or driven.
I am not clear on the numbers produced because one article suggests only 30 were imported into Canada whereas other articles suggest there were only 30 made world wide. A lot of money no matter how you slice it.
Out of interest this is an article I found on line:

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/14/m...on-for-canada/

and a screen shot of the ad.

 

I've seen that ad posted for months, if not years. He has been trying to sell that car for some time.

It's probably one of those typical buyers and sellers who thinks that he can make a killing on a name like "special edition affalterbach edition".

probably bought it for just that, to resale at a profit thinking the car will go up in value seeing that its 1/100...

 

That is essentially what I told him. He will be waiting for it to come around as a classic or he needs a very special collector/buyer.
There was a fully optioned 2012 with 12000 km with Nappa two tone seats and 507 wheels for sale in Vancouver that included a comprehensive extended warranty. He asked and got $59000 CDN. Sort of puts this one in perspective.
Lots of money for some badges, top stitched seats and leather trimmed floor mats over a Development Package car.
