Why C63's price goes down very quick?
How much for maintenance and other service each year(Annual 10k miles).Or MB has cover warranty and maintenance like BMW? Everything free after several years from new.
Is it the same from 2009-2011 for chassis and engine?

I wouldn't say that C63's depretiate quick, if you see other Mercs, the prices of those go down reaaaly quick. I compared the depretiation ratio agains the B8 RS4, and the RS4s depretiated much quicker than the C63's (edmunds).

For maintenance, you will probably be changing tires each 5-8k miles (rears), cause these cars literally eat the rear's (combination of torque + weight + narrow tires for such powerful engine). Add that to your budget. Engine oil replacement will be around 120 bucks if you do it on non-MB workshops (I do mine each 3.7k - full sinthetic). Expect throwing $300+ at an MB delarship. Fuel is another expense you need to consider. Average comsumption is on 11 - 16 mpg on mixed driving. I think MB don't offer free maintenance as BMW, but these cars are very reliable (for gasket engine troubles of the M156 you should check another thread on this forum). Also, consider the front brake pad and rotor change at 35-40k.

from 2009-2011 the chasis is almost the same, but MB offered development packages on 2010 (more HP) and 2011 (more HP, plus better brakes). Those cars are more expensive and hard to find (believe me, I tried for almost a year). 2011 P31s (dev package) brakes are more expensive to replace. Trannies remained the same for those years. Only on 2012, when the car was facelfted, it obtained a more up-to-date transmission, but it seems that is prone to overheating on race track sessions (from what I've been reading in this forum).

Good hunting!

I plan to drive my c63 to the ground so depreciation is not a concern for me.

Lol, me too...Fung63 you get extended warranty? I got 7yr / 100k.. I have a loooot of miles to drive before I do serious engine mods

You can prepay your service for first 5 years if buying new. I paid ~2500, but I still do an extra oil change between servicing. If your buying used, then this should be good for you..

I really really appreciate. Also, how much should I pay for a 2012 Cpe P31 fully loaded C63? They asking for 73000. It's a used car from dealer.

Perhaps the fact that most people today are concerned about the rising price of gas and a car that's rated at 12 mpg local and 19 mpg highway is definitely not acceptable to most people. But for true car enthusiasts that must have the power, sound, and feeling of driving a C63 than that doesn't matter that much.

Not many people will buy a used C63 knowing it's probably been driven hard by the previous owner and those that can afford to own such a car usually buy it new.

The sad thing is the current 6.3 liter is the last of the big V8's. They even tried refining the sound from the pre face lift cars cause they would pop and gurgle more then the newer ones.

My 2012 pops and gurgles just as much as my 2010 did. If they refined something it's not noticeable to me.

That is what the dealer told me when i drove both cars 2011 and 2012.

Pickles

Nor me....Nor the Victorian Highway Patrol!!....My dealer informs me that they regularly receive calls from them regarding the C63's exhaust being "too loud".....and they are simply told....that's how it is!
Cheers, Pickles.
