BerBer63 07-31-2012 09:27 PM

Just testing waters seeing if there is interest as a whole. I have a total number that i have in my head. Parting makes the most sense obviously but it would be nice to let someine else have everything as a whole

dodger63 07-31-2012 10:12 PM

If anyone has suggestions on what they think iys worth please help me as i see it worth allot and thats prob unrealistic

Its a chrysler. Theyll have everything soon. Its such a smooth driving car i think a good mix between fun and usefulness

c63edition1 07-31-2012 11:21 PM

havn't test driven it, intend to .. but i worry that i would miss cornering ability and german build quality, the jeep will depreciate more dont u think ?? also considering the ZL1 camaro, but would rather pick one up used with 2-5k miles .. pulley, catted header, exhaust, tune .. and thats a 650hp monster

Im going to try to deal for a while

Without the mods, I got $40k for mine on trade 6 months ago with 3k more miles and p30. If that gives you a realistic expectation of the market in terms of trade/private party/msrp. I'm guessing low 40's.

I test drove a 2013 SRT8 for wifey last weekend. Really dug it. Drove smooth and the interior tech features were really impressive - sports updates and news streamed to the dash, ac seats, etc. It pulls hard for an SUV but in stock form will leave you a little disappointed vs the AMG, it lacks that extra "ok this thing really moves" feeling. It was nice but depending on price it may make more sense to get one a year or two old...they felt a bit more like a car, drove super tight, the new one feels huge.

propain 08-01-2012 09:43 AM

One of the fastest C63's out there. If someone is interested in modding a C63 this car will save them a lot of hassle getting it done.

GLWS


No idea on price. Probably 40K if it was all OEM. Add another 5-6K for the mods.

45K would probably sell quick. I dont know if thats too cheap sounding to you or anyone else but my guess is thats your number. :nix:

Good choice but I'd wait until they drop the 8 speed auto in it. I don't think that's until 2014 model year though.

A Hennessy SRT8 Cherokee should fit your bill :)

If you're gonna do any highway driving, don't get the jeep. 3.70 gears with a 5spd tranny is horrible on the highway....

The thing revs over 3000RPM just cruising at 60mph's....if you think the fuel economy is bad in a C63....load up an SRT8 Jeep and cruise around for half a day

It really needs the 8SPD

I was also looking at the SRT8 Jeep but ended up getting a new QX56

jvanbrecht 08-01-2012 10:43 AM

I honestly do not know about the SRT8, my wife however does have the V6 2012 Jeep GC, and I have driven it, obviously it has no power compared to my car, but it is a comfy ride, and does just fine for Me, my wife, our 3 month old, a great dane, a dalmatian, and camping gear for a weekend outing (yes.. we went camping when our child was 5 or 6 weeks old :) ), and this is not a hotel trip.. it is no facilities camping.. you go to the bathroom, you bring a shovel (or a diaper in babies case :) )

I have a 2012 Grand Cherokee Limited w/Hemi. It's a very nice cross between a luxury SUV and sport SUV. The SRT8 in my opinion sucks only because of the transmission. As someone else mentioned it needs the 8sp.

Vegas_AMG 08-01-2012 01:20 PM

I tried to talk to my brother, who lives on Long Island, into getting a C63. But he went in a differenct direction.
Good luck with the sale but 32,000 miles a quarter mile at time is a little rough on the motor..........just kidding.

I stand corrected, I just went and checked, its the Hennessy tuned one that is rwd only (specifically the $230k version, regular hennessy bolt on and tunes should not affect the stock tranny in the srt8)

I think what's important for prospective buyers to consider is how much care you put into the upkeep of this car. I mean, sure it was raced. But, the other side of the coin is that at every opportunity you were monitoring this car and making sure it held up. Most owners have not examined every inch of this car as closely as you.

If you decide to sell the car with the mods it will take a certain type of buyer to be interested, but I just can't imagine many C63 owners that have put so much time and money into making sure this car runs right.

On a lighter note, I think MB/AMG should thank you for your dedication to helping this platform advance. :y

w204nyc 08-01-2012 04:58 PM

i would have paid 45K for that. My brother is looking for a new car but I think he is trying to stay around the 40k area. But maybe you can part out the mods to me and sell it stock to him.

He is having a har time dumping hos slow m3. He doesnt want to take such a big loss. Everywhere he tried to trade it in, they offered 4k less than what he owes.

It would be a sin to part that car out. Someone will buy it as is. Try throwing it up on Ebay if you get no bites here.

You could finally break the 9 second barrier.

The worst part is, those guys are in Long Island so you'd have no excuses. Especially since it's about 200k cheaper than the Hennesey version.

Are you going for a 2014 SRT8?

I'm wondering if the rumors are true and they will produce a 570hp supercharged engine. I like a lot of the other changes they're making to the car too. My C63 was my California car and I am very hesitant to drive it in the snow now that I am back in Chicago. If I were to get an SUV I would most likely grab the SRT8. I looked at them a few years ago, but the interior was so cheap looking I couldn't pull the trigger.

I also really like the Performance Pages featuring "timers measuring 0-60 mph, one-eighth mile and quarter-mile runs. Lateral and longitudinal G-forces, steering angle, horsepower and torque output and 60-0 breaking distance are all neatly displayed on the vivid 8.4-inch touchscreen."

You'll have to do a nice write up and pics to let us know what you think.

Try allpar.com and autoblog.com. They showed this to be faked.
That's a quote from the Youtube comments. I wouldn't believe everything you read because I saw this video and still purchased a 2012 Limited JGC. If you do a little due diligence most creditable sources say the results were rigged.

This is my 4-5 Jeep and never had a problem.

CoolBDPhenom03 08-07-2012 01:58 AM

LOL, he called it a "yeep." If you want to see how they really perform, do an SRT Driving Experience day. We were taking turns at Thunder Hill at 80+ mph in the Jeep SRT8 and it was our autocross relay vehicle. They were also the fastest mini-drag race vehicles off the line.
